A disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and the topsheet. At least a portion of the are depressions, wherein the depressions have a depression centerline bisecting a length and/or width of the depression. A first strut forms a first sidewall of the depression opposite a second sidewall of the depression formed by a second strut, wherein neither of the first strut nor the second strut extend longitudinally and/or laterally beyond the depression centerline by more than 0.75 mm.

A barrier fabric suitable as a backsheet for an underpad configured for a low air loss bed, in which the barrier fabric comprises a first nonwoven fabric including outermost spunbond layers and two or more fine-fiber containing nonwoven layers. Each of the nonwoven layers being treated with a non-fluorinated barrier coating (NFBC).

A nano-zinc oxide-supported bacterial cellulose microfiber-alginate fiber composite is described. The composite is obtained by absorbing nano-zinc oxide-supported bacterial cellulose microfibers on an alginate fiber spunlace non-woven fabric; the nano-zinc oxide is uniformly distributed on the surface of the bacterial cellulose microfibers. This composite has good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and water absorption properties, and has a great application prospect in biomedical fields, such as wound dressings, human body repair materials, tissue engineering materials, etc.

An object of the present invention is to develop and provide a fiber-reinforced composite material having a bagworm silk thread(s) as a reinforcing fiber and being isotropic in terms of elastic modulus and strength. A fiber-reinforced composite material having nonwoven fabric(s) including bagworm silk thread as a reinforcing fiber is also provided.

A mycelium sheet or panel material which has had an upper portion of its growing surface removed prior to or concurrently with harvest, provides a more homogeneous surface for later processing of the mycelium sheet or panel material into a mycelium-based textile. An additional rinsing step of a mycelium sheet or panel material which has had an upper portion removed provides a surface which is even more amenable to textile processing into a mycelium-based textile. Such removal and rinsing steps produce a mycelium-based sheet or panel material which provide more homogeneity, such as in color appearance or texture, thereby leading to a more homogeneous mycelium-based textile end product. By addressing and eventually removing fungal growth metabolites during the mycelial growth and harvest processes, later textile processing challenges with the mycelium-based material may be eliminated. Undesirable surface irregularities in the mycelium-based material of final textile products may also be eliminated.
