A process and composition is provided for preparing substrates with both visual and thermal camouflage. The substrate is metallized through a deposition process and polished or calendered to smooth the metal layer and lower the infrared emissivity of the layer deposited onto the substrate. The metallized substrate is then visually decorated by a tarnish and/or dying process that minimally impacts the infrared emissivity of the metallized substrate.

A heat insulation sheet includes a fiber sheet having spaces therein and a silica xerogel held in the spaces of the fiber sheet. The heat insulation sheet includes a thick region and a low compressible region thinner than the thick region. A compressibility of the low compressible region is equal to smaller than 5% upon having a pressure of 0.7 MPa applied to the low compressible region. This heat insulation sheet is superior in electrical insulation properties and thermal insulation properties, and secures a predetermined distance even in a case that the heat insulation sheet receives pressures from the both sides thereof, thus providing equipment with reliability.

The invention relates to a method of fabricating a conductive fabric by vapor phase polymerization, a multi-pressure sensor for a fiber type, and a multi-pressure measuring method employing the multi-pressure sensor. The method of fabricating a conductive fabric by vapor phase polymerization provides a conductive fabric having a resistance value which changes depending on pressure applied by a user. The multi-pressure measuring method employing the multi-pressure sensor has high resistance to moisture and repeated loading, is manufactured with lower costs than existing pressure sensors, is capable of measuring both dynamic and static pressures using a principle of a piezo-resistive sensor, has a simple circuit configuration, and is strong against a high-frequency disturbance.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a protein fiber, including an extension and contraction step of contracting or extending a protein raw fiber containing a protein by bringing the protein raw fiber into contact with a liquid or vapor; and a drying step of drying the protein raw fiber that has undergone the extension and contraction step while adjusting a length of the protein raw fiber to an arbitrary length.

A nonwoven fabric has active antimicrobial and anti-viral agents coated onto it. Alternatively, an active antimicrobial/antiviral agent may be mixed into the barrier coating or fiber polymers themselves that make up the nonwoven material. A primary example is the treatment of an existing fabric having known permeability appropriate for an intended use. Intended uses for this nonwoven fabric include, but are not limited to, as a wearable garment, hair coverings, “booties,” temporary curtains, instrument wraps, surgical drapes, and blankets, each of which has active antimicrobial protection, thereby allowing the possibility of multiple uses of the fabric product.
