The present disclosure is drawn to a fabric print medium. The fabric print medium can include a treated fabric base substrate, an adhesion promoting layer, and an image-receiving layer. The treated fabric base substrate can include a fabric base substrate having a water proofing treatment including a water-repellant agent applied thereto. The adhesion promoting layer can be applied to the treated fabric base substrate. The adhesion promoting layer can include a first polymeric binder and a physical networking component. The image-receiving layer can be applied to the adhesion promoting layer. The image-receiving layer can include a second polymeric binder and a particulate filler.

A fiber structure includes a multilayer fabric including first yarns and second yarns. The fiber structure includes a first fabric edge, a second fabric edge, and fabric-style fixing portions. The fabric-style fixing portions are formed at least one of an outermost yarn and ends of one of the two types of yarns. Of the one of the two types of yarns, the outermost yarn is located closest to the ends of the other of the two types of yarns. The ends of the one of the two types of yarns are located closer to the ends than the outermost yarn.

The present invention relates to a power-transmitting friction belt having a compressed layer and a knitted fabric. The surface of the compressed layer is covered with the knitted fabric. The knitted fabric has an overlapping section in which one end and the other end of the knitted fabric overlap each other. The overlapping section has a bonding region containing a bonding component for bonding the end and the other end of the knitted fabric together.

Provided is process for producing a surface-metalized fiber, yarn, or fabric, the process comprising: (a) Feeding a continuous fiber, yarn, or fabric from a feeder roller into a graphene deposition chamber containing therein a graphene dispersion comprising multiple graphene sheets and an optional conducive filler dispersed in a first liquid medium and an optional adhesive resin dissolved in the first liquid medium; (b) Operating the graphene deposition chamber to deposit the graphene sheets and optional conductive filler to a surface of the fiber, yarn, or fabric for forming a graphene-coated fiber, yarn, or fabric; (c) Moving the graphene-coated fiber, yarn, or fabric into a metallization chamber which accommodates a plating solution therein for plating a layer of a desired metal onto the graphene-coated fiber, yarn, or fabric to obtain a surface-metalized fiber, yarn, or fabric; and (d) Operating a winding roller to collect the surface-metalized fiber, yarn, or fabric.
