A light emitting device includes a radiation source for the emission of electromagnetic radiation and a converter element on which the electromagnetic radiation impinges in a first surface region and which, excited by the impinged electromagnetic radiation, emits visible light into an environment in a second surface region which differs at least partially from the first surface region. The wavelength of the light emitted into the environment differs from the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation impinged on the converter element. The converter element includes a luminous element including a textile with a converter material. The converter material due to excitation by the electromagnetic radiation with a first wavelength emits visible light with a second wavelength differing from the first wavelength. The radiation source realizes a background illumination for the converter element. The first surface region is formed by a side surface or a back surface of the converter element.

A sheet is produced by (i) producing a sheet by entangling woven or knitted material including a thread composed of a composite fiber such that two kinds or more of polyethylene terephthalate polymers different in intrinsic viscosity are stuck together in a side-by-side type along the fiber length direction and/or of a core-in-sheath type composite fiber such that two kinds or more of polyethylene terephthalate polymers different in intrinsic viscosity form an eccentric core-in-sheath structure, with a fiber capable of converting into ultra fine fibers composed of two kinds or more of polymeric substances different in solubility in solvent, (ii) developing an ultra fine fiber with an average single fiber fineness of 0.001 dtex or more and 0.5 dtex or less by treating the sheet with a solvent to thereafter provide elastomer having polyurethane as a main component by impregnating and solidifying solvent solution of elastomer having polyurethane as a main component into the sheet, or of providing elastomer having polyurethane as a main component by impregnating and solidifying solvent solution of elastomer having polyurethane as a main component into the sheet to thereafter develop an ultra fine fiber with an average single fiber fineness of 0.001 dtex or more and 0.5 dtex or less by treating the sheet with a solvent, and (iii) rubbing and shrinking the woven or knitted material under the condition of 110° C. or more.

An abrasion resistant finish for a fungal material, the finishing comprising an optimum quantity biodegradable polylactic acid plastic (PLA) dispersed in water to produce a PLA mixture. When the PLA mixture is applied to the fungal material, water carries the PLA deeply into the matrix of the fungal hyphae to a depth at least 2 N/10 mm or 1% of the thickness of the fungal material, whichever is greater. The finish fortifies the hyphal structure as the water evaporates and creates a PLA coating on the fungal material with improved abrasion resistance and water resistance.

A component includes a base portion made of fiber-reinforced resin, a first layer formed on the base portion, and a second layer formed on the first layer. A Vickers hardness of the second layer is higher than a Vickers hardness of the first layer. The Vickers hardness of the first layer is in a range equal to or larger than 50 HV and equal to or smaller than 250 HV.

The invention relates to a cover material for covering an airbag unit, comprising a textile carrier material (1) composed of threads and comprising a coating (2) based on thermoplastic materials applied to the textile carrier material (1) on the visible side, wherein the textile carrier material (1) has, in a longitudinal direction (L) and/or in the transverse direction (Q) orthogonal with respect thereto, linear regions (100) of lower strength than in the remaining regions (101), which linear regions form weakening lines (30) for the cover material (3), and along the weakening lines (30) the cover material has an ultimate tensile strength of 150 to 700 N and a tear propagation resistance of 3 to 45 N.

A glove is provided that includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer includes a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite including PVA chemically modified with nano cellulose and pre cross linked nitrile latex. The inner layer includes nitrile latex.

In a skin material, a front face of a first fibrous base material is a first color and a front face of a second fibrous base material is a second color. The second fibrous base material is laminated on a back face of the first fibrous base material. A through hole of the first fibrous base material penetrates the first fibrous base material in a laminating direction. A dimension of the through hole in a first direction is set to a first value (N1). A dimension of the through hole in a second direction is set to a second value (N2). A dimension of the through hole in the laminating direction is set to a third value (N3). The first value (N1) and the second value (N2) are set to be 0.38 times or more and 12 times or less with respect to the third value (N3).
