A textile with an electrically conductive first side and an electrically conductive second side where the two sides are separated by an electrically insulating part of the textile and where the electrically conductivity is provided by a graphene coating on the respective sides and where a capacitance can be formed between the respective conductive sides.

An electrically conductive textile containing graphene that undergoes a change in electrical resistance when deformed.

An aircraft evacuation slide assembly may be comprised of a plurality of composite textiles. Each composite textile may comprise a fabric substrate, an inner polyurethane coating, and an outer heat reflective coating. The outer heat reflective coating may comprise nanofillers that improve polymer properties, such as mechanical, barrier, thermal, flame retardancy, and electrical properties. Moreover, the outer heat reflective coating may comprise nanofillers that enable hot air welding and radio frequency welding of the plurality composite textiles to form the aircraft evacuation slide assembly.

A gas barrier fabric is disclosed. The barrier fabric includes a fabric substrate. A heat-resistant coating layer disposed over a first side of the fabric substrate. A first gas barrier layer (also referred to herein as simply as a barrier layer) including a polymer is disposed over a second side of the fabric substrate. A second gas barrier layer is disposed over the first air barrier coating layer of the fabric substrate. The second barrier layer has a thickness of 5 nm to 1000 nm and includes aligned nanoplatelets.
