In one aspect, parachute buffer materials are described herein. In some embodiments, parachute buffer materials described herein comprise a fabric formed from a plurality of fibers and a coating disposed on at least one outer surface of the fabric. The fibers have an inner component formed from a thermoplastic material and an outer component formed from a non-thermoplastic material. In some cases, the fabric is a woven fabric. Additionally, the coating can comprise or contain a silicone along with, or without, other functional components. Moreover, materials described herein can be used to form various structures for parachute buffering applications, and the coatings of materials described herein can enhance the materials' buffering performance.

Processes for making fibrous structures and more particularly processes for making fibrous structures comprising filaments are provided.

Disclosed are interfacially modified particulate and polymer composite material for use in injection molding processes, such as metal injection molding and additive process such as 3D printing. The composite material is uniquely adapted for powder metallurgy processes. Improved products are provided under process conditions through surface modified powders that are produced by extrusion, injection molding, additive processes such as 3D printing, Press and Sinter, or rapid prototyping.

The present invention discloses a breathable and non-see-through warp knitted fabric, which comprises a fabric body, wherein the fabric body comprises an inelastic yarn and an elastic yarn, wherein the inelastic yarn and the elastic yarn are knitted in a warp knitting threading manner to form a knitting structure, wherein the inelastic yarn in the knitting structure is in a first warp plain weave structure of more than or equal to three needles, wherein the elastic yarn in the knitting structure is in a second warp plain weave structure, wherein the first and second warp plain weave structures are arranged in the same direction, and wherein the knitting structure has an empty through structure. The inelastic yarn and the elastic yarn of the warp knitted fabric of the present invention are knitted in a warp knitting threading manner to form a knitting structure, and the contraction of the elastic yarn, the warp plain weave structure and the empty through structure of the present invention achieve good breathability and anti-see-through effects.

Processes for making fibrous structures and more particularly processes for making fibrous structures comprising filaments are provided.

A filamentary core for a composite yarn for a woven fabric; may include at least one elastic filament including rubber. The rubber may be a natural rubber. The composite yarn may also include at least one control filament including a synthetic polymer.

A geotextile fabric includes a first weft yarn woven in a weft direction and a first warp yarn and a second warp yarn woven in a warp direction, the first warp yarn being a wicking yarn, and the second warp yarn being a wicking yarn or a non-wicking yarn, the first warp yarn forming a first loop that is woven through and extends from a first face of the woven geosynthetic fabric and across at least two of the first weft yarns to form a first gap between the first loop and first the face of the woven geosynthetic fabric.

A structure reinforcement fabric woven at a weft density in the range of 0.1-3 pcs/cm, comprises a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarn having a filament diameter in the range of 10-40 microns and a dtex value in the range of 900-4000, and a resin suitable for use with the fabric.

The invention relates to a nonwoven fabric comprising at least one nonwoven web composed of fibres. The nonwoven fabric has an embossed pattern. The embossed pattern consists of a plurality of embossmentspreferably not connected to one another. The embossments each have an embossing area of 0.05 to 0.3 mm.sup.2.

An elastic and conductive fiber includes a cladding with a channel and a conductor disposed therein. The cladding may be made of a thermoplastic elastomer. The conductive fiber includes an excess length of conductor disposed inside of the channel so that the conductive fiber can stretch without applying substantial strain to the conductor and without substantially changing the electrical resistance of the conductive fiber. The conductor inside of the channel may have a buckled shape or a helical shape.
