A manufacturing process of a fibrous preform for a composite material includes creating a fibrous texture by three-dimensional or multilayer weaving between a plurality of weft layers and warp layers, the fibrous texture including an extra-thick portion having a sacrificial portion and a useful portion adjacent to the sacrificial portion in the warp direction, the sacrificial portion, placing the fibrous texture in a forming toolset, shaping the fibrous texture so as to obtain a fibrous preform having a sacrificial portion and an adjacent useful portion, removing the sacrificial portion from the fibrous preform. When weaving the fibrous blank, one or more expansion elements are inserted into the weft layers located at the core of the sacrificial portion of the fibrous texture. Each expansion element has a cross-section greater than the cross-section or count of the weft threads or strands present in the useful portion.

Sediment-control fences designed to withstand hydrostatic forces associated with elevated backwater against the fence are disclosed. The fences are made of anisotropic fabric having different mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness in the machine direction versus the transverse direction. The anisotropic fabric may include fibrillated yarns in one direction and monofilaments in another direction. The sediment-control fences may be used without the necessity of wire or chain-link backed supports that are conventionally used to resist structural failure due to hydraulic overtopping of the fences.

A composite low-twist towel that is formed of three parts: terry yarn, ground warp yarn and weft yarn. The ground warp yarn and the weft yarn are normal towel yarns and the terry yarn is a composite low-twist yarn. The composite low-twist yarn is composed of two yarns of different thickness, among them, the spun yarn is synthetic fiber spun yarn or filament yarn, and the thick yarn is the pure cotton yarn or the blended yarn of pure cotton and other fibers. The composite low-twist yarn is made into a warp beam through warping and sizing. Then, it interweaves with ground warp yarns and weft yarns through a towel loom or warp loom to form terry fabrics.

Provided are a hydrophilic fabric and a manufacturing method thereof. The hydrophilic fabric has a structure in which warp yarns and weft yarns are interwoven with each other, wherein at least one of the warp yarns and the weft yarns includes carbon nanotube fibers, the carbon nanotube fibers contain N-doped carbon nanotubes, the nitrogen content in each of the N-doped carbon nanotubes is between 1 at. % and 10 at. %, and the content of the N-doped carbon nanotubes in the hydrophilic fabric is at least 1 wt. % based on the total weight of the hydrophilic fabric.

A fastener tape includes a mounting part for mounting a fastener element and a sewing part for sewing a fabric. The mutually adjoining sides of the mounting part and sewing part are integrally connected to each other. Another side of the mounting part which is spaced distantly from the sewing part provides a fastener element mounting side for mounting the fastener element. The sewing part is constituted of a plain weave texture.

The invention relates to a fabric (10), in particular for use as a privacy and/or anti-glare protection, which is based on a lattice fabric framework produced by means of a leno loom, wherein the fabric (10) has, preferably alternately, shading sections (20) and translucent sections (30), wherein the fabric (10) has, in at least one translucent section (30) first weft threads (31) which are associated with the translucent section (30) and are arranged parallel to one another at a lattice spacing, and a number of standing threads (34) extending at right angles to the first weft threads (31), and a number of leno threads (39), which interlink the first weft threads (31) and the standing threads (35) in the manner of a leno fabric, wherein the fabric (10) has, in at least one shading section (20), a number of standing threads (35) and a number of leno threads (39), wherein the leno threads (39) in the shading section (20) run substantially parallel to the standing threads (35) and are predominantly not interlinked with the standing threads (35), and second weft threads (22), which are associated with the shading section (20) and consist of a different material from the first weft threads (31).

An anti-slip yoga rug comprising a fabric weave including a weft and a warp. The anti-slip yoga rug also comprising a topside grip, the topside grip including an anti-slip ridge woven into the fabric weave, and a bottom-side grip. The anti-slip yoga rug further including an edger that circumferentially surrounds one or more edges of the anti-slip yoga rug and wherein the bottom-side grip mechanically connects to an underside of the edger.

A woven textile includes, in at least one of the warp or weft directions, non-flocked yarns and flocked yarns. The flocked yarns include a support yarn having a core covered with an adhesive layer. The support yarn has a base diameter. Protruding filaments provide the flocked yarns with an apparent diameter. The non-flocked yarns have a diameter which is smaller than the apparent diameter and larger than the base diameter of the flocked yarns.
