A lining fabric (3) for a clothing article (1). The lining fabric (3) is hygroscopic to ensure good wearing comfort, and has sufficient dimensional stability to allow washing in a household laundry machine. The lining fabric (3) is made from yarns (6) containing or consisting of Lyocell filaments (7). The Lyocell filaments (7) have an average linear density of less than 1.5 dtex, preferably less than 1.4 dtex and even more preferred, less than 1.3 dtex. The washing shrinkage after five washings is preferably less than 4% in each of two perpendicular directions.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthetic fiber which is for use in fabrics having uniform fiber density, permeability and the like, is appropriate for high-density, high-speed weaving, and exhibits excellent weft insertion stability. This synthetic fiber is characterized by having: a fiber density of 200-720 dtex; an average intermediate loading modulus of more than 75 cN/dtex and less than 150 cN/dtex; and a variation coefficient of the intermediate modulus of 5% or less.

A fibrous texture has the shape of a strip extending in a longitudinal direction over a determined length between a proximal portion and a distal portion and in a lateral direction over a determined width between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The fibrous texture has a three-dimensional or multi-layer weaving between a plurality of layers of warp strands extending in the longitudinal direction and a plurality of layers of weft strands extending in the lateral direction, the fibrous texture including first and second longitudinal sections extending over a width from the first or second lateral edge smaller than the determined width of the fibrous texture along the lateral direction. The first and second longitudinal sections each include warp strands and weft strands constituted by carbon fibers. The fibrous texture further includes a third section present between the first and second sections.

A woven fabric comprising spun synthetic polyamide yarn woven in the warp direction and weft direction wherein the polyamide yarn in the woven fabric exhibits a formic acid relative viscosity of at least 60, a halide:copper molar ratio of at least 2.0 and a sodium content of no more than 25 ppm, and wherein the woven fabric exhibits a melt-through resistance at 450° C. of least 2.10 seconds. The invention also provides an airbag made the woven fabric, as well as a method of making the same.

The present application relates to an airbag cushion comprising the reinforcing fabric and a method for preparing the same. According to the present application, adequate levels of tenacity, elongation, dimensional stability, impact resistance and the like required for an airbag cushion and its reinforcing fabric are simultaneously met.

A woven article for a carbon fiber reinforced plastic according to the present invention is a woven article of a spun yarn containing: about 10 wt % to about 60 wt % of a carbon fiber staple in which the content of carbon components is equal to or greater than about 97 wt %; and about 40 wt % to about 90 wt % of a thermoplastic resin fiber, wherein the carbon fiber staple is obtained by carbonizing carbon fiber reinforced plastic scrap at a temperature of about 900 to about 1400° C. The woven article for a carbon fiber reinforced plastic includes a carbon fiber staple manufactured from scrap generated during manufacture of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and allows economic recycling of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic scrap without a reduction in mechanical properties. When molded, productivity is high due to a short cycle time, there is almost no orientation, and an excellent flexural modulus is exhibited.
