A textile fabric having increased improved surface properties, variously including surface stability, abrasion resistance, resistance to edge fraying, moisture control, and resistance to fluid penetration is created by introducing a plurality of particles including low-melting particles onto a top surface of the textile fabric. The top surface includes elevated areas, depressed areas, a plurality of surface fibers and gaps among the plurality the plurality of surface fibers. A desired pattern of particle deposition and depth of penetration from the top surface of the plurality of particles into the gaps is established, and heat is applied to the top surface to melt the low-melting particles deposited onto the surface.

A printing process is used to print a pattern of hot melt adhesive onto a release paper. The adhesive pattern can be transferred from the release paper and used to bond two substrates together. The adhesive pattern preferably includes a repeating pattern of discrete features, with each feature having a minimum dimension in a range up to about 5 to 10 mm.

Disclosed is a fiber laminated structure that has a waterproof breathable function, has stable waterproofness even when being stretched, has high peel strength, and is superior in durability. Some instances provide a water-repellent fiber laminated structure in which a nonwoven fabric web with a bulkiness of 1.5 to 2.5 cm3/g and a thickness of 20 to 60 ?m including a fiber made of a polyurethane-based polymer having a fiber diameter of less than 1 ?m is present on one side of a woven cloth having stretchability at least in either a warp direction or a weft direction with an adhesive agent A interposed therebetween.

A fabric containing carbon fibers impregnated with a silicone, polyurethane or acrylic emulsion which is then dried together with the fabric is disclosed. A protective layer containing a film, a woven or non-woven fabric is applied onto one side of the fabric.
