The fiber cloth is made of fiber material. The acrylic powder coating includes an acrylic resin, a curing agent, and an additive. The acrylic powder coating is uniformly coated on the fiber cloth. A method of preparing the encapsulant material includes: uniformly coating the acrylic powder coating on the fiber cloth, thermally bonding the acrylic powder coating and the fiber cloth using pressure and heat, and piecewise cutting the thermally bonded acrylic powder coating and the fiber cloth.

A scald-resistant synthetic leather includes a silicone layer and a high-temperature resistant substrate disposed in sequence from top to bottom. A preparing method includes coating and vulcanizating a silicone slurry on the high-temperature resistant substrate, after coating the silicone slurry, sending the high-temperature resistant substrate and the silicone slurry to a drying tunnel for vulcanization to allow attachment of the silicone layer and the high-temperature resistant substrate; after the vulcanization, peeling the silicone layer and the high-temperature resistant substrate apart to obtain the scald-resistant synthetic leather; the number of processes of coating and vulcanizating is more than one, and a thickness for a single coating is 0.02-3 mm; a total thickness for coating is 0.2-0.5 mm. The silicone slurry and the high-temperature resistant substrate used in the disclosure both are environmentally friendly and harmless materials. The high-temperature resistant substrate provides a fundamental framework, and the silicone slurry is the cover.

Some aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to systems for electrochemically generating compounds, for example, for generating hydrogen peroxide or other applications. In some cases, the systems may include electrodes containing a substrate comprising non-woven fibers comprising carbon, PTFE particles on the substrate, and/or an active material, for example, carbon particles, on the substrate and/or the PTFE. In some embodiments, the systems may generate and/or flow a two-phase solution over and/or through at least a portion of an electrode. Some systems using the electrode structures and/or two-phase solution may promote the formation of three-phase boundaries, and thus may facilitate the electrocatalytic generation of certain compounds at the three-phase boundaries. Still other aspects are directed to methods of making and/or using the systems, or the like.

A number of variations may include a product including a composite panel comprising a substrate comprising a fiber weave, and a first layer overlying the substrate comprising silicone wherein the composite panel is constructed and arranged to resist ultraviolet radiation.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a gas diffusion layer, wherein nonwovens made of carbon fibers or carbon fiber precursors are subjected to entanglement with water-containing fluid jets of a certain water quality.
