A variety of plates for footwear are provided including a polyolefin resin. Sole structures and articles of footwear formed therefrom are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier. The effective amount can be an amount effective to allow the resin composition to pass a flex test, and in particular to pass a flex test without significant change in abrasion loss. In some aspects, the resin composition also includes a clarifying agent to improve optical clarity of the plate. In some aspects, the plates include a textile disposed on one or both of a first side and the second side of the plate. The textile can provide for improved bonding of the plate to other components such as a chassis or an upper.

An internally emulsified polyurethane dispersion, which is prepared by using a combined chain extender system of a hydrophilic amino siloxane compound and a polyetheramine compound, is provided. The internally emulsified polyurethane dispersion can be used to prepare a synthetic leather product having good anti-stickiness, wrinkle resistance, color fastness and superior mechanical properties. A laminated synthetic leather article prepared with said internally emulsified polyurethane dispersion as well a method for preparing the synthetic leather article are also provided.

A multi-threat protection composite containing at least 15 textile layers having an upper and lower surface and a non-blocking pressure sensitive adhesive (NonB-PSA) composition on at least the upper surface of each textile layer. The NonB-PSA coating contains a pressure sensitive adhesive and a plurality of first inorganic particles, wherein the ratio by weight of the first inorganic particles to the pressure sensitive adhesive is greater than about 1.2 and wherein the NonB-PSA coating is in an amount of at least about 10 g/m.sup.2 on each surface the NonB-PSA coating is located. The first inorganic particles have a median primary particle size of less than about 5 micrometers.

A multifunctional high-strength composite fabric coating agent, a coating, a method for preparing the same and an application thereof are provided. The fabric coating agent includes a resin, a reinforcing agent with a reactive group, a bifunctional dispersing agent, a leveling agent, a film forming agent, a softening agent, an antibacterial agent, a solvent, and the like. The reinforcing agent is modified such that it has active functional groups of OH and NH.sub.3. The fabric coating agent is not only easy to apply, fast to react and stabilize, but also suitable for a fabric surface of any material. A treated fabric has high tensile-breaking strength, excellent tearing and bursting performance, good waterproof-and-moisture-permeability and antibacterial performance, and high adhesion. It can be repeatedly knife coated, roll coated, calendared, or dipped. The method is not only mature in technology and low in production cost, but also suitable for large-scale application.

Provided is a composite thermal insulation sheet including an aerogel and a method for manufacturing method the same. The methods yield an ultra-thin aerogel composite sheet having characteristics of low dust, high strength and high thermal insulation, thereby having an increased applicability thereof to an electronic device.

The present invention relates to an aqueous paste composition for textile coating, comprising: 1-60 parts by weight of at least one material having tensile modulus of at least 2000 MPa, 1-24 parts by weight of at least one antistatic agent, 16-60 parts by weight of at least one binder, and 50-200 parts by weight of water. The invention also relates to a process for producing a coated fabric, to a coated fabric as obtainable trough said process, and to a garment comprising it.

A primary backing having a component having a front surface and a rear surface, a second component having a front surface and a rear surface placed adjacent and plane-parallel to the first component, and an optional third component having a front surface and a rear surface placed adjacent and plane-parallel to the second component, wherein the first component comprises a two-dimensional material layer, an extruded sheet, and a non-woven fabric and/or a woven fabric. The second component comprises a three-dimensional structure, wherein the three-dimensional structure is build-up from macroscopic thermoplastic fibers, the fibers cross one another at crossing points and are thermally bonded to one another at their crossing points, and the third component comprises a further two-dimensional material layer, wherein the material layer comprises an extruded sheet, a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric and/or a two-dimensional layer of macroscopic fibers.

Textile fabrics consolidated with a binder that is made from a binder system are described. The binder system may include:

a) 30% or less by dry weight of at least one polymer based on polyvinyl alcohol;

b) 70% or more by dry weight of at least one starch, wherein the at least one starch comprises 50% by weight or more of one or more natural starches based on the total weight of the at least one starch;

c) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one crosslinker;

d) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one filler; and

e) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one additive,

wherein a sum of components a) through e) is 100% by dry weight of the binder system. Method of making the textile fabrics consolidated with binders made from the binder systems are also described.

Disclosed is a flexible material including a web of fibers chosen in the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers and aramid fibers, this web of fibers being impregnated on a so-called external face with an impregnation layer produced from a polymer binder and containing at least one plasticizing agent or a mixture of plasticizing agents. A fibrous textile substrate is superimposed on the web of fibers on an internal face of the web opposite the external face.
