The invention addresses the problem of providing a water-repellent cloth that is excellent in water repellency as well as stretchability and also a textile product using the water-repellent cloth. A means for resolution is a water-repellent cloth given water repellent processing, and the cloth is configured to include a composite yarn containing a stretch fiber and an ultrafine fiber having a single fiber fineness of 1 dtex or less.

In accordance with one embodiment, a polymer composite comprises a filler and a matrix. The filler comprises an electrospun polymer mat. The matrix comprises a polymer film. The filler is arranged to respond to stimuli by altering its mechanical properties. In one example, the mat can be electrospun from poly(vinyl alcohol), and the matrix can be formed from ethylene oxide-epichlorohydrin 1:1 copolymer. The filler can be arranged so that the tensile storage modulus of the polymer composite changes in response to the filler being exposed to a stimulus. In another example, the filler is about four percent by weight of the polymer composite.

This provides a system and method for constructing and employing a wire carrier for use in reinforcing the attachment channel of weather seals that includes an expansion and compression resisting element located along at least one bending axis of the carrier when it is folded and molded into the attachment channel of the weather seal. The resisting element can be combined with warp yarns that allow limited expansion and compression along other axes, but in combination with the element prevent collapse of the seal that results in and uneven surface and/or visible kinks. The resisting element can comprise at least one undulating (sinusoidal) wire that is attached (e.g. by welding, soldering, etc.) to the individual crossing carrier wires. Alternatively, the resisting element can comprise another type of structure, such as a thin metal or polymer strip. Likewise, the undulating wire(s) can be constructed from a polymer.

A metal fabric (10) has a sheet form, using metal threads for warp (30) as the warp, and metal threads for weft (20) as the weft, wherein each of the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) has an average diameter of 0.03 mm or larger and 0.09 mm or smaller, the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) may be plain-woven, and the metal fabric (10) may be shaped in a square with a side of 100 mm or longer and 200 mm or shorter.

A sizing composition for glass fiber direct roving for producing multiaxial fabrics is provided. The sizing composition includes, based on the total solids mass of the composition, 0.1 to 5.0% by solid mass of a first silane coupling agent, 2.5 to 11.0% by solid mass of a second silane coupling agent, 3.0 to 20.0% by solid mass of a first film former, 45.0 to 75.0% by solid mass of a second film former, 0 to 5.0% by solid mass of a plasticizer, 0.2 to 4.0% by solid mass of a first lubricant, 5.0 to 20.0% by solid mass of a second lubricant, and 0.01 to 3.0% by solid mass of a pH regulator. The first film former is a multifunctional epoxy emulsion, and the second film former is a low-molecular-weight liquid epoxy emulsion.

A warp knitted fabric formed of yarns fed from at least three guide bars including front, middle, and back guide bars, in which a back yarn fed from the back guide bar forms a cord knit texture, a front yarn fed from the front guide bar and a middle yarn fed from the middle guide bar are arranged alternately in a weft direction, each of the front yarn and the middle yarn forms a stitch formation texture (a denbigh knit texture or a cord knit texture) and an insertion texture alternately in a warp direction, and the insertion texture formed by the front yarn and the insertion texture formed by the middle yarn are arranged alternately at least in the warp direction so that the front yarn and the middle yarn are exposed alternately at least in the warp direction on sinker loops of the back yarn.

A knitted textile (2) having a first layer (4) including a first yarn (12) with a thermoplastic composition integrally formed with a second layer (6) including a second yarn (14), the first yarn (12) forming an array of knitted patterns (16) defining voids (8) through the first layer (4) to the second layer (6). The first layer (4) may be heat treated to form a film. (24). Treatment of the first layer (4) may change zonal and directional tensile properties of the knitted textile (2). The Poisson's ratio of the knitted textile (2) may be greater than or equal to zero in a first axis (32) and/or a second axis (30), before and/or after treatment. Articles of apparel, including articles of footwear (26) and garments incorporating the knitted textile (2), and methods of forming the knitted textiles (2) and articles are disclosed.

A respiratory mask includes a mask fabric body made of a woven fabric having weft yarns and warp yarns, said fabric yarns comprising at least one yarn selected from yarns of a plastically bendable material and elastic yarns or threads.

The present disclosure relates to a polyethylene fiber and a method for preparing thereof, and more particularly to a polyethylene fiber, a method for preparing thereof, and an apparatus for preparing thereof, which has excellent wearing and touch sensation with processing convenience into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics in use in applied products by reducing the stiffness of fiber having the same physical properties using an enforced necking method in a spinning process.
