An anti-cutting rubber-coated yarn includes a yarn body and a mixed rubber layer coated on the yarn body. A plurality of tiny pits is distributed on a surface of the yarn body, and the mixed rubber layer is attached in the tiny pits and is coated on an outside of the yarn body. According to the present invention, numerous tiny pits are made by etching on the surface of the existing yarn body, and simultaneously, molecular bonds on the surface of the yarn body are broken. In a dipping process, molecular bonding occurs between the rubber and the yarn body while the tiny pits are filled with the rubber and the tiny hard particles, thereby further enhancing adsorption fastness of the mixed rubber layer.

A strand production apparatus configured to produce a fiber reinforced resin strand having one or a plurality of fiber bundles including reinforcing fibers includes a twisting unit, a resin bath unit, and a winding unit. The twisting unit rotates the one or the plurality of fiber bundles around an axis of the one or the plurality of fiber bundles to form one or a plurality of twisted fiber bundles. In the resin bath unit, the one or the plurality of twisted fiber bundles are impregnated with a molten resin to form a fiber reinforced resin strand. The winding unit winds the fiber reinforced resin strand. The twisting unit is disposed on an upstream side of the resin bath unit in a conveying direction of the one or the plurality of fiber bundles.

Proposed is a method of manufacturing a fabric wallpaper, while a bonding force of an adhesive agent attached to one side of fabric wallpaper is enhanced, and flame retarding is given to a wrap and a weft for weaving fabric at the same time. Accordingly, safety is guaranteed against the fire without additional anti-flaming treatment. Also when constructing the fabric wallpaper, general unskilled consumers may easily and conveniently perform construction. Fabric is woven by a warp and a weft of synthetic fibrous yarn in which a flame retardant resin layer is formed on the outer surface of the core. One side of the fabric is heated and pressed to form a smooth surface in which part of the resin layer is melted and extended. An adhesive agent is attached to the smooth surface, and release paper is attached to the outer surface of the adhesive agent.

The purpose of the present application is to provide a fiber composite for reinforcing concrete, the fiber composite providing a specific number of twists so as to have pull-out resistance in concrete, being capable of serving as a concrete reinforcement since hydrophilic compound, which can bind to concrete by hydrogen bonding, is coated on concrete and the fiber composite, maintaining the shape of fibers when mixed into concrete, reducing a rebound rate during shotcrete placing, and maintaining linearity within concrete.

A 3D-printer modeling material includes for instance, a resin and a wire rod including a carbon nanotube yarn. The resin is a thermoplastic resin.

A stable conductive myocardial patch with a negative Poisson's ratio structure is provided. The preparation method includes preparing a myocardial patch substrate with concave polygons as the structural units by weaving or knitting, and then a conductive coating is coated on the surface of the substrate. Alternatively, the yarns can be processed into conductive coated yarns first, and then used as the raw material to weave or knit a stable conductive myocardial patch with a negative Poisson's ratio structure. The prepared myocardial patch has a relative resistance change of less than 5% at 50% tensile strain. When the strain of the structural units is within 50%, the fabric exhibits a negative Poisson's ratio structure, which expands in the perpendicular direction of the tensile load. The fabric exhibits a negative Poisson's ratio effect and anisotropy of Young's modulus, which matches the mechanical behavior of natural myocardium.
