A chemical barrier fabric and a method of manufacturing the fabric is provided. The chemical barrier fabric includes at least first and second chemical barrier layers which have an interfacial region therebetween and which are intermittently point bonded providing a point-bonded area which is in the minority and an un-bonded area which is in the majority in the interfacial region. The chemical barrier layers typically comprise single layer polymer films and/or co-extruded layers. A non-woven layer may also be point-bonded to either the first or the second chemical barrier layer to give support to the fabric.

Provided is a method of producing a layered article by which a sufficient production speed can be achieved, and preferably, a variation in fusion strength can be suppressed and hence a variation in product quality can be reduced. The method of producing a layered article of the present invention includes fusing at least part of a single-layer body or a laminate including at least one layer including a non-woven fabric of fiber having a fiber diameter of 100 m or less through ultrasonic welding.

The present invention is a roll as may function as an anvil roll that comprises protrusions on its outer surface, that are outwardly or z-directionally oriented arcs of an arc wire such as wavy wire or an axially canted helical coil extending along a length or x-direction, which are pinched perpendicularly to the z- and x-direction. Such anvil rolls may be used to treat materials such as web materials, such as by embossing or bonding these web materials. In a particular application, such rolls may interact with an ultrasonic sonotrode.

A system and method for producing a disposable undergarment, with the lateral edges of the undergarment bonded by means of an ultrasonic horn. When a blank is formed for an individual undergarment, the lateral edges of opposing edges of the blank will form the seam. When the edges are sealed together, a seam is formed. The individual undergarments may be later separated along the seams.

Provided is a composite membrane for western blot, in which the composite membrane is prepared by combining nanofiber webs with nonwoven fabrics, and a basis weight of the nanofibers is in a range of 1 gsm to 50 gsm on the nonwoven fabrics, and an average pore size is in a range of 0.1 ?m to 1.0 ?m. The composite membrane for western blot including nanofibers has advantages such as saving of a production cost, and an excellent response characteristic due to a capillary phenomenon of a double structure, to thereby easily detect even a small amount of a particular substance present in a protein.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.
