Aspects of the disclosure relate to synthetic tissue or organ scaffolds and methods and compositions for promoting or maintaining their structural integrity. Aspects of the disclosure are useful to prevent scaffold damage (e.g., delamination) during or after implantation into a host. Aspects of the disclosure are useful to stabilize tissue or organ scaffolds that include electrospun fibers.

A melt blowing system for the manufacturing of pleatable/moldable nonwoven fabrics includes a collector positioned to receive a plurality of fibers, a first die in fluid communication with a first liquid polymer supply having a melt flow index of about 500 or lower, and a second die in fluid communication with a second liquid polymer supply having a melt flow index of about 500 or higher. The first die has a concentric air design, includes a plurality of spinneret nozzles facing the collector surface, and is configured to draw a first plurality of fibers. The second die includes a plurality of spinneret nozzles having smaller capillary diameter than those of the first die and is positioned to draw a second plurality of fibers such that the first and second pluralities of fibers form a co-mingled nonwoven web with varying fiber diameters on the collector surface.

A lithium-ion secondary battery separator resolves defects of a non-woven fabric separator which is not suitable for use in such a battery. The separator is thin and does not short-circuit and has excellent electrolyte retainability and rate characteristics. The separator includes a composite of a non-woven fabric having a basis weight of 2 to 20 g/m.sup.2 formed from fibers of a thermoplastic material having an average fiber diameter of 5 to 40 m and ultra-microfibers having an average fiber diameter of 1 m or less in an amount of to 3 times the mass of the non-woven fabric. The composite has a thickness of 10 to 40 m after heat-pressing treatment under conditions that the non-woven fabric has a glossiness (JIS Z 8741) measured at 60 in the range of 3 to 30 and a thickness of 10 to 40.

According to the invention, the light safety shoe (1) has, with reference to a European size 42, a weight lower or equal to 400 grams.

The nonwoven fabric of the present invention is a nonwoven fabric containing: a carbon fiber or carbon fiber precursor (A) each having an average fiber diameter of 10 m or more and 30 m or less, a tensile strength (1) of 40 N/mm.sup.2 or more and 300 N/mm.sup.2 or less, and an elongation percentage of 0% or more and 10% or less; and a fiber (B) having an average fiber diameter of 5 m or more and 30 m or less and a tensile strength (2) of 200 N/mm.sup.2 or more and 600 N/mm.sup.2 or less, provided that the tensile strength (2) is higher than the tensile strength (1), wherein the blend ratio between the carbon fiber or carbon fiber precursor (A) and the fiber (B) ((A):(B)) is 50:50 to 99:1 on mass basis, the carbon fiber or carbon fiber precursor (A) is an activated carbon fiber or an infusibilized fiber, and the fiber (B) is a carbon fiber or a carbon fiber precursor.

An anti-static flash spinning composite non-woven fabric and a preparation method thereof are provided. The preparation method includes the following steps, S1: taking anti-static functional masterbatch and a first polymer as spunbond raw materials, obtaining spunbonded fibre with the spunbond raw materials by a spunbond process, and forming a spunbonded fibre web by aggregating the spunbonded fibre; S2: taking a second polymer as a raw material, obtaining a flash spinning fiber web sheet by a flash spinning process; forming a flash spinning fiber layer by laying the flash spinning fiber web sheet on the spunbonded fibre web to obtain a composite fiber web; S3: performing a cold pressing treatment and a hot rolling treatment on the composite fiber web sequentially, causing the spunbonded fibre web to form a spunbond layer and causing the flash spinning fiber layer to form a flash spinning layer.
