A method for producing a woven fabric comprises weaving fibers in a warp direction and a weft direction to form a fabric having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the warp fibers and weft fibers each comprises one or more filaments of a synthetic polymer having substantially uniform cross-sectional composition. At least a portion of the filaments in the fibers on the top and/or bottom surface of the fabric are then fused together in the presence of a heat transfer liquid or vapor added during the fusing step or added in a prior step of the fabric production process and retained by the filaments. The fusing step produces a treated fabric having a tensile strength in both the warp and weft directions of 1000 N or greater and having, in the absence of any coating, a static air permeability (SAP) of 3 l/dm.sup.2/min or lower.

The disclosure relates in particular to a method of cutting one or more draping elements in a strip of material comprising a fabric layer comprising a film on at least one face. Each draping element is delimited along a determined outline comprising at least one angle, each draping element being cut by means of a cutting blade. At each angle of the outline, the fabric layer and each one film are cut along a curve so as to obtain one or more draping elements without overcutting.

A molded automotive textile nonwoven and its associated method of manufacturing includes flat staple fibers exhibiting a width to thickness ratio of 2 to 10 and a denier in the range of 2 to 30. The molded automotive textile non-woven is a three-dimensional (3D) structure that includes one or a plurality of protrusions or recesses which fits to the metallic vehicle floor pan of the vehicle.

A member for chassis is provided. The member for chassis includes a frame part that is made of a thermoplastic resin bonded to at least a part of an external-form end face of a laminated sheet with an intermediate layer arranged between a pair of fiber reinforced resin sheets. The thermoplastic resin that configures the frame part is extended to a surface of the laminated sheet. An opening is provided on the surface of the laminated sheet that has been covered with the extended thermoplastic resin, and the member for chassis includes an anchor part formed by putting the thermoplastic resin into the opening.

A method for producing a fiber preform or semi-finished textile product comprises providing a fiber preform or semi-finished textile product comprising at least one thermoplastic fiber. The thermoplastic fiber has a core constructed of a first material, a shell constructed of a second material positioned to surround the core, and magnetic particles that are one of mainly arranged in the shell, almost exclusively arranged in the shell, and exclusively arranged in the shell. Continually adding the fiber preform or semi-finished textile product with simultaneous heating thereof in continuous passing through or passing by a magnetic induction heating device or the same by way of a relative movement. Fixing the fiber preform or semi-finished textile product by allowing the fiber preform or semi-finished textile product to rigidify.

High tenacity, high elongation multi-filament polymeric tapes as well as ballistic resistant fabrics, composites and articles made therefrom. The tapes are fabricated from multi-filament fibers/yarns that are twisted together, bonded together, compressed and flattened.
