A wall having a fluid impervious coating thereon and further having a monitoring arrangement which provides for monitoring the condition of the wall. The monitoring arrangement mounted on a surface of the wall

Embodiments relate to a frame structure for a device, comprising a frame comprising a receiving opening, a core structure inserted into the receiving opening and a front layer fixed to the frame and covering a front surface of the core structure. The frame structure further comprises a back layer fixed to the frame and covering a back surface of the core structure, wherein the front layer and the back layer sandwich the core structure in such a manner that bending force acting on the core structure is absorbed by the front layer and the back layer.

A cover board and roofing system including a cover board are disclosed. In one embodiment, the cover board includes a core having a first surface and a second surface. The core is configured to overlie a roof substrate. The cover board includes at least one facer attached to the first surface, the second surface, or both the first surface and second surface of the core. The cover board includes a reinforcing layer positioned between the core and the at least one facer. The reinforcing layer may comprise a scrim material. An impact resistance of the cover board may be greater than an impact resistance of an identical cover board without the scrim material.

A reinforcement for increasing the strength and toughness and other properties in both transverse and in-piano directions for a composite material, and methods of manufacture therefor. The reinforcement has a layer of a nanoforest of vertical nanotubes or nanowires and a layer of horizontal nanotubes or nanowires. The reinforcement can be made by rolling a vertical nanoforest to produce a collapsed layer of horizontal nanofubes or nanowires, then growing a vertical nanoforest on the collapsed layer. The reinforcement can be grown directly on fibers which are used to reinforce the composite material, or alternatively Interleaved with layers of those fibers before the composite part is cured. The reinforcement and manufacturing method are compatible with almost any composite material in any shape, including epoxy, polymer, or ceramic matrix composites, or any manufacturing method, including prepreg, wet-layup and matrix film stacking. The present invention reduces scrap, rework, and repair hours for composites manufacturing.

Multilayer fibreglass fabric with stitching comprises various stitching processes. These stitching processes not only create poor-surface finish but also it reduces the mechanical strength and increases cost of process and machinery. Therefore, present disclosure proposes a method for bonding of multilayer fiberglass fabric without stitching which comprises: pre-processing (601) wherein a raw material is selected and assembled according to requirement or final product. Processing (602) wherein processes like pressure rolling and needle punching are carried out. Post-processing (603) wherein the output in winded up, cut and packed in pre-determined sizes and dispatched. In present disclosure various combinations of input material are possible according to customer requirements.

Disclosed is a heat insulator comprising a substrate comprising of a bulk of silica-based inorganic fiber containing a hydroxyl group; a metallic or ceramic infrared mediator held on at least a part of one surface of the substrate; and a silica cured product holding the infrared mediator on/in the substrate. As the infrared mediator, a metal foil or a ceramic particle may be used. This heat insulator exhibits excellent heat insulating performance in a high temperature range of 600° C. or more, and can be molded into a three-dimensional shape which can be directly mounted to a structure.
