A nonwoven web for use in an absorbent article is described. The nonwoven web has first and second nonwoven layers. The first nonwoven layer has a first plurality of fibers, an additive disposed, at least in part, on a portion of the first plurality of fibers, a first side and an opposing second side, wherein second side has a plurality of discontinuities. The second nonwoven layer has a second plurality of fibers, a first surface and an opposing second surface, and a plurality of tufts extending through at least a portion of the discontinuities in the first nonwoven layer, wherein the second nonwoven layer is attached to the first nonwoven layer such that at least a portion of the second plurality of fibers are in liquid communication with the first nonwoven layer, wherein the first nonwoven layer is hydrophobic and the second nonwoven layer is hydrophilic.

Described are moisture responsive materials. The materials may have tunable moisture permeability. A material may be a substrate that includes apertures. The apertures are configured to open or close depending on the humidity environment to which the substrate is exposed. The apertures have at least two regions of polymer gel, which may have different amounts of crosslinking. The apertures may be formed from at least two polymer gels having at least two different crosslinker loadings. The materials may be used in articles of manufacture. For example, the materials are used in wearable articles, outdoor articles, medical articles, packaging articles, building articles, filtration/separation articles, and the like.

A yarn or thread may include a plurality of substantially aligned filaments, with at least ninety-five percent of a material of the filaments being a thermoplastic polymer material. Various woven textiles and knitted textiles may be formed from the yarn or thread. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be thermal bonded to other elements to form seams. A strand that is at least partially formed from a thermoplastic polymer material may extend through the seam, and the strand may be thermal bonded at the seam. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be shaped or molded, incorporated into products, and recycled to form other products.

A multilayer film, which is used upon being adhered to a fabric, includes an adhesive layer to be a side of the multilayer film to be adhered to the fabric, the adhesive layer including a thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a polymer having a Shore D hardness of less than 80; and a barrier layer bonded to the adhesive layer, the barrier layer including a thermoplastic elastomer.

One aspect relates to a composite including a ceramic body, including a ceramic, a first surface, and a hole, including a front face, an end face and a lateral surface. The front face is an opening in the first surface. The ceramic body further includes a second surface and conductor a1. The conductor a1 electrically connects the second surface to the lateral surface, and includes a cermet.

A functional fabric is formed by bonding a polyester synthetic resin film mixed with carbon black fine particles to a fabric, in which the synthetic resin film is non-porous and has a thickness of 10 m to 20 m. The functional fabric is produced by producing a polyester synthetic resin film mixed with carbon black fine particles and bonding the synthetic resin film to a fabric, and the produced functional fabric is entirely or partially bonded to an inner wear or an intermediate clothes to produce clothing.

The darkening screen comprises two fabrics, namely a first fabric (10) which comprises in machining direction first strips of film material and first threads (2) in between the first strips, and a second fabric (11) which comprises in machining direction second strips of film material and second threads (6) in between the second strips. The first (2) and the second threads (6) of the first (10) and the second fabric (11) have water transporting capacity. In order to obtain improved moisture transporting properties whilst maintaining a low hemispherical light transmission the first threads (2) are aligned with said second threads (6) and are situated, in a direction perpendicular to said first (10) and second fabric (11), opposite to said second threads (6) to form pairs of first and second threads. In a number of these pairs the first thread (2) is connected at different locations by cross-connections (16) to the second thread (6), more particularly by means of a first yarn (4) of the first fabric which extends in the cross-machining direction, to thereby fix the first fabric (10) to the second fabric (11). The cross-connections (16) preferably hold the first threads (2) at least at the location of the cross-connections (16) against the second threads (6).

The various embodiments herein provide an insulated container. The container comprises a body assembly and a lid assembly. The body assembly comprises of an outer plastic body and a plastic ring insert molded with an inner stainless steel (SS) container. The inner SS container has a non-woven polyester fabric acting as an insulation material. The non-woven polyester fabric is enclosed in between the outer plastic body and the inner SS container. The lid assembly comprises of a plastic top lid, an inner lid and a bowl with non-woven polyester fabric acting as insulation. The polyester fabric is sandwiched between the plastic top lid, the inner lid and the bowl. In the body assembly, the outer plastic body and the inner plastic ring is joined together using a spin welding technique. In the lid assembly the top lid, inner lid and bowl are joined together using spin welding technique.
