An impact resistant exterior sheathing gypsum building panel with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh which protects against impact from projectiles such as those conveyed by hurricane force winds is provided. Methods for manufacturing these exterior sheathing gypsum building panels with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious building panel is provided.

An article of apparel includes a composite material. The composite material includes a pliable first layer and a resilient second layer, where the first and second layers are secured to each other via a patterned strand network. In forming the composite material, the second layer is stretched and maintained under tension while the first layer is secured to the second layer via the patterned strand network. The tension on the second layer is then released, resulting in contraction of the second layer in relation to the first layer and an outward buckling or protrusion of the first layer in relation to the second layer to form protruding cells along the composite material that are bounded by portions of the patterned strand network. The patterned strand network can be formed using embroidery with one or more auxetic patterns in the stitching.

A wet friction material includes a base including a matrix of fibers and filler particles embedded in the matrix of fibers; a binder embedded in an interior of the base; and a quaternary ammonium salt containing coating on an outer surface of the base. The quaternary ammonium salt containing coating can include a quaternary ammonium salt and a solution binder.

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional string woven air cushion and a method of manufacturing the same, the three-dimensional string woven air cushion including a lower sheet layer made by interlacing a plurality of weft yarns and a plurality of warp yarns and configured to define a predetermined thickness layer and a bottom surface, an upper sheet layer made by interlacing a plurality of weft yarns and a plurality of warp yarns and configured to define a predetermined thickness layer and a top surface, the upper sheet layer being disposed above the lower sheet layer, provided in parallel with the lower sheet layer, and spaced apart from the lower sheet layer at a predetermined distance, and an interval maintaining yarn layer made by interlacing interval maintaining yarns connected to at least one of the weft yarn and the warp yarn of each of the lower and upper sheet layers, the interval maintaining yarns being continuously interlaced and connected in a zigzag manner in a direction from one side to the other side, thereby providing an advantage that greatly improve a user’s sleeping convenience.

A fibre-reinforced polymer composite comprising fibres bound within a solid polymer matrix, wherein at least some of the fibres are in contact with graphene, and wherein the composite changes electrical resistance when deformed.

A roofing system including a cap shingle and a method of producing a cap shingle are disclosed. In one embodiment, the cap shingle is formed with a continuous or discontinuous self-sealing adhesive that is applied along a ridgeline direction and can provide high wind resistance, without the use of hand-sealed adhesive application. In an embodiment of the method, one or more layers of a shingle material can be oriented in a machine direction with the self-sealing adhesive applied adjacent side edges of the shingle material to form the cap shingles having self-seal strips and configured to bend in the machine direction for installation of the cap shingles along a ridge of a roof.

A flexible heat barrier is configured to absorb and deflect heat energy and utilizes a multilayer construction wherein each layer provides a specific purpose. An outer layer configured for exposure to a heat flux includes a coating having an intumescent component and an opacifier component. An inner layer includes a foil that may include a high emittance coating to more effectively reflect radiation. A middle layer includes an insulating fabric layer that may include oriented fibers that can effectively polarize radiation and may include a plurality of layers of oriented fibers that are configured at an offset angle to deflect and reduce radiation transmission through the middle layer. A flexible heat barrier may also include a flexible gas barrier that includes a phase change material, such as frits that melt at a predetermined temperature and flow into gaps to reduce the permeability and further block heat flux.
