The present disclosure is directed to dielectric elastomeric composites that include a retainable processing membrane, an elastomer material, and an electrically conductive material. The elastomer layer may be partially imbibed into the retainable processing membrane. The retainable processing membrane may be porous. The retainable processing membrane is compacted in the transverse direction, machine direction, or in both directions prior to the application of an elastomer material and an electrically conductive material. The compaction of the retainable processing membrane may form structured folds or folded fibrils in the membrane, giving the retainable processing membrane a low modulus and flexibility. In some embodiments, the dielectric composites are positioned in a stacked configuration. Alternatively, the dielectric elastomeric composites may have a wound configuration. The dielectric composites have a total thickness less than about 170 .Math.m. The dielectric elastomeric composites may be used, for example, in dielectric elastomer actuators, sensors, and in energy harvesting.

A toothed power transmission belt suitable for use in contact with oil, having an elastomeric belt body, a helical wound tensile member embedded therein, and teeth on a pulley-contact surface with a jacket covering the teeth, wherein the jacket is a woven fabric with a smooth, continuous, outer rubber layer formed from a nitrile-containing elastomer compounded with at least one coagent, an RFS adhesion promoter, and with no fluoropolymer, and the fabric has para-aramid fibers in the weft, meta-aramid fibers in the warp, and no nylon fibers.

A horseshoe having a front end and a back end includes a base plate having a first stiffness, an intermediate layer having a second stiffness, the second stiffness being less than the first stiffness, the intermediate plate being disposed adjacent the base plate, a top plate disposed adjacent the intermediate layer and a heel wedge capable of articulating relative to the base plate.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a composite shingle. The composite shingle includes a particle layer and a polyketone layer proximate to the particle layer.

A household appliance includes a receiving region and an insulation element attached to the receiving region for acoustic and/or thermal insulation of the receiving region. The insulation element is manufactured from a viscoelastic polyurethane foam and pressed against the receiving region in such a manner that the insulation element is sealed off in relation to the receiving region in a fluid-tight manner.

Panel for a floor or wall comprising a first board (2), a second board (3) and an intermediate third board (4) fitted between the first and second boards (2, 3), the intermediate third board (4) comprising a thermal insulating material, the first and second boards (2, 3) comprising a material that is able to harden in which organic elements of vegetal origin (5) are sunk.

A flexible flat cable (FFC) includes a first insulation layer, at least one pair of conductors, a plurality of low-k dielectric layers, two second insulation layers, and at least one shielding layer. The pair of conductors is located within the first insulation layer. Each pair of conductors includes a plurality of first conductors, and the first conductors are axially extending and arranged in parallel. The low-k dielectric layers are embedded in the first insulation layer. Each of the pair of conductors or each of the first conductors is covered and surrounded with one low-k dielectric layer. The two second insulation layers are located on two surfaces of the first insulation layer. The shielding layer is located on the two second insulation layers opposite to the first insulation layer.

The present disclosure provides a humidity controlling material with a high humidity controlling rate. The humidity controlling material includes a resin material and a humidity controlling liquid. The resin material contains a resin. The humidity controlling liquid impregnates the resin. The humidity controlling liquid absorbs or discharges moisture.

The description relates to solvent free films and textiles that receive the solvent free films.

A fluid-filled chamber is provided and includes a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, a foam structure, and a tensile member. The second barrier layer is secured to the first barrier layer to define an interior void between the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer.
