A multi-layer liner material for use as a thermal and acoustical insulator which is lightweight, breathable, hydrophobic, oleophobic and fire-resistant. A central insulation core layer is contacted on a first surface by a first highly breathable layer and on a second surface by a second highly breathable layer, such that these three layers are resistant to water or oil penetrating the insulation core layer causing the liner to gain weight. The first and second highly breathable layers are preferably made from inherently flame resistant fibers and treated with a fluorocarbon surface treatment for water repellency, UV resistance and mold/mildew resistance. The first highly breathable layer is adjacent a facing layer while the second highly breathable layer is adjacent a backing layer. At least one surface of one of the first or second highly breathable layers, or facing or backing layers may include a carbon printing pattern to provide ESD protection.

A composite sandwich structure that includes a top layer; a bottom layer; and a plurality of units sandwiched between the top layer and the bottom layer. Each of the plurality of units has a core made of hard foam and a reinforcement fiber wrap wrapped around the core and secured to the core using a double adhesive tape. The top layer, the bottom layer, and the plurality of units are laminated together using resin.

The invention relates to a PTFE polymer-based sliding material having fillers which improve the tribological properties, wherein the fillers comprise at least one phosphate, in particular calcium phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, magnesium phosphate, magnesium pyrophosphate, lithium phosphate, hydroxyapatite or combinations thereof, and at least one metal sulfide, wherein the fraction of the metal sulfide is >2% by volume. The invention also relates to uses of said sliding material.

A laterally-coiled adhesively-retained low force backer for installation prior to application of a liquid sealant with sufficient surface adhesion to remain in place for such application and curing.

A method for nano-depth surface activation of a PTFE-based membrane and relates to the technical field of polymer composites is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: covering a functional surface of a PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane, performing surface activation treatment on a single surface of the membrane to which a bonding adhesive is applied, and migrating and complexing a high-toughness cold bonding adhesive tape on the membrane surface, with an activated structure layer, of the PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane through a mechanical adhesive applying device to form an adhesive-membrane complex. An extremely strong affinity and a high-strength bonding performance are generated between the membrane and the adhesive, and the adhesive-membrane complex is formed. Integration of membrane/adhesive bonding complexing, membrane/membrane bonding complexing and membrane/adhesive layer bonding is realized.

An article of manufacture, such as a weighted blanket, a cushioning element, or the like, includes an elastomeric element that includes elongated elements that follow nonlinear, partially overlapping paths and voids between adjacent portions of the elongated elements. Such an elastomeric element may define a weighted layer of a weighted blanket, a cushioning layer of a cushioning element of the like. The elastomeric element may be secured directly to a substrate, such as a fabric layer. Alternatively, an adhesion layer may secure the elastomeric element to the substrate. An adhesion layer may cover only a portion of the substrate. A cover may be provided over the elastomeric element. Together, the cover and the substrate may contain the elastomeric element.
