A layered composite includes an insulation sheet and at least one scrim layer secured thereto. The at least one scrim layer may be embedded within the thickness of the insulation sheet, or bonded to a corresponding face of the insulation sheet, and have a tensile strength greater than that of the insulation sheet. As such, the scrim layer provides structural support to the insulation sheet as well as a trap for fibers or particles that may separate from the insulation sheet.

Provided are cementitious panel that include a swellable material within a core layer, a dense layer, and/or a sheet of facing material that make up a cementitious panel, as well as methods of manufacturing such cementitious panels that include a swellable material and methods of providing a moisture or water barrier in a cementitious panel.

Embodiments of the present invention may encompass gateline paddles that include a paddle body having a composite material forming an outer surface of the paddle body. The composite material may have a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface that define an open interior therebetween. The composite material may include a fiber-reinforced resin. The paddle body may include a cellular reinforcement member disposed within the open interior. The paddle body may include a mounting region formed along a lateral edge of the paddle body. The paddle body may include a mounting block disposed within a portion of the open interior disposed within the mounting region.

Described herein is a building panel comprising a body comprising a first fibrous material comprising inorganic fiber, a non-woven scrim coupled to the body; and wherein the non-woven scrim has a thickness ranging from about 8 mils to about 20 mils.

Various aspect of the present disclosure relate to a sealed storage tank. The sealed storage tank includes a first film at least partially defining a first internal chamber of the sealed storage tank. The first film includes a first polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The first film can include an optional first fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the first polymeric layer. The sealed storage tank can further include a second film attached to the first film and at least partially defining a second internal chamber of the sealed storage tank, the second film comprising. The second film can further include a second polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The second film can include an optional second fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the second polymeric layer.

High-performance metal matrix composites of copper, aluminum, and/or titanium are produced by embedding nanocarbon reinforcement into metal foil or sheet which is concurrently laminated into a multilayer structure to produce high- performance materials for thermal management, enhanced electrical conductivity, armor products and high-strength composite structures.

Textile backsheets including a nonwoven fabric and film, such as a vapor-permeable and liquid impermeable (VPLI) film or a non-permeable film, are provided, wherein the nonwoven fabric is directly or indirectly bonded to the film. Methods of making such textile backsheets and absorbent articles including the textile backsheets are also provided.

A composite carbon fiber laminate, including a first carbon fiber woven fabric layer, including one or more first voids defined between fabric strands of the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer; a second carbon fiber woven fabric layer, including one or more second voids defined between fabric strands of the second carbon fiber woven fabric layer; a core fabric layer; a first reflective layer positioned between the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer and the core fabric layer; and a second reflective fabric layer positioned between the second carbon fiber woven fabric layer and the core fabric layer, wherein the first reflective layer reflects light that is incident upon the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer at the one or more first voids.

Disclosed is a new multi-layer nonwoven interlining and the production process thereof. The process allows a multi-layer nonwoven interlining to be obtained simultaneously with a single process on a single production line. The process includes a fiber opening step, a fiber feeding step, a carding step, a levelling step of the additional layer by the thermal treatment, and a point bonding step of the carded web and additional layer. As a result of the process, a structure is obtained where the carded web is point-bonded onto the additional layer.

A nonwoven web obtained by electrospinning, suitable for the filtration of nano- and/or submicron aerosols, including a multiplicity of fibers of composition C1, the composition C1 including at least 50% by weight of at least one polymer P1 based on the repeat unit resulting from vinylidene fluoride (VDF), the fibers of composition C1 having a degree of crystallinity in polar phase(s), preferentially in solely beta phase, of at least 65% by weight, with respect to their total weight. Also, a process for the manufacture of the web, to a membrane including the web and also to a process for the washing/sterilization of the web or of the membrane.
