The base fabric comprises at least two monolayer structures arranged in an orderly manner as two laminates. Each monolayer structure is woven with some of the warp yarns and/or weft yarns in such layer or with some of the warp yarns and/or weft yarns in one or more other layers to form a number of connecting points, such that at least two monolayer structures arranged in an orderly manner as two laminates are connected with each other in the weaving process, forming a multi-layer integrated base fabric. The artificial leather incorporates a number of air vent holes distributed in the resin layer and the base fabric in the direction of thickness while retaining mechanical properties of tensile strength and tear resistance.

A method of manufacturing a metal-clad laminate and uses of the same are provided. The method comprises the following steps: (a) impregnating a reinforcement material with a first fluoropolymer solution, and drying the impregnated reinforcement material under a first temperature to obtain a first prepreg; (b) impregnating the first prepreg with a second fluoropolymer solution, and drying the impregnated first prepreg under a second temperature to obtain a second prepreg; and (c) laminating the second prepreg and a metal-clad to obtain a metal-clad laminate, wherein the first fluoropolymer solution has a first fluoropolymer, the second fluoropolymer solution has a second fluoropolymer, and the first fluoropolymer and the second fluoropolymer are different.

A method for improving the translation efficiency of fiber strength into composite strength is provided. A single unidirectional tape, single unidirectional fiber web or a stack of unidirectional web/unidirectional tape plies formed from partially oriented fibers/tapes is primed under mild conditions followed by subjecting the primed plies to an axial extension stress in the axial fiber direction of each fiber ply by passage through a compression apparatus. The axial extension stress extends the fibers, strengthening them, while also compacting the plies together and thereby forming a composite having improved strength. Production yield is improved by avoiding maximal fiber stretching and thereby avoiding typical manufacturing loss, and low weight composite armor having increased strength is achieved.
