A combustion temperature of the organic flame-resistant fibers is at least 500° C. and/or a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the organic flame-resistant fibers is at least 25%. The composite substrate is mechanically consolidated.

The present invention provides a structure protection sheet capable of dramatically reducing a construction period to place protective layers on surfaces of structures such as concrete, protecting the structures for a long time, preventing swelling phenomena caused by water vapor inside the concrete, and preventing a decrease in attachability. The present invention relates to a structure protection sheet including: a polymer cement cured layer on a side facing a structure; and a resin layer on the polymer cement cured layer, the structure protection sheet having a water vapor transmission rate of 10 to 50 g/m.sup.2.Math.day.

A frictional power transmission belt includes a tension layer forming a belt back surface, a compression rubber layer to be in contact with a pulley and frictionally engaged with the pulley, and a tension member embedded between the tension layer and the compression rubber layer along a belt length direction. The compression rubber layer has a surface to be in contact with the pulley. At least a part of the surface is coated with a fiber layer via a fiber/resin mixture layer. The fiber/resin mixture layer contains a resin component and heat-resistant fibers having a softening point or a melting point higher than a vulcanization temperature of a rubber forming the compression rubber layer. The fiber layer contains hydrophilic heat-resistant fibers having a softening point or a melting point higher than the vulcanization temperature and does not contain a resin component.

Nonwoven multilayer structures having at least two nanofiber layers are described herein. The nonwoven multilayer structure may have two nanofibers layers that have different properties from each other, such as fiber diameter. One nanofiber layer may be produced by an electrospinning process, while another nanofiber layer may be produced by a melt blown process.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered composite garment material comprising at least a fabric layer and a functionalized adhesive sheet layer. The present invention also relates to a functionalized adhesive sheet or film comprising 3D adhesive structures embossed on the sheet or film. The sheet or film can be used to bind multiple garment layers while maintaining or enhancing the characteristics of the individual garment layers.

The invention relates to a connector assembly, a seam tape, a garment and a method to produce a connector assembly.
