The first inorganic particles have a median primary particle size of less than about 5 micrometers.

Articles, such as sanitary tissue products, including fibrous structures, and more particularly articles including fibrous structures having a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the article exhibits differential cellulose content throughout the thickness of the article and methods for making same are provided.

A waterproof extrusion laminated flexible membrane that may be seamlessly applied to an irregularity on a substrate supporting a finished surface for waterproofing that includes first and second polypropylene non-woven layers each having first and second surfaces, a water impermeable HDPE oriented cross laminated film layer, a first tie layer between the first non-woven first surface and the cross laminated film layer, and a second tie layer between the second non-woven first surface and the cross laminated film layer. Other membranes and methods are also disclosed.

Described is a carbon fibre fabric comprising an interlacement (2) of carbon fibre yarns (3) and polymer fibre yarns (4).

The invention relates to a respirator mask comprising a filter material piece made of an air-permeable material and at least one securing band, wherein the air-permeable material comprises at least one layer of a non-woven fabric and the at least one securing band is designed to secure the respirator mask to the head, wherein the air-permeable material and the at least one securing band are made of the same plastic material.

The content of the acrylic block copolymer (I) is 70 to 300 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the hydrogenated block copolymer (II); the hydrogenated block copolymer (II) is a hydrogenated product of a block copolymer (P) including a polymer block (A1) containing structural units derived from an aromatic vinyl compound, and a polymer block (B1) containing 1 to 100 mass % of structural units (b1) derived from farnesene and 99 to 0 mass % of structural units (b2) derived from a conjugated diene other than farnesene, the mass ratio [(A1)/(B1)] of the polymer block (A1) to the polymer block (B1) being 1/99 to 70/30; and the hydrogenation ratio of carbon-carbon double bonds in the polymer block (B1) is 50 to 100 mol %.

Provided herein are a controllable liquid transport material, a controllable liquid transport system and a method for preparing a controllable liquid transport material, where a first region of the controllable liquid transport material is treated to be hydrophobic, while a plurality of second regions partially contacted or completely separated with different shapes are treated to have a gradient or varied wettabilities and/or pore sizes for passively controllable liquid transport, and/or integrated with a smart material for actively controllable liquid transport driven by an external force, allowing efficiently and controllably directional transport of a liquid e.g., sweat. The controllable liquid transport system comprises a controllable liquid transport material used as a liquid transport layer and a breathable, waterproof protective layer.

The present invention describes various methods for manufacturing gel composite sheets using segmented fiber or foam reinforcements and gel precursors. Additionally, rigid panels manufactured from the resulting gel composites are also described. The gel composites are relatively flexible enough to be wound and when unwound, can be stretched flat and made into rigid panels using adhesives.

A composite material having at least two layers of reinforcing fibers impregnated with a curable resin; an interlaminar region formed between adjacent layers of reinforcing fibers; and a combination of polymeric toughening particles and fire-retardant particles in the interlaminar region.
