This composite-material blade formed by using a fiber-reinforced resin containing a resin and reinforcing fibers is provided with: a base material part provided on the inner surface of the composite-material blade; and a first cover part for covering the outer surface of the base material part. The base material part is formed by using a carbon fiber-reinforced resin containing a first resin and carbon fibers. The first cover part is formed from an elastic polymer fiber-reinforced resin containing a second resin and elastic polymer fibers, and has more resistance to impact than the base material part.

A wettable barrier fabric is provided that exhibits barrier function to dry particles and splashed liquids while also exhibiting wettability and wicking properties. A garment formed from a wettable barrier fabric that has good absorption properties and that retains good barrier properties is also provided.

A bacterial cellulose-based air filter mesh and use thereof are disclosed. The bacterial cellulose-based air filter mesh comprises a three-layer structure, in which a layer of a bacterial cellulose-based filter mesh is sandwiched by two layers of polymer fiber filter meshes; wherein the polymer fiber filter mesh is a mesh having a uniform grid size formed from polymer fibers by blended-yarn weaving; and the bacterial cellulose-based filter mesh is formed by in-situ synthesis of bacterial cellulose on a non-woven fabric through fermentation by bacteria. The bacterial cellulose-based air filter mesh has better particle filtering effect, better formaldehyde adsorption capacity, better antibacterial performance and good electrostatic capacity; and it can be used for producing gauze windows, air conditioning filters, air purification filters and the like, and has a wide range of applications.

A composite material having a molten polymer barrier effect with flame-retardant properties includes a first layer of non-woven fabric having 40% or more by weight of oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers to confer flame-retardant properties. The first layer has a basis weight of 200-600 g/m2 and a thickness of 1.6-5 mm. A barrier layer overlaps the first layer and counteracts passage of molten polymer. The first layers oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers have a count of 1.5-5 dtex and the other first layer synthetic fibers have a count of 0.8-5 dtex. The barrier layer includes a second layer of non-woven fabric of hydro-entangled synthetic and/or artificial fibers. The barrier layer has a basis weight of 70-150 g/m2; a thickness of 0.4-1.5 mm; and a permeability of 200 L/m2s-2000 L/m2s under a pressure drop of 2 mbar. The composite material has a thickness of 2-6.5 mm, and a basis weight of 270-750 g/m2.

A stitched fabric including a foam core and a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the foam core, where the yarn extends over at least a majority of a width and a length of the stitched fabric. In some cases, the yarn and the foam core are free from contact by another layer on either side of the foam core. In some cases, a barrier layer is disposed over at least one side of the foam core and a melted portion of the barrier layer fills a portion of the stitch holes. In some cases, the foam core is a closed cell aerogel foam core.

The present disclosure relates to an step artificial leather having visual penetration and a manufacturing method thereof. The artificial leather includes a thermoplastic substrate, a thermoplastic adhering layer, and a thermoplastic surface layer. The thermoplastic substrate has fiber net shape, and has visual penetration. The thermoplastic adhering layer is disposed on the thermoplastic substrate. The thermoplastic surface layer is disposed on the thermoplastic adhering layer. The thermoplastic surface layer and the thermoplastic adhering layer are transparent. Therefore, the artificial leather of the present disclosure has visual penetration effect. The product made from the artificial leather of the present disclosure has attractive appearance and diversity.

The present disclosure provides for protective drainage wraps having improved properties, including fluid handling and structural integrity. The protective material barrier constructions, such as wraps, provide protection to surfaces, such as walls of buildings. The present disclosure provides for methods of making, using, and installing such protective material barrier constructions.

The present disclosure relates generally to roofing elements and methods for making them. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a roofing element in the form of a roofing shingle that includes a body of a foamed cured cross-linked polymer, the body having a top surface and a bottom surface, the body extending substantially in a plane and having a thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 35 mm; and a layer of weather-resistant roofing granules disposed on and adhered at the top surface of roofing element. The roofing element can be made by providing a body of wet foamed curable composition, and allowing the curable composition to cure to provide the body of foamed cured cross-linked polymer.

A stitched fabric including a barrier layer; a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the barrier layer, and a foam core formed over the barrier layer. A melted portion of the barrier layer fills at least a portion of the stitch holes. The foam core is prevented from progressing further into the stitched fabric by the barrier layer. As such, the barrier layer is configured to control a depth to which the foam core penetrates into the stitched fabric. The foam core may be formed over at least a portion of the yarn. A second foam core may be formed on a side of the barrier layer opposite the foam core.

The method for producing a skin material is a method for producing a skin material having a concave part formed on the front surface side, comprising heat-pressing a raw material between an embossing die and an elastic sheet to form the concave part and, at the same time, forming a convex part on a bottom surface of the concave part.
