A resin composition for a printed wiring board, including: a phenolic compound (A); a maleimide compound (B); an epoxy compound (C); a cyclic carbodiimide compound (D); an inorganic filler (E); and a curing accelerator (F), wherein a content of the inorganic filler (E) is 100 to 250 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of a resin solid content.

Absorbent product including a laminate of at least two plies, wherein the absorbent product has a measured Valley Volume parameter greater than 11 microns and a Pit Density of greater than 25 pockets per sq. cm.

The invention includes a method of providing an intermediary layer in a laminated structure, between two adjacent layers, where the intermediary layer contains a fiber having an extrusion coating. The intermediary layer may form a textile constructed from the fibers, the intermediary layer, when the lamination method proceeds, provides the adhesion between the adjacent layers, as well as reinforcement for the laminated structure.

An impact resistant exterior sheathing gypsum building panel with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh which protects against impact from projectiles such as those conveyed by hurricane force winds is provided. Methods for manufacturing these exterior sheathing gypsum building panels with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious building panel is provided.

This invention relates to devices integrally comprising fibres that have emissivities, particularly of infrared radiation, that can be controllably varied. The active emissive surface comprises graphene layers with intercalated ions.

The present invention relates to a reinforcing structure, such as a reinforcing structure for reinforcing a wind turbine blade, comprising: a first composite element layer comprising at least two carbon fibre reinforced composite elements; a second composite element layer comprising one or more carbon fibre reinforced composite elements; an interlayer sandwiched at least partly between the first and the second composite element layer, the interlayer comprising an electrically conductive portion and a non-conductive portion surrounding the conductive portion, the conductive portion abutting exactly two of the carbon fibre reinforced composite elements comprised in the first composite element layer. A method for manufacturing such a structure is also provided.

An article of apparel includes a composite material. The composite material includes a pliable first layer and a resilient second layer, where the first and second layers are secured to each other via a patterned strand network. In forming the composite material, the second layer is stretched and maintained under tension while the first layer is secured to the second layer via the patterned strand network. The tension on the second layer is then released, resulting in contraction of the second layer in relation to the first layer and an outward buckling or protrusion of the first layer in relation to the second layer to form protruding cells along the composite material that are bounded by portions of the patterned strand network. The patterned strand network can be formed using embroidery with one or more auxetic patterns in the stitching.

A composite material includes a fiber and a structure including a plurality of carbon nanotubes and having a network structure in which the carbon nanotubes are in direct contact with each other and in which the carbon nanotubes directly adhere to a surface of the fiber. The carbon nanotubes have a bent shape including a bent portion.

A multilayer film bonded to a base fabric includes a first layer bonded to the base fabric; and a second layer disposed on the first layer. The first layer, the second layer, or both includes a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyester-based elastomer, a polyurethane-based elastomer, and a polyamide-based elastomer. A melt strength of the multilayer film is greater than or equal to 7.5 mN.

An air and water barrier article comprised of multiple layers. The layers include a porous layer, a polymeric layer disposed on a front side of the porous layer, and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on a second side of the porous layer. In certain embodiments, a top polymeric layer having hydrophobic and UV resistant properties will be provided on a surface of the first polymeric layer opposite the adhesive layer. Each of the polymeric layers and the porous layer can be formed of a material(s) having a Tg between −40° C. and 20° C. The top layer, if present, can have a Tg between −5 and 30° C. The barrier article can provide nail seal ability and have a weight of less than 30 ounces per square yard.
