A structured tissue belt assembly including a supporting layer, a non-woven web contacting layer, and one or more laser welds that attach the bottom surface of the web contacting layer to the top surface of the supporting layer. The structured tissue belt assembly allows for air flow in x, y and z directions. In exemplary embodiments, the structured tissue belt assembly has an embedment distance between the supporting layer and the web contacting layer of 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm and a peel force between the web contacting layer and the supporting layer of at least 650 gf/inch.

Porous, binderless ceramic surface modification materials are described, and applications of use thereof. The ceramic surface material is in the form of an interconnected network of porous ceramic material on a substrate. The ceramic material may include a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, and/or hydrates thereof, or a metal carbonate or metal phosphate, on a substrate surface. The substrate may be in the form of a metal or polymer particulate, powder, extrudate, or flakes.

Assemblies of stacked layers of materials are described. The assemblies include functional and structural layers. Functional layers include binderless ceramic materials on woven or non-woven substrates of natural, synthetic, or metallic materials. The layers of functional and structural materials may be configured to transport moisture or heat from an inner surface to an outer surface that is exposed to an ambient environment.

An artificial leather includes a resin layer as the surface and a base fabric connected to the resin layer as the substrate. 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.

The invention provides a process for manufacturing a dynamically warm-keeping garment with a one-way moisture transferring function. The warm-keeping garment is made of a one-way moisture transferring fabric that includes a surface layer, a warm-keeping layer and a lining layer or includes the surface layer, a first warm-keeping layer, an intermediate interlayer, a second warm-keeping layer and the lining layer. The above technical solution addresses the following problems of traditional warm-keeping cotton clothes and down jackets: temperature loss caused by unsmooth sweat discharge; complex and difficult processing due to underarm zippers for ventilation; static damage and possible explosion of washing machines by air pressure due to air tightness during washing.

A preparation method for artificial leather, includes applying a weaving process. The weaving includes adopting at least two groups of warp or weft yarns, and weaving each group of yarns into a monolayer structure to form at least two monolayer structures. Each of the monolayer structures is woven with some of the warp and/or weft yarns in such layer or with some of the warp and/or weft yarns in another layer 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 by the weaving process, thereby forming a multi-layer integrated base fabric. The method includes bonding the base fabric and a resin layer together to form an artificial leather; and punching holes multiple air vent holes in the leather distributed in the resin layer and base fabric in the thickness direction.

A burn resistant barrier composite for application to a roof or wall of a building incorporates a metal foil in a woven fabric to improve burn through resistance. The barrier composite may be a roof underlayment or a housewrap. A barrier composite incorporates a polymer film attached to a metal foil that is cut into tapes and then woven into a woven fabric. The polymer film may be a tensilized polymer film that has increase modulus through orienting the film. The space between the tapes in the woven fabric provides permeability for moisture vapor. An additional barrier layer may be attached to the woven fabric to prevent moisture and/or water transfer through the barrier composite or to enable moisture vapor transmission through the barrier composite. An adhesive may be attached to the barrier composite to enable direct adhesion to a wall or roof surface.

Provided herein are systems and methods for reinforcing a high-temperature, high pressure pipe. In one embodiment, a reinforcing material (e.g., carbon fiber) and an epoxy resin composition are applied to an inner or outer surface of a pipe. The epoxy resin composition is cured in situ, thereby forming a cured composite material attached to the inner or outer surface of the pipe. The cured composite material comprises a cured epoxy resin composition having a Tg of at least about 250? F. (121.1? C.).

A woven EMI sleeve has a wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The wall is wrapped about a central longitudinal axis into a tubular configuration bounding an enclosed cavity sized for receipt of an elongate member therein. The wall is woven with warp filaments extending generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis and weft filaments extending generally transversely to the warp filaments. The warp filaments include conductive filaments provided as wire filaments and separate non-conductive warp filaments. The weft filaments include heat-set filaments that are heat-formed to bias the wall into the tubular configuration and to bias opposite edges into overlapping relation with one another. The weft filaments also include conductive filaments.
