A method for fabricating a liner for a tubular hose, comprising selecting a combination of functional filaments and filling filaments, the functional filaments being elastic filaments, and combining the functional filaments and the filling filaments, in a ratio selected according to a target radial expansion and compression of the liner, under a selected twisting tension and with a selected twist number; into filler yarns; selecting warp yarns according to a target rigidity in a longitudinal direction of the liner; twisting together a number of the filler yarns into filler threads and the warp yarns into warp threads; and weaving the liner around the hose by interlacing the filler threads and the warp threads.

Composite materials are described herein. An example composite material may comprise a shell fiber layer. The example composite material may comprise a membrane disposed adjacent the shell fiber layer.

The present invention relates to a toothed belt, including: a back portion including a tension member; a plurality of tooth portions; a back rubber layer; and a first rubber layer and a second rubber layer that are formed on a belt inner circumferential side with respect to the tension member, in which an elastic modulus of the first rubber layer is larger than that of the second rubber layer, the first rubber layer includes a first crosslinked rubber composition including a first rubber component and a first short fiber, a proportion of the first short fiber is 5 parts by mass to 60 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the first rubber component, the first short fiber is oriented in a belt longitudinal direction along a contour of the tooth portion.

A fireproof material used for a lithium battery module and a method for producing the same are provided. The fireproof material has a stacked structure formed by stacking multiple layers of mesh structures. Each layer of the mesh structures includes a plurality of first fibers and a plurality of second fibers. The first fibers are oxidized fibers, and the second fibers are silicate fibers. Each layer of the mesh structures is formed by interweaving the plurality of first fibers and the plurality of second fibers. The multiple layers of the mesh structures of the fireproof material have a stacked layer number of between 5 layers and 20 layers and a stacked layer thickness of between 0.3 mm and 5 mm. The fireproof material has a density of between 0.05 g/cm.sup.3 and 2 g/cm.sup.3 and a thermal conductivity of between 0.01 W/(m.Math.K) and 0.8 W/(m.Math.K).

A multi-piece floor arrangement and assembly forms a floor covering that includes a top, or upper, rug portion and bottom, or lower, mat portion, and pocketed corner areas in each corner of an underside surface of the rug portion into which corresponding corners of the mat portion are insertable. The pocketed corner areas secure the rug portion with the mat portion when both are placed on an underlying surface while enabling a flow of air between the rug portion and the mat portion. The mat portion includes multiple interlocking sections that help to maintain the floor covering in a uniform planar shape and provide an aesthetically-pleasing appearance when placed on an underlying surface. The multi-piece arrangement and assembly does not move relative to that surface, yet does not require either a cumbersome installation or removal process.

A barrier article comprises a multilayer article that includes a plurality of core layers and a plurality of binder layers, wherein at least one core layer includes a woven or nonwoven fiber mat or fabric, and wherein at least one binder layer includes a silicone material. The plurality of core layers and binder layers are arranged in an alternating manner. The barrier article is operatively adapted to survive or withstand at least seven cycles of the Torch and Grit Test. The barrier article can be flexible and can provide a thermal insulation and blast protection barrier in, for example, a rechargeable electrical energy storage system.

The present invention relates to a woven fabric for the manufacture of fibre reinforced composites having an area weight from 100 to 200 g/m.sup.2 which comprises unidirectional reinforcing fibres, carbon fibres and flow passages forming elements arranged in warp and/or weft direction, and, optionally additives. The flow passages forming elements are arranged transverse to the reinforcing fibres and the carbon fibres forming flow passages at the side of the flow passages forming elements. Moreover, the present invention relates to a vacuum induced resin infusion process for forming a fibre reinforced composite from such woven fabric as well as the fibre reinforced composite.

A fiber structure includes a liner and a fiber-reinforced base member. The liner includes a cylindrical body portion, a dome portion, and a shoulder portion. The fiber-reinforced base member covers the liner from outside. The fiber-reinforced base member includes first yarns arranged such that yarn main axes extend in the axial direction, and second yarns arranged such that yarn main axes extend in a circumferential direction of the liner. The fiber-reinforced base member includes a first section covering at least a boundary between the body portion and the dome portion, and a second section that is a section excluding the first section. An average degree of interlacing between the first yarns and the second yarns is lower in the first section than in the second section.
