Described herein is a multilayer microporous film or membrane that may exhibit improved properties, including improved dielectric break down and strength, compared to prior monolayer or tri-layer microporous membranes of the same thickness. The preferred multilayer microporous membrane comprises microlayers and one or more lamination barriers. Also disclosed is a battery separator or battery comprising one or more of the multilayer microporous films or membranes. The inventive battery and battery separator is preferably safer and more robust than batteries and battery separators using prior monolayer and tri-layer microporous membranes. Also, described herein is a method for making the multilayer microporous separators, membranes or films described herein.

An aramid fabric having excellent adhesion to a polyurethane matrix resin and excellent tensile strength is produced by the method including the steps of: (i) weaving a basket-structured aramid fabric by using aramid yarns as warp and weft yarns; and then (ii) dipping the woven aramid fabric in a sizing agent solution consisting of an aqueous polyurethane resin as a sizing agent and water, followed by squeezing and drying. In the present disclosure, the sizing agent is applied to the woven aramid fabric, thereby effectively preventing the deterioration in weaving efficiency. Further, the aramid fabric is woven in a basket weave, and thus the compactness of the aramid fabric is lowered and the wetting property of the aramid fabric with the polyurethane matrix resin is improved.

Disclosed are an outer case for a secondary battery, and a secondary battery including the same, the outer case comprising: a first polymer resin layer; a second polymer resin layer positioned on a first surface of the first polymer resin layer, and having a first adhesive layer interposed therebetween so as to be attached thereto; and an inner resin layer positioned on a second surface of the first polymer resin layer, and having a second adhesive layer interposed therebetween so as to be attached thereto, wherein the first polymer resin layer and the second polymer resin layer respectively comprise a fluorine-containing resin.

A press felt is provided including a non-woven base fabric material formed of a first fabric structure, with the first fabric structure including an array of MD yarns connected with at least one layer of a hot melt adhesive web material and at least one layer of a non-woven backing. The non-woven backing includes a layer of a first yarn system and a layer of a second yarn system oriented transverse to the first yarn system. At least one of the first and second yarn systems includes a low melt temperature adhesive that is heat activated and binds the first and second yarn systems together. The nonwoven base fabric material has an MD length and CD width and is arranged in two superimposed layers joined by the MD oriented yarns at CD oriented fold regions at each of two opposing ends thereof.

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass capable of enhancing the sound insulating property over a wide range of temperature from 0° C. to 40° C. An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention is an interlayer film for laminated glass having a one-layer structure or a two or more-layer structure, the interlayer film includes a resin layer, and a ratio of a first storage modulus G′ at a peak temperature of a maximum peak of tan δ to a second storage modulus G′ at a temperature 100° C. higher than the peak temperature of the maximum peak of tan δ is 50 or more and 500 or less in viscoelasticity measurement at a frequency of 1 Hz in a shearing mode.

The breathable sheet of the present invention is comprised of a 4-methyl-1-pentene-based polymer or a resin composition containing the 4-methyl-1-pentene-based polymer as a main component. In addition, the breathable sheet of the present invention is preferably selected from the group consisting of a net, a mesh, a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, and a perforated sheet.

Provided are a foldable back plate film and a method of manufacturing the same.

A multi-layer article of woven fabric includes a woven base layer; a woven mesh layer, disposed above the base layer, the mesh layer utilizing a first common warp for each one of a plurality of stacked wefts; and a woven binding layer, disposed above the mesh layer. The base layer and the binding layer share a second common warp.

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.
