The nonmetallic flexible pipe comprises, from the inside to the outside, an inner liner, a pressure bearing layer, an isolation layer, a tensile layer, a functional layer, and a protective layer, wherein two adjacent layers are non-rigidly bonded. The inner liner layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer. The pressure bearing layer is made from a fiber-reinforced resin-based composite material. The isolation layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer. The tensile layer is made from a resin-reinforced fiber material. At least one of an optical fiber, a cable, a tracing ribbon, a pipe for conveying a heat transfer medium, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor is provided in the functional layer. The protective layer is made from a thermoplastic polymer.

Provided is an electric connector, which is to be arranged between a connection terminal of a first device and a connection terminal of a second device, and is configured to electrically connect the connection terminal of the first device and the connection terminal of the second device to each other, the electric connector including a composite, the composite including: an elastic body having a plurality of through holes that penetrate therethrough in a thickness direction; and a conductive member, which is joined to an inner wall of each of the through holes, and is configured to electrically connect the connection terminal of the first device and the connection terminal of the second device to each other, wherein at least a part of a vicinity of at least one of distal ends of the conductive member is hollow.

Elasticated materials and articles comprising elasticated materials are disclosed. In an embodiment, an elasticated material may comprise a first layer, second layer, an elastomeric strand disposed between the first and second layers, and a plurality of bonds bonding the first and second layers together. The strand may have straight and arcuate portions. The bonds may comprise a first and a second bond and may be disposed on opposite sides of the strand and separated a distance less than an un-tensioned diameter of the strand. The first and second bonds may be disposed along a strand straight portion. The plurality of bonds may further comprise a third and fourth bond which are longitudinally adjacent and disposed on opposite sides of the strand and spaced apart a distance greater than the un-tensioned diameter of the strand. The third and fourth bonds may be disposed along a strand arcuate portion.

Provided in the present disclosure is an outsole including a sheet body which includes a substrate sheet and an injection molded article fixed to the substrate sheet, and a shoe that has the injection molded article having a certain melt viscosity and thereby being excellent in grip performance and long-term durability.

A multi-layered fire-resistant roofing underlayment is disclosed. The roofing underlayment has a core of aluminum foil. On each side of the aluminum foil is a layer of nonwoven material. A lamination coating is between the aluminum foil layer and the layers of nonwoven material. At the bottom of the roofing underlayment is a backside coating layer. The roofing underlayment may be utilized in bats or rolls.

A shoe insole includes a semi-rigid shell for providing a wearer with extended comfort. The semi-rigid shell includes a notch which is located on the outward side of the wearer's foot and accommodates pronation of the foot during use. Additionally, the semi-rigid shell includes an extended side portion which is located opposite of the notch side on an inner side of the wearer's foot. The semi-rigid shell is shorter in length than the length of a shoe sole and slightly shorter in width and may be combined with an insole comfort cover to provide cushion between the wearer's foot and the semi-rigid shell.

An adhesive device is capable of releasing fragrances, specifically scent patches. The adhesive device is used in the treatment of side effects associated with incontinence or an ileostomy.

Disclosed are an undercover for vehicles with high elasticity and rigidity and a method of manufacturing the same. The undercover for vehicles with high elasticity and rigidity may include a needle-punched nonwoven fabric having a multi-layer structure of felt layers including a first PET fiber and a low-melting-point PET fiber, and each of the felt layers may have improved tensile strength and have optimized fiber alignment, to thereby improve the binding between fibers, mechanical rigidity and elasticity, as well as to reduce the weight of components, improve durability and secure harmlessness and inline workability.

The disclosure relates to adhesive compositions comprising a semi-crystalline olefin polymer or copolymer and a functionalized wax, functionalized olefin polymer, or mixture thereof. These compositions are useful as, for example, adhesives in disposable articles such as diapers, adult incontinence articles, underpads, personal care garments, and the like.

Layered nonwoven textile containing a first layer (T) of filaments, which contains endless filaments containing a first carrier polymer (A1) and a first binding polymer (B1), which forms at least a part of surface of said endless filaments and which has a melting temperature at least 5° C. lower than the first carrier polymer (A1), wherein the first layer (T) of filaments contains bonding points in a spaced arrangement, wherein the bonding points interconnect the filaments and are formed by the first binding polymer (B1), a second layer (M) of filaments, which contains filaments containing a carrier material, the stiffness of which is lower than the stiffness of the first carrier polymer (A1), and a second binding polymer (B2), which has a melting temperature at least 5° C., preferably at least 10° C., lower than the carrier material and the first carrier polymer (A1), wherein the second layer (M) of filaments contains bonding points in a spaced arrangement, wherein the bonding points interconnect the filaments of the second layer (M) and are formed by the second binding polymer (B1).
