An impact-resistant material includes a first elastomer layer having a first density, a second elastomer layer having a second density higher than the first density, a layer of high-tensile strength fibrous material, and a polymer layer. These layers are preferably be arranged in the order in which they are recited. These layers may also be included in an impact-resistant pad configured to be worn by a user. The first elastomer layer is positioned directly adjacent the user when the pad is worn by the user.

A surface covering is provided and includes an upper section of laminated polymeric layers and an acoustical section for dissipating sound waves.

Disclosed are an embedded co-cured composite material with large-damping and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties and a preparation method and an application thereof, belonging to damping composite materials. The embedded co-cured composite material is formed by interlacing a plurality of electromagnetic wave absorbing prepreg layers and a plurality of electromagnetic wave absorbing damping layers. Each of the electromagnetic wave absorbing prepregs layers includes a fiber cloth, a micro-nano electromagnetic wave absorbing material and a resin. Contents of the micro-nano electromagnetic wave absorbing material in the electromagnetic wave absorbing prepreg layers and the electromagnetic wave absorbing damping layers have a gradient increase or decrease according to a sequence of the electromagnetic wave absorbing prepreg layers. Each of the electromagnetic wave absorbing damping layers includes a viscoelastic damping material and the micro-nano electromagnetic wave absorbing material.

The present invention relates to a solar panel to which a high-damping stacked reinforcement part is applied and, more specifically, to a solar panel to which a high-damping stacked reinforcement part is applied, comprising: a power generation unit for generating electrical energy; a coupling part to which the power generation unit is coupled, and which has a circuit formed therein; and a reinforcement part for reinforcing the rigidity of the coupling part and damping vibration to be transmitted, and thus the present invention can prevent the power generation unit from being damaged by vibration, or the solar panel from inducing wobbling of a satellite by failing to damp the vibration.

Provided is a functional laminate including a porous intermediate layer having air permeability laminated between a porous surface layer and a resin foamed layer, the porous intermediate layer having an affinity to a foaming resin forming the resin foamed layer.
