The present disclosure provides for protective drainage wraps having improved properties, including fluid handling and structural integrity. The protective material barrier constructions, such as wraps, provide protection to surfaces, such as walls of buildings. The present disclosure provides for methods of making, using, and installing such protective material barrier constructions.

A fabric structure includes a first layer, which is breathable and adapted to be directed toward the body of the user, a second layer, which has preferential passages for sweat in the vapor phase leading outward from the first layer, a third layer, which is breathable and arranged opposite the first layer, the second layer being between the first layer and the third layer. The first layer includes fibers of heat-conducting material.

The present application relates to a packaging and dispensing assembly comprising a substantially tubular body obtained from a multilayer complex material, at least one inner layer of which is made from a hydrophilic material, said tubular body having at least one longitudinal end closed by a flat joint between two opposite portions of said tubular body and at which the multilayer material has a free edge directly exposing said layer of hydrophilic material, the assembly being characterized in that the free edges of the flat joint are covered with a strip of an impermeable material extending on both sides of said flat joint, said strip of impermeable material being fixed in an at least watertight manner to the tubular body along the flat joint.

A stitched fabric including a barrier layer; a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the barrier layer, and a foam core formed over the barrier layer. A melted portion of the barrier layer fills at least a portion of the stitch holes. The foam core is prevented from progressing further into the stitched fabric by the barrier layer. As such, the barrier layer is configured to control a depth to which the foam core penetrates into the stitched fabric. The foam core may be formed over at least a portion of the yarn. A second foam core may be formed on a side of the barrier layer opposite the foam core.

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.

Aspects herein are directed to systems, methods, and articles for producing a patterned film and using the patterned film to form a pattern of discrete overlay film structures on a substrate material. A uniform thickness of a film material is deposited on to a first surface of a run of carrier sheets, where each carrier sheet includes one or more holes extending there through. A first carrier sheet is extracted from the run of carrier sheets, and a second surface of the carrier sheet is positioned on a substrate material. Heat and/or pressure is applied to the film material to cause the film material to transfer to the substrate material through the one or more holes in the carrier sheet forming a pattern of discrete overlay film structures on the substrate material. The carrier sheet along with remaining portions of the film material is removed from the substrate material.

The present disclosure may be directed towards a substrate with an array disposed thereon. The substrate comprising a bonding array with a plurality of bonding locations. A low emissivity layer is deposited on at least one side of the substrate and covers at least some of the bonding locations. The low emissivity layer may be a metal layer which functions as a radiant barrier.

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a porous graphene layer across a precursor material layer on a substrate. The method comprises: determining a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold, the first temperature threshold being a minimum temperature required for forming the porous graphene layer from a precursor material layer on a portion of the substrate, the second temperature threshold being one at which the substrate is likely to experience thermal damages above this temperature threshold; determining at least one of operating parameters of a light source, wherein exposing the precursor material layer to the light source that is operating under the at least one of the operating parameters causes a temperature of the portion of the substrate adjoining a side of the precursor material layer to maintain below the second temperature threshold and a temperature of the opposite side of the precursor material layer to rise above the first temperature threshold; and generating an a beam of light from the light source to the precursor material layer based on the at least one of operating parameters of the light source to form the porous graphene layer.

An article including one or more moisture wicking layers and one or more fibrous layers. The fibrous layers may have generally vertically oriented fibers, which may be oriented generally perpendicularly to a surface having or producing moisture. The article may be adapted to remove moisture form the surface having or producing moisture. The article may be breathable. The article may be quick drying. The article may provide cushioning. The article may be a wearable item.

Provided are a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) film and a laminate comprising the same. The LCP film has a first surface and a second surface opposite each other, and a Kurtosis (Rku) of the first surface ranges from 3.0 to 60.0. With the Rku, the LCP film is able to improve the peel strength with a metal foil and ensure that a laminate comprising the same maintains the merit of low insertion loss.
