The present invention provides a magnetic glass fibre component comprising at least one glass fibre component coated and/or impregnated with an iron ore containing resin.

The invention relates to a method for continuously producing an embossed web (2) from a primary web (3) having a surface face (3A) and an opposite back face (3B), wherein the primary web (3) is subjected to an operation for embossing the surface face (3A) using a heated embossing cylinder (5), the method being characterised in that the embossing operation comprises at least a first step of compressing the surface face (3A) of the primary web (3), said primary web (3) being in contact with the surface of the heated embossing cylinder (5) on at least one portion (Pc) of the perimeter of the latter, using a compression band (6) in surface contact with the back face (3B) of the primary web (3).

The present invention relates to a polyester sound absorption material having improved moldability and decreased weight and a method of manufacturing a molded product using the same, and more particularly to a polyester sound absorption material, which is capable of integrally molding a skin member and a sound absorption material using a felt including a polyester base fiber, a low-melting-point polyester adhesive fiber and a polyester hollow fiber, without the need to attach an additional sound absorption pad onto a skin member.

Fabrication of ballistic resistant fibrous composites having improved ballistic resistance properties. More particularly, ballistic resistant fibrous composites having high interlaminar lap shear strength between component fiber plies or fiber layers, which correlates to low composite backface signature. The high lap shear strength, low backface signature composites are useful for the production of hard armor articles, including helmet armor.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to articles that provide less sag. In some examples, the articles can include a fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer core layer comprising reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic polymer, and a frim disposed on the fiber reinforced polymer core layer. In certain examples, the frim comprises a film coupled to a scrim comprising an effective basis weight to prevent substantial sag of the article, e.g., during a forming operation.

A roofing composite membrane includes a base layer including a first thermoplastic polyolefin. A weight of the base layer is between 5 and 25 grams per square foot. A coating layer at least partially coats the base layer. The coating layer includes at least one inorganic additive, and a second thermoplastic polyolefin including polypropylene and having a melt flow rate between 0.5 grams per 10 minutes and 12 grams per 10 minutes.

The present disclosure relates to composites. One composite may include a resin and oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers. The oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers may be provided as a nonwoven fabric. An additional composite may include a resin and material scraps respectively including carbon fibers. The material scraps may be positioned to at least partially overlap one another and define a substantially continuous layer. The material scraps may be provided as a fabric and/or a plurality of loose fibers.

An inlet duct for an internal combustion engine includes a duct member made of a compression molded fiber material. The duct member includes a main body and end portions provided on opposite sides in an axial direction of the main body. The main body includes at least one high-compression portion and at least one low-compression portion, which is made through compression molding at a compression ratio lower than that of the at least one high-compression portion. The at least one low-compression portion extends throughout a length in the axial direction of the main body.

A process for the production of a polymeric article directed to (a)forming apply having successive layers, namely, (i) a first layer made up of strands of an oriented polymer material; (ii)a second layer of a polymeric material; (iii)a third layer made up of strands of an oriented polymeric material, wherein the second layer has a lower peak melting temperature that of the first and third layers; (b)subjecting the ply to conditions of time, temperature, and pressure sufficient to melt a proportion of the firsts layer to melt the second layer entirely, and to melt a proportion of the third layer, and to compact the ply; and (c)cooling the compacted ply. The resultant articles have good mechanical properties yet may be made at a lower compaction temperature than articles not employing the second layer, leading to a more controllable manufacturing process.

A carbon fiber reinforced plastic plate and a method of producing a carbon fiber reinforced plastic plate which can satisfy processability, smoothness after processing and strength are provided. A carbon fiber reinforced plastic plate includes: a first carbon fiber reinforced plastic layer including a carbon fiber woven fabric and a base material; and a second carbon fiber reinforced plastic layer including a carbon fiber nonwoven fabric and a base material and having a thickness of 3 mm or less, wherein the second carbon fiber reinforced plastic layer is laminated on the first carbon fiber reinforced plastic layer.
