A dehumidifying element includes a plurality of sheets that have moisture adsorption and desorption properties and that are stacked on top of each another. At least some of the sheets each have an irregular shape. The sheets each contain a hygroscopic agent having properties of a re-moistening-type glue that exhibits adherence when adsorbing moisture and that solidifies when being dried. The sheets are bonded to each other by the hygroscopic agent.

Described is a composite made from a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, or a knitted face fabric and a non-woven fabric. The woven fabric, the non-woven fabric, or the knitted face fabric is needle punched such that fibers protrude into the non-woven fabric. The woven fabric, the non-woven fabric, or the knitted face fabric has a first polymer having a first melting point and a second polymer having a second melting point being higher than the first melting point. The nonwoven backing material comprises a third polymer having a third melting point and a fourth polymer having a fourth melting point being higher than the third melting point. The woven fabric, the non-woven fabric, or the knitted face fabric is further bonded to the nonwoven backing material applying heat to at least partially melt or soften the first polymer and the third polymer such that they bond together.

A nonwoven fabric sheet exhibiting high flame shielding performance, heat insulating property, and wear resistance is described, where the nonwoven fabric sheet is fabricated and includes at least one fire barrier layer formed of a web containing a non-melting fiber A having a high-temperature shrinkage rate of 3% or less and a thermal conductivity conforming to ISO22007-3 (2008) of 0.060 W/m.Math.K or less and in which the fire barrier layer is coupled with a scrim layer containing a carbide-forming heat resistant fiber B having a LOI value conforming to JIS K 7201-2 (2007) of 25 or more.

Nonwoven multilayer structures having at least two nanofiber layers are described herein. The nonwoven multilayer structure may have two nanofibers layers that have different properties from each other, such as fiber diameter. One nanofiber layer may be produced by an electrospinning process, while another nanofiber layer may be produced by a melt blown process.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered composite garment material comprising at least a fabric layer and a functionalized adhesive sheet layer. The present invention also relates to a functionalized adhesive sheet or film comprising 3D adhesive structures embossed on the sheet or film. The sheet or film can be used to bind multiple garment layers while maintaining or enhancing the characteristics of the individual garment layers.

An artificial turf contains a damping layer made of a particle foam, a fiber backing, and an artificial grass layer made of single or multiple fibers. The fibers are tied to the fiber backing, forming an artificial carpet of grass. The particle foam and the single or multiple fibers forming the artificial grass layer are each made of a thermoplastic elastomer.

Disclosed is a grain-finished leather-like sheet including: a fiber base material; a polyurethane intermediate layer stacked on the fiber base material; and a polyurethane skin film stacked directly on the polyurethane intermediate layer or via another polyurethane layer, wherein the polyurethane skin film contains a silicone-modified polyurethane, and the grain-finished leather-like sheet has an uneven surface whose skewness (Ssk), kurtosis (Sku), and maximum height (Sz) of surface roughness in accordance with ISO 25178 respectively satisfy −0.4≤Ssk≤−0.2, 3≤Sku≤4, 60 μm≤Sz≤150 μm.

A laminate includes a core structure having a first surface and a second surface, the core structure including an elastic core layer and a plastic core layer, wherein the elastic core layer is one of a film, a plurality of strands, and a plurality of strips, and wherein the plastic core layer is one of a film layer, a plurality of strands, and a plurality of strips, the plastic core structure reinforcing the core layer in the machine direction, and a nonwoven first facing layer affixed to the first surface.

A non-woven fabric composite and an article including the same are provided. The non-woven fabric includes an electrostatically treated meltblown non-woven fabric layer and a spunbond non-woven fabric layer on one or both sides thereof, and has a fine dust removal performance retention ratio, represented by Equation 1, of 80% or more:

Fine dust removal performance retention ratio (%)=(fine dust removal efficiency after accelerated aging treatment)/(fine dust removal efficiency before accelerated aging treatment)×100  [Equation 1]

wherein, in this equation, the fine dust is an aerosol containing sodium chloride dispersed in air, and the accelerated aging treatment refers to a case where the non-woven fabric composite is stored at a temperature of 70° C. for 3 days.
