Electronic equipment may include structured fabric. Structured fabric may be used as a protective case or cosmetic cover for an electronic device, may be used to form a band that holds an electronic device against a user's body, or may be used to cover one or more openings in an electronic device. Structured fabrics may be soft and pliable while maintaining the ability to hold a given shape without added support. Structured fabric may be formed by laminating fabric such as warp-knit fabric with a stiffener such as polymer film. Structured fabrics may include openings through which signals such as optical or audio signals pass. To maintain the geometry and shape of the openings in the structured fabric without covering the openings, the stiffener and adhesive that are attached to the fabric may be cut to form a pattern of openings that align with the openings in the fabric.

A process for fabricating a three-dimensional, multi-layered fabric product with a moisture barrier is provided. A partially seamed inner lining fabric assembly having at least a two-dimensional shape is laminated with a membrane barrier film having flaps left un-laminated to cover at least one seam. The inner lining fabric assembly is further seamed and flaps of the of the membrane barrier film overlapped into contact with each other and sealed to provide a continuous moisture barrier. A process for fabricating a stretchable section of a garment with a moisture barrier is also provided. At least a section of a garment is formed from fibers arranged in a pattern having a direction of stretch in one direction and a three-dimensional surface texture such that a portion of the fibers protrude above another portion of the fibers. The stretchable section is stretched in the direction of stretch. Segments of a membrane barrier film are adhered to an outer edge of the protruding portion of the fibers while the section is stretched in the direction of stretch, leaving intermediate segments of the barrier film free from adherence to the section. In this way, the intermediate segments of the membrane barrier film include slack that folds up to form ruches when the section is in a relaxed state.

A multi-layer fabric construction for protection from airborne toxic chemical agents comprises an optional inner comfort layer, a carbon layer, an adsorbent adhesive layer comprising a metal organic framework material, a vapor permeable layer, and an outer layer. The multi-layer fabric construction is substantially free of air pockets to reduce the thermal burden on an individual wearing a garment fabricated from the multi-layer fabric construction. The MOF can be a zirconium MOF. Also disclosed is a method of making the multi-layer fabric construction.

The tape incudes a water vapor-permeable air and water barrier article and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The air and water barrier article includes a fibrous layer having first and second major surfaces and a polymeric layer on a first major surface of the fibrous layer that penetrates into the fibrous layer but leaves at least some fibers exposed on the second major surface. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer is on the polymeric layer of the air and water barrier article. The tape can retain greater than 50 percent by weight of mortar applied according to the Vertical Mortar Receptivity Evaluation. The article includes a substrate, the tape, and a composite layer comprising at least one of gypsum, lime, or cement. The composite layer is at least one of dried or cured on the second major surface of the fibrous layer. Methods of making the article are also described.

A flexible multilayer battery pack insulator for an electric vehicle having a multilayer wall including a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers includes an inner layer of mineral material having an inner surface and an outer surface, and an outer layer of mineral material having an inner surface and an outer surface. A flame-resistant coating, including silicone and mica, bonded to at least one of the plurality of layers. An adhesive layer bonded to the outer surface of the inner layer, and at least one filament fixing the plurality of layers to one another.

A combined carpet is provided. The combined carpet includes an upper carpet body and a lower carpet body. The upper carpet body includes a first layer and a first attaching layer under the first layer; the lower carpet body is configured to be paved between the upper carpet and an object surface, and includes a second attaching layer and a second layer under the second attaching layer. An edge area of the first attaching layer extends beyond the second attaching layer to contact the object surface and does not overlap with the second attaching layer, a main area of the first attaching layer and the second attaching layer body realize a relative rest through a static friction force, to prevent relative movement when the upper and lower carpet bodies are connected, thereby forming a detachable combination between the upper carpet body and the lower carpet body.
