It is an object of the invention to provide a heat-resistant vacuum insulation panel having two heat-resistant protective layers to improve fire protection, in particular at locations of the vacuum insulation panel subject to mechanical stress.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.

A structural panel and method of fabricating and manufacturing same comprises a top panel and a bottom panel separated by and attached to at least one, but preferably a plurality, of structural composite preforms which may be fabricated by a continuous manufacturing process and may be saturated by resin using a continuous wetting process. The composite preforms may take any cross sectional shape but are preferably trapezoidal. The top and bottom panels may be fabricated from a plurality of layers of woven fabric layers and non-woven fabric layers which are saturated with a resin that is subsequently cured using cure processes known in the art. The composite structural panel of the invention is usable as a flat structural member for use as bridge decking, ramps, trestles, and any application requiring a structural panel.

A fiber reinforced resin composite for ballistic protection comprising a plurality of first and second plies wherein the first and second plies further comprise a woven fabric and a polymeric resin. The fabric has a Russell tightness factor of from 0.2 to 0.7 and a cover factor of at least 0.45, The fabric is impregnated with the resin, the resin comprising from 5 to 30 weight percent of the total weight of fabric plus resin. The fabric of each first and second ply comprises regions wherein the fabric is distorted from an orthogonal woven state by a distortion angle of least 30 degrees. The composite may further comprising a third ply having a surface area no greater than 50% of the surface area of a first and second ply. The ratio of the number of first plus second plies to the number of third plies is from 2:1 to 12:1.

The anti-slip mat includes a covering layer and a structural layer. The covering layer is formed with a plurality of apertures. The structural layer has a predetermined thickness and has a plurality of through holes extending vertically. The covering layer is disposed on a top face of the structural layer. The apertures communicate the through holes. The structural layer is weaved by a water-proofing fiber to form a three-dimensional structure. Each aperture has an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of each through hole.

A panel filter includes a first media layer constructed from a first material that is permeable to air and impermeable to particulates of a targeted size or type, a support grid, and a second media layer constructed from a second material that is permeable to air. The second media layer is adhesively coupled to the first media layer without a mechanical seal. When the first media layer and second media layer are coupled, the support grid is retained between the first media layer and the second media layer.

An architectural covering with an operable vane having a fabric backing is provided. The vane may include a vane fabric and a backing material connected to the vane fabric by a layer of adhesive. The backing material may increase a machine-direction stiffness of the vane while slightly affecting a cross-direction stiffness of the vane. As such, the vane may have increased stiffness in its machine direction while simultaneously remaining flexible in its cross direction.

A composite includes a first layer of a first fluoropolymer; a second layer of at least one ply of a reinforcing fabric overlying the first layer; and a third layer of a second fluoropolymer overlying the second layer opposite to the first layer, wherein the first layer, the third layer, or combination thereof have an outer surface that is defect free; wherein the composite has a continuous length of at least about 3 meters. Embodiments of such composites can find applications, for example, as processing aids for an electronic device, a food, a polymer, insulating an electrical device, or heat sealing a polymer.

A plastic rattan mat glue injection and penetration structure and a processing method thereof are provided. Two plastic layers are respectively provided on end portions at two sides of a rattan mat, and protruding structures are respectively formed on the end portions of the rattan mat. Furthermore, glue injection intervals of the rattan mat are defined by glue injection molds, and each of the glue injection intervals is disposed between the glue injection molds and a side of the rattan mat.

Provided is a laminate that is excellent in flexibility and has a high bending strength. Also provided is a reinforcing sheet including such laminate. The laminate of the present invention is a laminate including an adhesive layer and a constraining layer, wherein the constraining layer includes an impregnated layer obtained by impregnating a multilayer base material, which is obtained by laminating a plurality of reinforcing fiber sheet-shaped products in each of which reinforcing fiber yarns are arranged in parallel and knitting the products with a stitching thread to integrate the products, with a thermosetting resin composition. The reinforcing sheet of the present invention includes the laminate of the present invention.
