In a first embodiment, the invention provides a composite fabric which contains a first fabric layer and a thin film. The first fabric layer has an upper and lower side and contains a plurality of synthetic polymer fibers. The synthetic polymer fibers contain at least 15% of bio-based carbon content as measured by ASTM D26866-20 Method B. The thin film is located on the lower side of the first fabric layer and contains at least 15% of biobased carbon content as measured by ASTM D26866-20 Method B. The thin film has an average weight of less than about 30 GSM and has an air permeability of less than about 1 CFM as measured by ASTM D737 @ 125 Pa.

An insulation board assembly, having: a foam insulation board; a top facer attached onto a top side of the foam insulation board, the top facer being made of woven material; and a bottom facer attached onto a bottom side of the foam insulation board, the bottom facer being made of woven material. The top and bottom woven facers may have upper and lower coatings and non-woven layers on either side and woven and non-woven layers may be held together with a tie layer.

Components of articles that include an optical element that imparts structural color to the component are provided. Methods of making the components including the optical element, and methods of using the components such as to make an article of manufacture are provided.

The present invention relates to a fabric comprising three superimposed layers, wherein the first layer is a textile, the second layer is an adhesive and the third layer comprises cork, the fabric being characterised in that the adhesive is a biodegradable water-based adhesive containing at least one polymer. The invention further relates to the method for obtaining said fabric, to the use thereof in the production of objects, as well as to said objects as such.

A method of creating an engineered textile includes placing a yarn-wound jig on an upper surface of a substrate, selectively printing or extruding a bonding material across the plurality of arranged yarn strands, solidifying the bonding material to bond adjacent ones of the plurality of arranged yarn strands together and form a bound plurality of arranged yarn strands, and removing the bound plurality of arranged yarn strands from the substrate and the frame.

Composite ceramic materials are disclosed in which an interconnected network of ceramic material on a substrate contains pores with an accessible pore volume that is at least partially filled with a polymer, resin, and/or wax.

Surface modifications and coating materials are provided that may be applied to a substrate to reduce or eliminate damage that would accrue to do environmental effects or operational stress when incorporated into a device such as a heat exchanger. Structured ceramic surface modification materials may be incorporated into the surface modification and may optionally include a gradient in one or more physical or chemical property.
