Functionalized textile materials are provided. At least a portion of a textile surface in includes a ceramic material, such as a binderless porous structured ceramic, and optionally, one or more functional layer is applied, resulting in a textile material with one or more desirable functional properties, such as hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, flame retardancy, photocatalysis, anti-fouling, and/or deodorant properties.

A composite material having at least two layers of reinforcing fibers impregnated with a curable resin; an interlaminar region formed between adjacent layers of reinforcing fibers; and a combination of polymeric toughening particles and fire-retardant particles in the interlaminar region.

An article comprising: (a) one or more nonwoven material layers comprising a lofted fibrous material; and (b) one or more molded material layers having a fibrous matrix, wherein the article is configured to at least partially thermally insulate an item or compartment and the article absorbs external heat or cold to substantially prevent amplitude of temperature fluctuation of the item or within the compartment.

A multi-layered material with low thickness is provided, having properties of thermal and electric insulation, flame retardant capacity and high mechanical strength, useful for the manufacture of personal protective equipment and more in general of work items for the protection against arc flash effects. The material provides a high grade of protection against arc flash with good flexibility and comfort for the wearer, who is thus protected without being hindered in movements.

A hose is provided capable of meeting fireproof requirements per AS1055 under no flow condition. The hose has multiple layers including a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) flexible ceramic substrate layer disposed between first and second silicone rubber layers.

Provided are cementitious panel that include a swellable material within a core layer, a dense layer, and/or a sheet of facing material that make up a cementitious panel, as well as methods of manufacturing such cementitious panels that include a swellable material and methods of providing a moisture or water barrier in a cementitious panel.

Embodiments of the present invention may encompass gateline paddles that include a paddle body having a composite material forming an outer surface of the paddle body. The composite material may have a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface that define an open interior therebetween. The composite material may include a fiber-reinforced resin. The paddle body may include a cellular reinforcement member disposed within the open interior. The paddle body may include a mounting region formed along a lateral edge of the paddle body. The paddle body may include a mounting block disposed within a portion of the open interior disposed within the mounting region.

Provided are a glass substrate protective film including an optically transparent adhesive layer; a polyimide-based shatter-proof layer formed on the optically transparent adhesive layer; and a hard coating layer formed on the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer. The hard coating layer and the optically transparent adhesive layer have a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer has a thickness of 20 to 50 μm, the glass substrate protective film has an absolute value of a retardation in a thickness direction (R.sub.th) of 2000 nm or less, and an adhesive strength when the optically transparent adhesive layer adheres to the glass substrate is 200 gf/in or more. A method for manufacturing the glass substrate laminate and a display panel including the glass substrate laminate are also provided.

A multi-layered composite insulation material includes a first and second outer layers having one or more of para-aramid, meta-aramid, flame-retarded modacrylic, or pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers; and an inner layer disposed between the first and second outer layers having one or more of polyacrylonitrile fibers or ceramic fibers. The inner and outer layers are bonded via needle punching, thermal bonding, or stitch bonding. The outer layers further include flame-retardant rayon fibers and a woven or knit fabric having continuous high-temperature glass, silica, or ceramic filaments.

In the phenolic resin foam laminate board (10), a surface material (2) is arranged on at least one of one side of a phenolic resin foam (1) and the back side of the one side. The phenolic resin foam (1) has a density of not less than 22 kg/m.sup.3 and not more than 50 kg/m.sup.3, a cell diameter of not less than 50 μm and not more than 170 μm, and a closed cell ratio of not less than 80%. When HCFO-1224yd(Z), aliphatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 or less, chlorinated saturated hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 5 or less, and hydrofluoroolefin are gas components, the phenolic resin foam contains only HCFO-1224yd (Z) as a gas component. A cell internal pressure of air bubble is 0.20 atm or more.
