It is provided an airbag multilayer complex excellent in flexibility and durability by controlling adhesion between an adhesive layer and a base fabric to a predetermined range, and an airbag using it. This disclosure is an airbag multilayer complex comprising a base fabric and a multilayer film including an outer layer and an adhesive layer that is bonded to one surface of the base fabric. The adhesive strength of the interface between the multilayer film and the base fabric is 5 N/cm or more, the difference in loop stiffness between the airbag multilayer complex and the base fabric is 130 mN/cm or less, the adhesive layer contains a first resin having a hydrogen-bonding capacity, and the difference in Hansen solubility parameter (ΔHSP) between the base fabric and the first resin is 5 MPa.sup.0.5 or less.

The present invention relates to the field of air filtration, in particular to a polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material and a preparation method and uses thereof. The polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material comprises a support layer and a polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane layer, and the support layer and the polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane layer are compounded by an adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises a two-component polyurethane adhesive, a pore forming agent and an inorganic filler. The present invention adopts a two-component solvent-free polyurethane adhesive, and by adding a low-temperature pore forming agent and an inorganic filler, the pore forming agent forms an irregular pore channel structure at the bonding interface during curing, and the inorganic filler prevents the adhesive from entering the micropores of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, so that the air permeability and filtration efficiency of the polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane are not affected after compounding; and the prepared polytetrafluoroethylene composite filter material has good air permeability, high peel strength, good filtration efficiency and good barrier effect.

Electric surface temperature control system for a floor, wall or ceiling construction, with at least one heating cable, with at least one carrier plate, which includes a first plate side, which is provided to rest on a ground and includes a second plate side, which is opposite the first plate side and is provided for receiving a contact agent, such as mortar or adhesive, and with a first functional layer arranged on the second plate side, and a second functional layer is provided on the heating cable at least in sections, said second functional layer is formed from a hook tape and the heating cable can be fastened on the carrier plate by the first functional layer and second functional layer with the formation of a hook-and-loop fastener.

The invention relates to a method for producing an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element having a four-layered structure made from a first foam layer, a second foam layer, a non-woven foam layer and a non-woven fabric layer. The invention further relates to an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element.

A disposable surgical gown is provided. The gown includes a front panel and sleeves formed from a first spunbond layer, a nonwoven (e.g., SMS) laminate, and a liquid impervious, moisture vapor breathable elastic film disposed therebetween. The gown also includes a first and second rear panels formed from a nonwoven laminate that is air breathable and allows for an air volumetric flow rate ranging from about 20 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) to about 80 scfm. The gown further includes a collar formed from an air breathable knit material positioned adjacent a proximal end of the gown. The collar defines a neck opening having a v-neck shape adjacent the front panel. The v-neck shape forms an angle of greater than 90° at the neck opening. The combination of features results in a reduced-glare gown that is stretchable and impervious to liquids, yet can still dissipate heat and humidity.

A composite structure of a cargo body and a method of making the same are disclosed. The composite structure includes at least one electrical grid embedded within fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) layers.
