The present disclosure relates to a multilayer composite that may include a first barrier layer and a first foam layer. The first foam layer may include a polyurethane-based matrix component, and a flame retardant filler component. The multilayer component may also have a HBF flammability rating as measured according to ASTM D4986.

The present application relates to the technical field of composite film, and more particularly, to a diaphragm composite material and a preparation method thereof. The diaphragm composite material includes a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film layer, an aluminum-plated film layer, an aerogel layer, and an elastic adhesive layer disposed between the PEN film layer and the aluminum-plated film layer for bonding the PEN film layer and the aluminum-plated film layer, the aerogel layer is coated on one side of the aluminum-plated film layer away from the elastic adhesive layer. The diaphragm composite layer of the present application has high strength and strong rigidity, has better vibration dampening and noise-reducing effects, and wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant effects, and is worthy of popularization.

A vehicle cargo construct including a floor, a plurality of side wall panels extending from the floor, and an end wall panel extending from the floor between the plurality of side wall panels. The floor has an exterior surface and an oppositely opposed interior surface. Each of the plurality of side wall panels has an exterior surface and an oppositely opposed interior surface. The has an exterior surface and an oppositely opposed interior surface. Each of the floor, the plurality of side wall panels, and the end wall panel are formed of a composite sandwich panel material formed including an open area core defining a plurality of pores disposed between a backing sheet and a surface sheet formed of a sheet molding composition (SMC) reinforced with unidirectional fibers.

An appliance has an insulated compartment with a door that is movable between a closed position and an open position for accessing an interior cavity of the insulated compartment. A window panel is disposed at the door for viewing the interior cavity when the door in in the closed position. A display overlays at least a portion of the window panel, so as to display information that is visible at an exterior surface of the door. The display is also at least partially transparent for viewing the interior cavity through the window panel and the display. A transparent thermal insulator is disposed between the window panel and the display to prevent the interior cavity from heating or cooling the display outside of an operating temperature range.

A stitched fabric including a foam core and a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the foam core, where the yarn extends over at least a majority of a width and a length of the stitched fabric. In some cases, the yarn and the foam core are free from contact by another layer on either side of the foam core. In some cases, a barrier layer is disposed over at least one side of the foam core and a melted portion of the barrier layer fills a portion of the stitch holes. In some cases, the foam core is a closed cell aerogel foam core.

A stitched fabric including a barrier layer; a yarn stitched through and forming stitch holes in the barrier layer, and a foam core formed over the barrier layer. A melted portion of the barrier layer fills at least a portion of the stitch holes. The foam core is prevented from progressing further into the stitched fabric by the barrier layer. As such, the barrier layer is configured to control a depth to which the foam core penetrates into the stitched fabric. The foam core may be formed over at least a portion of the yarn. A second foam core may be formed on a side of the barrier layer opposite the foam core.

Battery thermal management materials, compositions and systems are provided. Exemplary embodiments include a battery thermal management member. The battery thermal management member can include a heat protection layer and a resilient layer. Also provided are methods of preparing or manufacturing such battery thermal management members. In certain embodiments, the heat protection layer can include mica, microporous silica, ceramic fiber, mineral wool, aerogel or combinations thereof.

A fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 8 μm and about 20 μm. The glass microfibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 0.5 μm and about 3 μm. The glass microfibers may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers. The aerogel particles may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers and the glass microfibers. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles. The binder bonds the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together.

Thermal management systems are disclosed. One thermal management system includes a first element, a second element adjacent the first element, and an optional third element adjacent the second element and opposed to the first element. The first element and the optional third element include a flexible graphite article, which may have the same or different physical properties. The second element includes an insulation material, such as an aerogel-based insulation material or a porous polymer matrix such as an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. Also disclosed are electronic devices that include the thermal management systems to manage the heat generated therein to reduce or eliminate hot spots or for other purposes.

Embodiments disclosed herein include a stitched filtering fabric including a barrier layer configured to inhibit air flow through the filtering fabric, a yarn stitched through and forming a plurality of stitch holes in the barrier layer, and a first yarn layer comprising interlocking loops of the yarn. The barrier layer is configured to direct air flow through the yarn within the stitched holes.
