A filtering film includes a porous substrate and a membrane disposed on the porous substrate. The membrane includes a plurality of fibers of one or more bio-degradable materials. The fibers have an average diameter of about 50 nm to about 3 μm. The one or more bio-degradable materials has a melt flow index of at least 5 g/10 min at 210° C. at a load of 2.16 kg.

Air filters and masks containing activated carbon cloth material, optionally with silver included, are described that are effective at removing virus from the air, immobilizing, and inactivating. The filters and masks can immobilize and inactivate a virus. The filters and masks are useful for protecting a user against coronavirus such as SARS-CoV-2.

A flexible insulation material may be configured to substantially reduce the amount of radiation transmitted therethrough by incorporating a reflective mat of high temperature fibers that withstand temperatures of at least 500° C. The flexible insulation may be stored and used over temperatures ranging from −270° C. to 5000° C. The mat may have optical properties to produce a transmittance of no more than 5% over a range of temperature from 500° C. to 5000 vC. The mat may include high temperature fibers such as carbon and/or silicon carbide and these fibers may be coupled by a binder in a non-woven fabric. The flexible insulation material may be configured in the Flexible Thermal Protection System of a deployable aerodynamic decelerator or a Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator and may be durably flexible.

A heating pad includes a heat pad with an anterior and posterior side. The heat pad includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The second layer is located in between the first layer and the third layer. The first layer is located on the posterior side, while the third layer is located on the anterior side. The second layer has a wire selectively heated to increase the temperature of the heat pad. The third layer is a reflective material positioned to reflect heat from the second layer towards the first layer, decreasing heat emitted on the anterior side of the heat pad. The heating pad also includes a battery storage section for securing a battery. The battery is in electronical communication with the wire of the heat pad. The heating pad further includes an engagement mechanism to secure the heating pad to a user.

Web material structuring belts that impart structure to a web material during a web material structuring operation and/or structured web material forming operation, method for making same and methods for using same to make structured web materials, for example structured fibrous structures, such as structured sanitary tissue products such as structured toilet tissue, structured paper towels and structured facial tissue are provided.

A sensor device has an insulative non-woven fabric and a conductive fabric forming an electrode. The conductive fabric is joined to one surface of the non-woven fabric by at least one of fusion and seaming.

The disclosure provides a textile having a photothermal absorber layer, which comprises a conjugated polymer; and a transmissive layer, which comprises fibers that forward scatter incident visible light with a transmission of 60% or greater. The photothermal absorber layer can be nylon coated with a conjugated polymer, such as PEDOT. The transmissive layer can be a non-woven polypropylene material. The disclosure also provides wearables, such as a clothing, comprising such textile, and methods for making the same.

A thermal insulation and fire protection felt product is provided. The felt product includes a first layer including a first plurality of nonwoven mechanically entangled oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers bonded together by a first plurality of melted thermoplastic polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fibers homogeneously mixed with the first plurality of mechanically entangled PAN precursor fibers. The first plurality of melted thermoplastic PPS fibers form a matrix of bond points between individual fibers of the first plurality of mechanically entangled PAN fibers. A second layer includes a second plurality of nonwoven mechanically entangled oxidized PAN precursor fibers bonded together by a second plurality of melted thermoplastic PPS fibers homogeneously mixed with the second plurality of mechanically entangled PAN precursor fibers. The second plurality of melted thermoplastic PPS fibers form a matrix of bond points between individual fibers of the second plurality of mechanically entangled PAN fibers.

The invention discloses an antibacterial deodorant quick-drying mask comprising a mask body and a strap, wherein the mask body comprises a water repellent outer cloth layer, a first upright cotton layer, a first needle-punched cotton layer, a melt-blown cloth layer, a second needle-punched cotton layer, a second upright cotton layer and an inner functional cloth layer. The inner functional cloth layer is woven by antibacterial yarns and spandex yarns, and a quick-drying aid is added into the inner functional cloth layer. The invention has the functions of antibiosis, deodorization and quick-drying, has soft hand feeling, is safe to use and high in comfort level and filtering rate, does not wrinkle, and enables the mask to keep the original contour all the time.
