The present disclosure relates to an step artificial leather having visual penetration and a manufacturing method thereof. The artificial leather includes a thermoplastic substrate, a thermoplastic adhering layer, and a thermoplastic surface layer. The thermoplastic substrate has fiber net shape, and has visual penetration. The thermoplastic adhering layer is disposed on the thermoplastic substrate. The thermoplastic surface layer is disposed on the thermoplastic adhering layer. The thermoplastic surface layer and the thermoplastic adhering layer are transparent. Therefore, the artificial leather of the present disclosure has visual penetration effect. The product made from the artificial leather of the present disclosure has attractive appearance and diversity.

According to one embodiment, a composite includes a substrate and an optically transparent resin layer formed on the substrate. The substrate includes a woven fabric and a composition layer formed on the woven fabric and including tetrafluoroethylene resin and silicon dioxide.

An artificial turf includes translucent thatch yarn fibers and opaque face yarn fibers that are integrated in a carrier.

An item such as a fabric-based item may have a layer of fabric with openings that are illuminated by a light source. The openings may form symbols or other shapes and may serve as labels for keyboard keys or other components. The fabric may be formed from transparent strands of material that are coated with opaque material or may be formed from opaque strands of material in which openings are formed by laser drilling. The openings may be covered with a transparent coating layer such as a translucent polymer coating. Translucent material on the fabric may be patterned to form parts of the labels or other shapes created by the illuminated openings.

A light transmissive carpet includes a pile including strands of a light transmissive yarn. The light transmissive yarn includes a fiber blend of interspersed colored fibers and unpigmented fibers. The unpigmented fibers in the light transmissive yarn are translucent and transmit light therethrough.

A method of preparing a translucent film comprising the steps of providing a thermoplastic polymer, using the polymer to prepare a first composition containing the polymer and a second composition containing the polymer, mixing the first composition and a pigment to obtain a masterbatch containing 1 mass % to less than 30 mass % of the pigment, mixing the second composition and the masterbatch to obtain a film raw material having a pigment content of 0.05 mass % to 5.0 mass %, and processing the film raw material to obtain the film; a translucent film having uniformly distributed pigments; a composite structure containing the film; and the used of the film and the composite structure as a coating in the interior of a vehicle.

A biotextile for a plant-based leather product comprises a partially or fully biodegradable composite including: a polymer matrix comprising a bio-based polymer, and a cellulosic material dispersed in the polymer matrix. At least one property of the composite is sufficient to meet an industrial standard for leather or vinyl. A method of making the composite may include heating and mixing a formulation comprising bio-based polymer, a plasticizer, and a cellulosic material to form a molten mixture, extruding the molten mixture to form an extruded body having a predetermined shape, and cooling the extruded body to form a composite having the predetermined shape, which may be a sheet, rod, pellet, or granule. The composite includes a polymer matrix comprising the bio-based polymer with the cellulosic material dispersed therein. A plant-based feedstock material comprising the composite may be used as a raw material for injection molding or 3D printing.
