Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyester fiber that can be applied to a fabric for airbag, particularly, to a polyester fiber having an elongation of 0.4% or less at the stress of 1.0 g/d, an enlongation of 4.0% or less at the stress of 4.0 g/d, and an enlongation of 7.0% or less at the stress of 7.0 g/d, and an initial modulus of 105 to 130 g/d; a method of preparing the same; and a fabric for airbag prepared therefrom. Since the polyester fiber of the present invention decreases stiffness remarkably and secures superior mechanical properties by having a high strength, high elongation, and high shrinkage, it is possible to provide superior packing property, dimensional stability, and air-tight effect, and to protect passengers safely by minimizing the impact applied to the passengers, when it is used for the fabric for airbag.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a woven-fabric adhesive tape, more particularly a cable-wrapping tape, comprising a tape-shaped woven-fabric backing having at least one adhesive coating applied to at least one side of the backing. The woven-fabric backing is formed from warp threads and weft threads and the linear density of the weft threads in dtex is greater than the linear density of the warp threads in dtex. The width-based linear density of the warp threads in dtex/cm is less than the length-based linear density of the weft threads in dtex/cm.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a ceramic material includes impregnating a porous structure with a mixture that includes a preceramic polymer and a filler. The filler includes at least one free metal. The preceramic polymer material is then rigidized to form a green body. The green body is then thermally treated to convert the rigidized preceramic polymer material into a ceramic matrix located within pores of the porous structure. The same thermal treatment or a second, further thermal treatment is used to cause the at least one free metal to move to internal porosity defined by the ceramic matrix or pores of the porous structure.

Abstract: Opaque flakes, such as pigment or bright flakes used in paints and inks, have a selected shape and/or other indicia to provide a covert security feature to an object. Shaped opaque covert flakes are not readily detectable by causal observation, but in some embodiments are easily seen at 50× magnification. In manufacturing the flakes a sheet of embossed frames are provided having embossed symbols or indicia within. Upon removing a coating from the embossed sheet the coating material tends to break along frame lines or grooves and the resulting flakes are substantially uniform in size. In order to have the flakes break along frame lines or grooves more readily than along the embossing or grooves defining indicia within a frame, the frames are provided with a deeper groove than indicia grooves. As well a groove having a different shaped profile conducive to breakage can be used for the frame grooves whereas a groove having a profile less conducive to breakage can be used to form the indicia grooves.

Foil wrapping holds the foam strip in a compressed state and comprises a tear-open tab extending in the longitudinal direction of the sealing tape for opening the wrapping to allow the foam strip to expand, and includes an adhesive tape located in the area of the bottom surface of the foam strip. The wrapping surrounds the two lateral surfaces and the top surface of the foam strip, has a first edge strip, which covers a first edge area of the bottom surface of the foam strip, and a second edge strip, which covers a second edge area of the bottom surface of the foam strip opposite the first edge area. The adhesive tape is bonded adhesively to the two edge strips and holds them in place but can be separated from them by pulling.
