  • Patent number: 11388942
    Abstract: Articles and methods of using and making adaptive garment portions are provided. An adaptive garment portion is one that has shifting surfaces with apertures that shift from an aligned to an offset orientation depending on environmental conditions/stimuli. For example, a first surface material and a second surface material may be coupled by a responsive material portion. The responsive material portion may physically change in response to a change in environmental conditions internal or external to the garment (e.g., thermal energy, moisture) and/or stimuli (e.g., light energy, electrical energy, magnetic fields). The physical change in the responsive material portion facilitates the planar shift of the first surface material relative to the second surface material.

  • Patent number: 11191158
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a pre-treated low Dk-type glass fabric for constituting a circuit board, comprising pre-treating low Dk-type glass fabric with a pre-treating varnish having a Dk close to the Dk of the used low Dk-type glass fabric at different temperatures and having a small Df. The present invention further provides a bonding sheet and a circuit board prepared thereby. The circuit boards prepared by the preparation process of the present invention have a Dk having small differences in warp and weft directions, and can effectively solve the problem of signal propagation delay. The circuit boards have a small Df, so as to have a small signal loss. Meanwhile, the cured, partially-cured or uncured dry glue obtained after drying the solvent of the pre-treating varnish has similar dielectric properties at different temperatures to the used low Dk-type glass fabric, so that the circuit boards have a very small signal propagation delay at different temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20110124255
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for coating a polymer nonwoven comprising the steps of: plasma and/or corona assisted treatment of the surface of the nonwoven to obtain a charged and/or polar surface; and formation of a first coating layer comprising at least one first charged and/or polar species, the first species being a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the overall charge or partial charge facing the nonwoven surface of the first species carries the opposite sign from the average charge introduced to the nonwoven fiber surface in step a).

  • Publication number: 20110104971
    Abstract: A fibrous article having a fabric-like surface and process of manufacturing same are provided. The fibrous article includes an outer fabric substrate; an intermediate fiber substrate; and an inner thermoplastic resin layer. A first thermoplastic resin is formed between the fabric substrate and the fiber substrate. The first thermoplastic resin is further formed between the fiber substrate and the thermoplastic resin layer. The thermoplastic resin layer is formed by injection molding by causing a second thermoplastic resin to react with the first thermoplastic resin. A person may have the feeling of touching fabric when touches the fibrous article.

  • Patent number: 7842624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vapor-pervious water-impervious substrate, preferably a fibrous nonwoven web, which can be used in particular as a textile continuous sheet material, for example as an awning or as an inlet in apparel. The substrate according to the present invention may have self-cleaning properties. The substrate according to the present invention is simple to produce in an at least two-step process wherein a coating on the fibers of the substrate is produced in the first step and then hydrophobic particles are applied to the coated fibers by means of an adhesion promoter.

  • Publication number: 20100291819
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of overmolded polyamide composites structures and processes for their preparation. The disclosed overmolded composite structures comprise a first component having a surface, which surface has at least a portion made of a surface polyamide resin composition, and having a fibrous material impregnated with a matrix resin composition, and comprise a second component comprising an overmolding resin composition. The second component is adhered to the first component over at least a portion of the surface of said first component. One of the overmolding resin composition and the surface polyamide resin composition is made of a polyamide composition comprising a blend of one or more semi-aromatic polyamides (A) and one or more fully aliphatic polyamides (B) and the other of the overmolding resin composition and the surface polyamide resin composition is made of one or more polyamides.
