Abstract: Nonwoven battery separators, batteries comprising nonwoven battery separators, and methods of manufacturing nonwoven battery separators having improved durability and resilience for better in-service performance, more long-term durability, and safer battery products, wherein the nonwoven battery separator is coated with inorganic oxides.

Abstract: Nonwoven materials having at least one layer comprising high core bicomponent fibers are provided. The nonwoven materials can have multiple layers and are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in absorbent products. The nonwoven materials can have improved resiliency and strength and can retain their structure under wetted conditions and after tension and compression.

Abstract: Nonwoven materials having at least one layer comprising high core bicomponent fibers are provided. The nonwoven materials can have multiple layers and are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in absorbent products. Such nonwoven materials can be patterned to create a three-dimensional topography including indentations formed of valleys and ridges. The nonwoven materials can have improved resiliency and strength and can retain their structure under wetted conditions and after tension and compression. The nonwoven materials can further facilitate the transfer of the liquid through the nonwoven material for improved liquid distribution and can also have improved liquid retention properties.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to nonwoven materials and their use in cleaning articles. More particularly, the nonwovens are layered structures including a rough outer surface which are useful for scrubbing and cleaning purposes.
