Abstract: A polymer filament molded product and a method of making a filament network that includes coating filaments with a latex polymer and shaping the filaments into a molded product; one in which a polymer is shaped and molded into a larger filament network. The molded products can be objects for apparel, home and garden, furnishings, health care, engineering, industrial and consumer goods. The molded filament mesh is “fractal” in nature because it is a filament interconnected network at the molecular scale and at the scale of the molded product. The natural tendency of the long molecule filaments to be an entangled structure is maintained.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composite system for reinforcing, in particular, structures made from reinforced concrete or masonry comprising a curable or cured matrix and a textile reinforcement grid, and said two elements taken as such. The aim of the invention is for this system to make it possible to produce a cured composite structure having improved mechanical properties, both in the short term and in the long term (e.g. flexing behaviour, hardness, bending/compression resistance, durability, cohesion). This aim is achieved by the system of the invention in which the grid comprises at least one layer formed: —both from a framework consisting of flat warp yarns and weft yarns; —and from a network binding the framework; characterised in that the binding network is such that it ensures the geometric regularity and dimensional stability of the meshes of the framework, before the grid is applied to the structure to be reinforced.

Abstract: According to exemplary inventive practice, ceramic powder or slurry is selectively deposited at many discrete locations on each of many fiberglass fabric substrates. The sizes and/or shapes of the ceramic deposits vary among the substrates. The substrates are selectively ordered and stacked so that perpendicular through-plane alignments of respective ceramic deposits form selected three-dimensional geometric shapes. The resultant stack of substrates, characterized by many three-dimensional ceramic inclusions, is impregnated with an elastomer or an epoxy that binds the ceramic-deposited substrates together, resulting in a finished composite product. Inventive composite structures can be multifariously designed and embodied to afford selected ballistic and/or structural and/or electromagnetic qualities.

Abstract: Printed textiles and related manufacturing methods are provided. Textile materials can include laced mesh fabrics made of rigid components. The laced mesh structures are designed for space applications, including but not limited to adaptive and foldable reflectors, capturing systems, debris and micrometeorite shielding, shading systems, sample capturing, and various other applications. The laced mesh structures are used in the generation of tailored, unique radio-frequency antennas and receivers that allow for active tuning/receiving capabilities. The tailored structure can also include multi-material systems mixing dielectric and conductive layers for enhanced, tunable transmission. Laced mesh structures can also be used for enhanced thermal control of components, with the ability to tailor thermal conductivity and emissivity, to create thermal engineered components via the generation of localized or global thermal response (e.g. zone thermal control).
