Abstract: An impact energy dissipation plate for anti-ballistic armor, the dissipation plate including a damping material including a fibrous reinforcement bonded by an organic matrix including a thermosetting resin, the reinforcement including inorganic fibers assembled in the form of yarns, the damping material having the following features the volume fraction of fibrous reinforcement of the damping material is between 20% and 70%, the remainder to 100% including the matrix and porosity; the fibrous reinforcement includes at least 50% by volume of silica fiber yarns of which SiO2 content by mass of more than 90%, and the porosity of the damping material is between 2% and 10% by volume.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass-fiber textile structure, characterized in that it has a parylene (poly(para-xylylene)) coating with a thickness of between 5 ?m and 30 ?m, preferably between 6 ?m and 25 ?m, in particular between 7 and 20 ?m. The invention also relates to a method for reinforcing a solid material, which comprises introducing such a textile structure having a parylene coating into a fluid base material, preferably a base material comprising water and a hydraulic binder, and curing the base material.

Abstract: A hybrid woven textile for reinforcing a polymer matrix of a composite material that includes inorganic fibers selected from glass fibers, basalt fibers, carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, quartz fibers and silica fibers, and natural organic fibers, characterized in that the inorganic fibers and the natural organic fibers are co-woven, co-braided or co-knitted with one another.

Abstract: A sheet includes a carrier made of an electrically non-conductive material and at least one sensor wire associated with said carrier, wherein the wire reacts electrically to an exterior stress.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to a method of making a fire-resistant mine-grid comprising the following steps: providing a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisol, providing a polyester yarn mesh fabric, coating the polyester yarn mesh fabric with the PVC plastisol, heating the coated fabric for about 5 to 20 minutes, more preferably for about 5 to 15 minutes, to a temperature comprised between 110° C. and 150° C., so as to effect gelatinization of the PVC plastisol and form a plasticized PVC coating enveloping the polyester yarns of the mesh fabric, wherein the PVC plastisol, comprises (a) a poly(vinyl chloride) base resin, (b) from 60 to 140 phr of a primary plasticizer which is tris-(2-chloro-isopropyl)phosphate (TCPP), (c) from 40 to 140 phr of a secondary plasticizer, (d) from 145 to 230 phr of an inorganic filler.
