Abstract: An article comprising a plurality of layers or in form of powder or slurry, the layers comprising: one or more nonwoven layers (16) of powder or slurry; wherein each of the one or more nonwoven layers or powder or slurry has a temperature resistance of about 800° C. or greater; and wherein the article is adapted to provide thermal insulation for an exhaust pipe. The layer is between an inner wall (14) and outer wall (12) of a double-wall exhaust pipe (10).

Abstract: An article comprising a plurality of layers, the layers comprising: one or more nonwoven layers; wherein each of the one or more nonwoven layers has a temperature resistance of about 200° C. or greater; and wherein the article is adapted to provide thermal insulation for a battery and avoid and/or contain fire propagation during a battery thermal runaway event.

Abstract: An article comprising: (a) one or more lofted fibrous material layers comprising a lofted fibrous material; and (b) one or more nonwoven layers having a fibrous matrix; wherein the article is configured for thermoacoustic applications to thermally insulate an item or compartment; and wherein the article absorbs external heat to substantially prevent amplitude of temperature of the item or within the compartment and also substantially prevents noise fluctuation radiated by the item or out of the compartment. The article may also include one or more metallic layers disposed on one or more exterior surfaces of the article, wherein the one or more metallic layers are aluminum laminated glass cloth, aluminum foil, stainless steel, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the one or more metallic layers may also be embossed, micro-perforated, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An article comprising: (a) one or more nonwoven material layers comprising a lofted fibrous material; and (b) one or more molded material layers having a fibrous matrix, wherein the article is configured to at least partially thermally insulate an item or compartment and the article absorbs external heat or cold to substantially prevent amplitude of temperature fluctuation of the item or within the compartment.

Abstract: A reinforcement structure (10) comprising an inner member (14) at least partially secured within a shell (12), wherein the inner member is secured within the shell so that one or more abutment portions (18 of the shell are positioned in receiving portions (20) of the inner member, to create at least a partial press-fit condition between the inner member and the shell.

Abstract: An insulation material having three or more layers, the layers including a metallic facing; and one or more nonwoven layers. One or more of the layers may be a needle punched layer. Each nonwoven layer may have a temperature resistance of about 400° C. or greater. The insulation material may be used for surrounding and insulating a battery, such as a battery for an electric vehicle.

Abstract: A reinforcement structure (10) comprising an inner member (14) at least partially secured within a shell (12), wherein the inner member is secured within the shell so that one or more abutment portions (18) of the shell are positioned in receiving portions (20) of the inner member, to create at least a partial press-fit condition between the inner member and the shell.
