Abstract: This document presents a novel method of manufacturing multilayered nonwoven fabrics consisting of submicron fibers, hydroentangled, meltfibrillated, and/or spunlaid web layers. The composite multilayered webs contain one or more submicron fiber webs placed between inner and outer layers of hydroentangled, meltfibrillated, and/or spunlaid web, forming a fabric that may be utilized in the manufacture of articles which serve as barriers, wipes or sorbent materials, or may have other potential applications. The created novel composite multilayered fabric may have increased loft, softness and bending length, may not be solely dependent upon an electrostatic charge to repel small particles and microbes, and may be formed from a broad selection of natural, synthetic, and recycled polymers, including petroleum- and plant-based, allowing polymer selection based on article lifecycle.

Abstract: The field expedient repair kit may comprise an inner loadout storage roll and an outer storage system. The kit may store supplies that are intended for the performance of a field expedient task at a remote venue. As non-limiting examples, the field expedient task may be a repair, emergency medical procedure, military mission, or other activity. The kit may optimize space utilization to maximize the quantity of the supplies that may be carried within a given volume and footprint without hindering accessibility of the supplies. The kit may be operable to transport the supplies to the remote venue and be portable such that the kit may be carried by a person. The inner loadout storage roll may detachably couple to the interior of the outer storage system and may be unrolled to provide access to the supplies.
