  • Patent number: 5922445
    Abstract: A sheet-like composite material which is obtained by coating or impregnating a fibrous base material with an elastic polymeric substance, in which the fibers constituting the fibrous base material and the elastic polymeric substance are prevented from bonding with each other, and which is extremely flexible and has excellent wear resistance and an extremely high peel strength, which material may be produced for example by applying a hydrophobicizing treatment to the fibrous base material, then impregnating or coating a solution of the elastic polymeric substance to which a hydrophilic silicone has been added, and wet solidifying.
