A protective article formed of a laminate between at least a layer of a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable barrier, and at least a layer of a stretchable or elastomeric, nonwoven fiber web is described. The barrier is reinforced at least on one side by the nonwoven fiber web, which remains elastic after being bonded to the barrier layer. The elasticity of both barrier and bonded fiber layers simulate the flexibility of natural or synthetic latex or other polymer films. The nonwoven fiber web includes at least about 75% of individual fibers with a length of over about 1 mm, and the fibers are substantially continuous. A second nonwoven web, a second barrier layer, or both may be attached to the exterior side of the breathable barrier. An elastomeric material coating, such as either a nature or synthetic latex or other polymers, may be applied over at least a portion of the article to provide for additional protection.

The assemblies of the invention can comprise a fine fiber layer having dispersed within the fine fiber layer an active particulate material. Fluid that flows through the assemblies of the invention can have any material dispersed or dissolved in the fluid react with, be absorbed by, or adsorbed onto, the active particulate within the nanofiber layer. The structures of the invention can act simply as reactive, absorptive, or adsorptive layers with no filtration properties, or the structures of the invention can be assembled into filters that can filter particulate from a mobile fluid while simultaneously reacting, absorbing, or adsorbing materials from the mobile fluid.

A web can comprise a substantially continuous fiber mass and a separation means dispersed into the fiber. The web having a preferred thickness resulting from forming a polymer material and a particulate into a fine fiber layer can have a variety of end uses. A filtration media can include a structure comprising such a web of fine fiber and a substantial volume of particulate embodiment of the separation means. The resulting fine fiber structure provides an improved filtration medium having substantial depth, thickness, and a layered structure. The improved properties of the web results from inclusion of the separation or spacer particulate.

A fiber pad having a core non-woven layer is disclosed. The core layer can have an upper surface and a lower surface. The core layer can comprise at least one fiber layer. The at least one fiber layer can comprise a plurality of parallel fibers. Selected groups of the parallel fibers can be folded into desired pleated configurations. Optionally, the core layer can comprise post-consumer carpet materials.

A multilayer fabric for protection from aerosol and gas phase agents comprising a bilayer structure comprising an unfilled Fine fiber layer substantially free of materials within the pores of the Fine fiber layer secured to an outer shell, the Fine fiber layer acting as an aerosol filter, and an optional interior fabric layer having a reactive layer for the removal of gas phase agents.

Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing a composite fiber filter having high efficiency and high functionality, the method comprising: melt-spinning microfiber yarns on a forming rod, which is made of a conductive material, grounded at one end thereof and rotatably driven, using a melt-spinning device, to form on the forming layer a microfiber layer consisting of the microfiber yarns; and electrospinning on the microfiber layer an electrospinnable polymer solution having a given dielectric constant, using an electrospinning device, so as to form on the microfiber layer a nanofiber layers consisting of nanofiber yarns, wherein the microfiber yarns of the microfiber layer and the nanofiber yarns of the nanofiber layer contain silver nanoparticles so as to have an antibacterial function.

Layers of unidirectional (UD) fiber prepreg are formed into a pre-plied, multi-directional, continuous fiber laminate that is used as a molding compound to form three dimensional structures. Cut-outs from the laminate are slotted and folded along fold lines to provide near-net-shaped preforms that may be compression molded to form fiber-reinforced composite structures having complex shapes.

A high-temperature-resistant fiber layer for an open particulate trap for purifying exhaust gases from mobile internal combustion engines includes metal fibers. At least a section of the fiber layer has a catalytically active and/or adsorbent coating, in particular such as that of an oxidation catalyst and/or a three-way catalyst and/or an SCR catalyst. A longitudinal section, which is substantially perpendicular to a largest outer surface, has openings formed therein with an average size of 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm, in particular 0.05 mm to 0.25 mm. A particulate trap with the coated fiber layer is also provided.

A wiping sheet is provided, which presents excellent in handling during wiping, high wiping ability for greasy dirt, and less liquid remains on an object after wiping. A wiping sheet having a fiber structure (such as a woven fabric, a knitted fabric and a nonwoven) is obtained, which includes an ultrafine fiber layer containing ultrafine fibers having a fineness of at most 0.9 dtex which result from at least two types of ultrafine fiber-generating conjugate fibers, at least one conjugate fiber giving ultrafine fibers containing a modified vinyl alcohol resin, and the other conjugate fibers giving ultrafine fibers containing another resin(s). The ultrafine fibers can be obtained by a first splittable conjugate fiber including a component containing the modified vinyl alcohol resin and a second splittable conjugate fiber composed of components of other resins. In the ultrafine fiber layer, the fibers are preferably bonded by thermoadhesive resin-containing ultrafine fibers.

The filter structures commonly known as a bag house or a filter bag or an air filter with a bag construction can be made by preparing the bag assembly, either in a tubular or a bi-fold construction by placing a layer of fine fiber on the upstream surface of the filter media structure. The filter assembly includes a filter cabinet with an interior component. The filter component is suspended within the filter cabinet interior. The filter component includes a frame or support for the filter media. The frame or support holds the filter bags such that the filter bags are suspended from the frame in the cabinet interior. The intake air enters the cabinet, passes through the filter assembly and exits the cabinet. The air must pass first into the fine fiber layer, the filter media and then the exterior of the cabinet.
