Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fabric structure including at least one fiber interlaced in a first pattern, and a surface layer having a second pattern not corresponding to the first pattern. The fiber includes a thermoplastic component and a functional component. The surface layer comprises a fused portion of the thermoplastic component and covers the functional component.
Claims10
A fabric structure, comprising:
- at least one fiber interlaced in a first pattern, wherein the fiber includes a thermoplastic component and a functional component;
- and
- a surface layer having a second pattern not corresponding to the first pattern, wherein the surface layer comprises a fused portion of the thermoplastic component and covers the functional component.
A method for manufacturing a fabric structure, comprising:
- (a) providing at least one fiber comprising a thermoplastic component and a functional component;
- (b) interlacing the fiber in a first pattern to form a fabric;
- (c) covering the fabric with a release material, wherein the release material has an embossed pattern;
- and
- (d) heating and pressing the fabric onto the release material for fusing the thermoplastic component and forming a surface layer having a second pattern, wherein the second pattern is conformal to the embossed pattern of the release material.
