Abstract
Woven or laid structures comprising at least two systems of parallel threads, at least one of these thread systems having more than 10 threads per centimeter and comprising at least 10%, based on the thread system, of hybrid yarns comprising reinforcing filaments and lower melting matrix filaments composed of thermoplastic polymers. In such woven or laid structures, the matrix component can be melted to form textile sheet materials of adjustable gas and/or liquid permeability, which are especially useful for manufacturing airbags.
Claims31
A woven or laid structure comprising at least two systems of parallel threads, at least one of these thread systems having more than 10 threads per centimeter and comprising at least 10%, based on the thread system, of hybrid yarns comprising reinforcing filaments and lower melting matrix filaments composed of thermoplastic polymers having a melting point which is at least 30.degree. C. below the melting point or the decomposition point of the reinforcing filaments, and wherein the reinforcing filaments have an initial modulus greater than 10 GPa.
A textile sheet material of predetermined gas and/or liquid permeability, comprising a woven structure formed from reinforcing filaments and a matrix component composed of thermoplastic polymer or comprising at least one set of parallel reinforcing filaments and a matrix component composed of thermoplastic polymer, wherein reinforcing filaments and matrix component consist of the same class of polymer.
