A hybrid reinforcing fabric includes glass fibers and carbon fibers. The hybrid reinforcing fabric can be readily infused at an acceptable infusion speed, without requiring that the carbon fiber tows used resin. Thus, the fabric provides for an effective one-step (i.e., in the mold) infusion process during composite part formation.

Hybrid reinforcement fabric

Fabrics formed from a multitude of continuous fibers, each of the fibers including many individual filaments, are disclosed. The fibers are held together by a stitching yarn. Properties of the stitching yarn allow a resin to more readily flow through the fabric.

Multiaxial reinforcing fabric with a stitching yarn for improved fabric infusion

A fiber-reinforced fabric, composite materials formed from such fabrics, and methods of making the fiber-reinforced fabric or composite materials, are provided. The fabrics and composite materials demonstrate improved fatigue performance relative to conventional fiber-reinforced fabrics.

Fiber reinforced materials with improved fatigue performance

A luminous glazing unit includes at least two glazing elements, for example at least two transparent glass sheets; optionally at least one lamination interlayer between the two glazing elements; at least one waveguide element, located on one face of the lamination interlayer and/or between the two glazing elements, the waveguide element having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the adjacent interlayer and/or glazing elements; at least one light source, for example positioned at the edge of the glazing unit in order to illuminate the waveguide element via the edge face of the latter; and at least one light extraction device, formed by at least one fibrous structure, this structure being in the form of at least one textile, this structure or this extraction device being placed in the core of the waveguide element.

Luminous glazing unit

A luminous glazing unit including at least one substrate formed by a transparent glazing element; at least one light source; and at least one light extraction device for extracting the light, the extraction device being arranged to create a luminous region, the extraction device being formed by at least one fibrous layer.

A radiation-collecting device includes at least one radiation-collecting element and a scattering layer placed, in relation to the element, on that side on which the radiation is incident on the device. The scattering layer has a transparent fibrous structure and a transparent medium for encapsulating the fibers of the fibrous structure, the absolute value of the difference between the refractive index of the fibers of the fibrous structure and the refractive index of the encapsulating medium being equal to or greater than 0.05.
