| abstract |
The invention concerns multiaxial fabrics comprising at least one layer of nonwoven fabric, thermoplastic film or thermoset film, a first layer comprising a plurality of first yarns being substantially parallel in a first direction, a second layer comprising a plurality of second yarns being substantially parallel in a second direction and skew or off-set with respect to the first yarns, and transverse yarn interlaced transversely within the layers wherein each layer may be arranged in any sequential order and optionally coated with a high viscosity polymer that has a Tg in the range of about -40 to about 0°C, and a zero shear melt viscosity of about 2x106 to about 1013 poise at 20°C. |
