Multi-Layered Articles Having Discontinuous Adhesive Regions

摘要

Multi-layered articles that include a first textile and an adhesive layer having a non-uniform adhesive pattern is provided. The non-uniform adhesive pattern creates regions free or substantially free of adhesive. The adhesive regions, together with the non-adhesive regions, create a visible pattern on the surface of the article. A second textile may optionally be bonded to the adhesive opposing the first textile to form a multi-layered article. The first textile or adhesive layer may be shrinkable or expandable. Additionally, the multi-layered article has a stretch force at 20% elongation of less than three times the stretch force of the first textile at 20% elongation. The multi-layered articles are breathable, insulative, aesthetically pleasing, and demonstrate superior stretch and recovery properties.
