<p>A reinforcing fabric (101) or (30) contains a layer of reinforcing fibers (12), (10a) and (10b), and a polymeric coating (15) holds the fibers (12), (10a) and (10b) while the fibers are under mechanical strain to increase the thickness of the layer by at least about 50%. The warp yarns (12) are held under tension in a tenter frame (105) while applying the polymeric coating (15). A matrix material is reinforced by the reinforcing fabric (101) or (30). The matrix material is, a soil reinforcement material, a pipe forming material, a road surfacing material, a cement board material, a gypsum board material, a roofing membrane material, a roofing shingle material, a textile material, or a surgical cast material.</p> |
