<p>Disclosed herein is a composite (10) comprising at least one heat shrinkable adhesive layer (12) stitch-bonded with yams (50), which shrink less than the adhesive layer (12) or do not shrink, when the adhesive layer (12) is expose d to heat. The stitch-bonded yams (50) form loops (28) upstanding from the shrunk adhesive layer and the loops (28) create a textured surface on the composite, and the composite (10) is substantially inelastic after the adhesive layer (12) is shrunk. The composite may further comprise at least o ne fibrous layer (30) stitch-bonded to the shrinkable adhesive layer, and the fibrous layer (30) is less shrinkable than the adhesive layer or is substantially non-shrinkable.</p> |
