Composite exhibiting elastic-like behaviour

摘要

A composite exhibiting an elastic-like behavior in response to an applied axial elongation along at least one axis thereof. The composite includes a first web material in a relaxed condition bonded to a stretched second web material. The stretched second web material includes a strainable network having first and second regions formed of substantially the same material composition. The first region provides a first, elastic-like resistive force to applied axial elongation and the second region provides a second distinctive resistive force to further applied axial elongation, thereby providing at least two stages of resistive forces in use.
