| 摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a stabilized fluid barrier member (30) and to methods of forming the same. The fluid barrier comprises a first outer sheet member (32) having a top surface (34) and a bottom surface (36), with a stabilizer element (42) overlying at least part of the first sheet member top surface and abutting the top surface along at least a portion thereof. The stabilizer element contains a plurality of interstitial apertures (40) adapted to contain a quantity of a selectively fluid-impervient barrier material and for substantially preventing displacement of the barrier material from the apertures, notwithstanding the angular inclination at which the fluid barrier member is oriented during manufacture, transport, installation and/or use. The barrier material is chosen for its ability to prevent passage of one or more particular fluids, in liquid or gas form, depending upon the application for which the barrier member is intended.</p> |
