Textile element and woven material intended in particular to serve as substrate for a catalytic material, for instance a combustion catalytic material

摘要

The invention relates to a new complex filiform textile element comprising fibers of an inorganic material. The element in accordance with the invention is characterized by the fact that the fibers are contained on the outside by an enveloping but open structure of metal, the total area of the openings (So) being greater than the total area of the enveloping structure (Se) covering the apparent peripheral surface of all the entire fibers.
