This invention relates generally to abrasion resistant and/or puncture
resistant fabrics, coated, layered and/or laminated inflatable fabrics,
and methods. More particularly, it concerns airbag cushions to which
films, fabrics, layers, and/or coatings have been applied and which
exhibit enhanced abrasion resistance and/or puncture resistance. The
inventive inflatable fabrics are especially suited for use in automotive
restraint cushions that require abrasion resistance and/or puncture
resistance (such as side curtain airbags).
