Abstract
The polymer and fabric composite includes at least two polymer sheets with fabric attached covering substantially one side of the polymer sheets. In one embodiment, one of the sheets has a strip of polymer along at least one edge not backed by the fabric. This edge forms a lip that can be attached to another polymer sheet to form a strong bond between the two polymer layers. In another embodiment multiple polymer sheets are prepared with the fabric backing covering substantially one side leaving a lip of polymer for attachment along an edge of each of the polymer sheets. Additional similarly prepared polymer sheets with a polymer lip and fabric backing can be attached to manufacture the desired size of continuous composite.
