Abstract:
A process for the production of a polymeric article comprises: (a) forming a ply having successive layers, namely, (i) a first layer made up of strands of an oriented polymer material; (ii) a second layer of a polymeric material; (iii) a third layer made up of strands of an oriented polymeric material, wherein the second layer has a lower peak melting temperature that of the first and third layers; (b) subjecting the ply to conditions of time, temperature, and pressure sufficient to melt a proportion of the fits layer, to melt the second layer entirely, and to melt a proportion of the third layer, and to compact the ply; and (c) cooling the compacted ply. The resultant articles have good mechanical properties yet may be made at a lower compaction temperature than articles not employing the second layer, leading to a more controllable manufacturing process.
Abstract:
An electronic device housing includes a substrate, a film structure, and a protective film. The film structure includes an adhesive film, a film stack, and a protective film. The adhesive film is deposited onto the substrate. The film stack is deposited onto the adhesive film alternating dielectric films and metal films. The metal films are non-continuous with a total thickness of the metal films at a predetermined value. The protective film is deposited onto an upper film of the film stack.
Abstract:
A macromolecular laminate includes a main layer made of a first type of polyurethane resin compound that is liquid at room temperature. The first type of polyurethane resin compound is made through mixing polyurethane resin with solid content higher than 50% by weight with additives. An auxiliary layer may be formed on the main layer and made of a second type of polyurethane resin compound different from the first type of polyurethane resin compound.
Abstract:
A method for the production of a decorative laminate having an abrasion-resistant, scuff- and mar-resistant overlay, wherein the method comprises forming an overlay, wherein the method of forming the overlay comprises: impregnating a first side of a substrate with a first thermosetting resin; coating the first side of the substrate with a layer of slurry comprising a second thermosetting resin and a mix of abrasion resistant particles, wherein the mix of abrasion resistant particles comprises at least about 5 percent of elliptical, platelet shaped abrasion resistant particles to form a composite; and curing the composite to form a cured composite.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a base material for a laminate having a high strength, reduced thickness, and light weight. In the present invention, a base material is prepared by incorporating a thermosetting resin binder into a non-woven fabric of para-aramid fibers prepared by a wet type paper making, and then heating a plurality of the resultant non-woven fabric sheets under pressure. The non-woven fabric sheet comprises 95 to 70 mass % of the para-aramid fibers and 5 to 30 mass % of the thermosetting resin binder.
Abstract:
Inorganic compound particles constituted of a shell, a porous matter or a cavity enclosed therein, and the porous matter or the cavity being kept unchanged in a subsequently formed transparent coating film.
Abstract:
A translucent decorative board for use, e.g., as a window pane, light shade, partition or door pane is disclosed. The decorative board is comprised of a translucent substrate board and translucent cover sheets bonded to the surfaces of the substrate board. The substrate board is generally thermoplastic and the decorative cover sheets are thermosetting. The thermosetting sheet may comprise a substrate paper sheet and a thermosetting resin impregnated in the sheet.
Abstract:
A composite comprises at least one layer which includes a composite comprising (a) from 1 to 99% by weight of a solid (I) with a primary particle size of from 5 nm to 100 &mgr;m or a mixture made from at least two solids, (b) from 99 to 1% by weight of a polymeric binder (II) which includes: (IIa) from 1 to 100% by weight of a polymer or copolymer (IIa) which has, along the chain, terminally and/or laterally, reactive groups (RG) which are capable of crosslinking reactions when exposed to heat and/or UV radiation, and (IIb) from 0 to 99% by weight of at least one polymer or copolymer (IIb) which is free from reactive groups RG, where the at least one layer has been applied to at least one second layer comprising at least one conventional separator.
Abstract:
Generally flat structural panel for building construction includes an inner insulating core such as of plastic foam and a pair of opposed outer facings, or sheets, bonded to the panel's insulating core. One of the outer facings is of gypsum composite, or gypsum fiberboard, while the other outer facing is of oriented strand board (OSB) impregnated with plastic, such as a polyisocyanurate or urethane resin. The gypsum fiberboard forms the panel's inner surface, while the plastic impregnated OSB forms the panel's outer surface. The panel's outer facings provide high tensile strength, with the gypsum fiberboard facing also affording high load bearing capacity as well as resistant to fire, the environment, and insects. The plastic impregnated OSB does not expand or contract with changes in humidity to maintain a planar configuration for the panel with a smooth, uniform surface for exterior finishing.
