In a first aspect, a consolidated polymer film includes a first polymer layer having a first elastic modulus, wherein the first polymer layer comprises a non-melt-processible polymer comprising a polyimide, a poly(amide-imide), a block copolymer of a polyimide or a poly(amide-imide) or a mixture thereof, and a second polymer layer having a second elastic modulus, wherein the second polymer layer comprises a polyimide, a poly(amide-imide), a block copolymer of a polyimide or a poly(amide-imide) or a mixture thereof. A minor surface of the first polymer layer is in contact with a minor surface of the second polymer layer. The first elastic modulus is different from the second elastic modulus. The first and second polymer layers are bonded by consolidation.

According to the present invention, a stack comprises, between a carrier substrate and a flexible substrate layer, a peeling power adjustment layer comprising polyimide, which has a refractive index higher than that of the flexible substrate layer, so that a flexible substrate can be more easily peeled from a carrier substrate layer, and thus a flexible element can be manufactured without damage to the element through a simpler process.

The invention relates to cross-linkable thermoplastics, processes of making such cross-linkable thermoplastics and products comprising such cross-linkable thermoplastics. Such cross-linkable thermoplastics provide articles made by the additive manufacturing (AM) process with increased strength, the desired in use temperature stability and the desired thermo-oxidative stability.

A thermoplastic composition includes a thermoplastic polymer and a polyaryletherketone polymer in admixture with the thermoplastic polymer.

The present invention provides a molding precursor for a fiber-reinforced polyimide resin molded article, which is formed by impregnating a functional fiber with an addition-reaction type polyimide resin. The molding precursor has a melt viscosity in the range of 300 to 3200 kPa.Math.s under conditions of keeping for 1 to 10 minutes at a temperature 5 to 20 C. lower than the thickening-start temperature so as to effectively prevent a fiber-reinforced polyimide resin molded article from warping. The present invention provides also a method for producing the molding precursor.

The present invention provides a multilayer polyimide film and a method for manufacturing same, the multilayer polyimide film comprising at least one skin layer, which is formed on at least one outer surface of a core layer, and having a dielectric dissipation factor of 0.003 or less and an adhesive force of 1,000 gf/cm or more.

A process for the preparation of an aromatic polyimide substrate for optical displays that can be carried out during the manufacture of a display, which includes the steps of coating a solution of an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid or an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid derivative and a low molecular weight polyamic acid on a solid support and subsequent heating. The polyamic acid is prepared from non-stoichiometric amounts of 3,3,4,4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride and p-phenylenediamine.

Methods of reducing warping of a printed part are disclosed. The method includes depositing a raft comprising a first printable material onto a build platen of a three-dimensional printer. The method includes depositing a support material comprising a second printable material onto the raft. The method further includes depositing an anchor comprising one or more anchor shells of the first printable material onto the raft. The anchor is deposited within the support material. The method further includes printing a part made from the first material above the support material. The securing the part to the anchor by depositing one or more skirt shells comprising the first printable material about the periphery of the part and onto the anchor. The anchor has substantially the same shape as the part.

A method for preparing eye-tracking glasses: providing a substrate assembly, the substrate assembly comprising a functional film, the functional film being located on an outermost surface of the substrate assembly as a first surface, the first surface is provided with electronic components. Spraying a matching material towards the first surface, the matching material accumulating at least at a gap difference between the first surface and the electronic component. Providing a sealing layer, the sealing layer covering the first surface and the electronic components and the matching material disposed on the first surface. Providing a lens, the lens being connected to the functional film and the electronic components by the sealing layer.

A process can be used for producing (rigid) particle foams from polymer compositions containing at least one polymer having a glass transition temperature according to ISO 11357-2 of at least 180 C. with an underwater pelletization system.
