In certain embodiments, the multilayer assembly can include a core layer, a skin layer and one or more depressions in a surface of the multilayer assembly. In other configurations, the multilayer assembly can include a core layer, a skin layer, one or more depressions in a surface of the multilayer assembly and one or more additional layers.

A machine and method of forming an article generally comprising extruding a molten bead of thermoplastic material along x, y and z axes in forming an article consisting of a strata of such material, and passing a roller over each applied portion of such molten bead to compress such bead portion, enhancing the fusion of engaging plies of such extruded material.

Methods for preparing multi-layer optical laminates include placing an optical film that is free form an adhesive layer between first and second glass substrates that are free of an adhesive layer, placing this laminate under vacuum, and then heating the laminate under pressure to a temperature above the softening temperature of the optical film. The glass substrates are free of an adhesive layer but may include a silane surface treatment. The resulting multi-layer laminate is optically clear and does not show scattering of reflected light by the optical film.

The present invention relates to a multilayer composition comprising a surface layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer A and a substrate layer comprising a polymeric composite material based thermoplastic (meth)acrylic matrix and a fibrous material as reinforcement. The multilayer composition is suitable for mechanical or structured parts or articles with a decorative surface aspect The present invention concerns also a manufacturing process for multilayer mechanical or structured parts or articles and three-dimensional mechanical or structured parts.

A multilayer foam film suitable for direct and non-direct food contact and aseptic packaging application is disclosed.

A container capable of suppressing the unexpected opening of a pair of upper walls including a first side wall and a second side wall facing each other; a third side wall provided therebetween; a first upper wall and a second upper wall; and a locking member. The first side wall and the second side wall face each other. The first upper wall and the second upper wall are configured to be rotatable with respect to the first side wall and the second side wall, respectively. The locking member includes a fixed portion and an engagement portion, the fixed portion being fixed to the third side wall, the engagement portion being engaged with at least one of the first upper wall and the second upper wall to prevent the first upper wall and the second upper wall from opening.

An inkjet printing method and inkjet compositions are disclosed. The method includes selectively depositing by inkjet printing, layer by layer, a first composition and a second composition onto a receiving media from different dispensers to form polymerizable deposited layers. The first composition includes one or more free-radical polymerizable compounds and a cationic photoinitiator and is devoid of compounds able to undergo cationic photopolymerization within the first composition. The second composition includes one or more cationic polymerizable compounds and is devoid of cationic photoinitiators. At least one of the compositions includes a radical photoinitiator. The method further includes exposing the deposited layers to actinic radiation to initiate polymerization of the free-radical polymerizable compounds and the cationic polymerizable compounds within the deposited layers.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a film to hold a metal layer, a metallic decorative sheet intermediate product, a metallic decorative sheet, a metallic molded product, and a method for producing a metallic molded product which prevent the occurrence of the whitening phenomena or the like of the metallic molded product which occur during production of the metallic molded products by using a metallic decorative sheet, as well as enables molding in a wider temperature range.
