The subject of the present invention is to provide a resin material in which woody biomass and a thermoplastic resin are uniformly mixed, and which is easy to mold. The present invention provides a molding resin material containing a pulverized product from a woody biomass-derived torrefied product and a thermoplastic resin.

A method for producing a thermoplastic resin composition, including: melt-kneading a mixture containing a polyester resin (A), a starch material (B), and water; and dewatering the melt-kneaded mixture to reduce a water content to 5% by weight or less. The mixture contains 25 to 55 parts by weight of the water per 100 parts by weight of a solid content of the starch material (B). A film containing a thermoplastic resin composition containing a biodegradable polyester resin (A) and a starch material (B), wherein the starch material (B) has a number-average particle diameter of 3 μm or less.

The present invention provides methods for preparing the nut waste pot composites from a nut waste component, one or more binders, and an oil using a compounder/extruder.

An electrical connector with thin interior walls is made by extruding a polymer or polymer composite into a sheet of approximately 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm thickness. The sheet is then calendered to a thickness of about 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm. The calendered sheet is cut into notched sections. The notched sections are assembled and placed into an injection molded housing of a connector. The sections are secured in place by using an adhesive, force fit, snap fit, or welding process to form the thin interior walls of the connector.

Structures for use in forming products having a wood grain appearance include, for example, a plurality of extruded layers having different colors/shades spirally wound about a longitudinal axis to an outer surface to define the structure. The plurality of extruded layers include varying thicknesses along a spiral length of the plurality of layers and/or portions of the plurality of extruded layers encircling the longitudinal axis include portions disposed at different distances from the longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the spirally winding includes forming a cylindrical structure, and pressing the cylindrical structure into a cuboid structure having a square or rectangular cross-section across the longitudinal axis and at least a portion of the plurality of extruded layers defining a square or rectangle pattern across the longitudinal axis. Longitudinal portions may be cut from the structures to form the products having a wood grain appearance.

Method of manufacturing a regenerated cellulosic molded body, wherein the method comprises supplying a starting material which comprises cellulose and at least one foreign matter, transferring at least a part of the starting material with at least a part of the at least one foreign matter into a spinning mass which additionally contains a solvent for solving at least a part of the cellulose of the starting material in the solvent, and extruding the spinning mass to the molded body, and subsequently precipitating in a spinning bath, wherein thereby the molded body is obtained, wherein the molded body comprises cellulose and at least a part of the at least one foreign matter.

Method of manufacturing a cellulose-regenerated-molded body, wherein the method comprises supplying a starting material which is manufactured by a lyocell-method and which comprises cellulose, which is manufactured by solving a cellulose source in a solvent for manufacturing a spinning mass, by extruding the spinning mass and by subsequently precipitating in a spinning bath, solving the starting material which comprises cellulose, in a solvent for manufacturing a spinning mass, and extruding, and subsequently precipitating the spinning mass in a spinning bath, wherein thereby the molded body is obtained.

Painting in commercial, residential, and retail environments requires extreme care to avoid paint being deposited where it is not required. Drop cloths are commonly used to protect a floor or furniture during the painting process. However, these are generally simply plastic sheets to provide a barrier to the liquid paint and nothing more. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to provide a drop sheet or tarp that supports a liquid material drying process such as by dehydration, coagulate, etc. or form solid materials thereby reducing the instances of subsequent paint transfer from the drop sheet or tarp directly or indirectly to other surfaces and/or objects. It would also be advantageous to drop sheet or tarp that provides a non-slip surface which prevents the drop sheet from sliding around and remains well in place without additional weights, tape, etc.
