This invention relates to thermoformable blends of propylene polymer and a tackifying resin and thermoformed articles produced from said blends. The thermoformed articles typically have an advantageous combination of good optical properties, stiffness, and barrier properties. This invention further relates to a method of improving the processability of a propylene based polymer by blending the polymer with a tackifying resin.

The invention relates to a method for producing a container (11) with at least one opening (13) for storing cleaning agents for a toilet rim block cage (30), wherein a polymer film (20) is provided, and at least one opening (13) is punched into the polymer film (20). The at least one opening (13) is closed by a substantially gas-tight and removable closure material (21), and the film (20) together with the closed opening (13) is then three-dimensionally deformed by means of thermoforming. The invention also relates to the container (11).

A set of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) glasses are disclosed. The glasses comprise a fiber reinforced structure. The fiber reinforced structure includes a continuous fiber component. The fiber reinforced structure also includes a thermoplastic material injection molded over the continuous fiber component, wherein the thermoplastic material surrounds the continuous fiber component. The glasses also comprise electronics that are coupled to the fiber reinforced structure, wherein the electronics are configured to facilitate presentment of imagery onto a lens of the glasses.

This invention relates to the use of composite reinforcements advantageously comprising a thermosetting matrix and a filler in particular in the reinforcing of thermoplastic material or of thermosetting resin, in order to obtain a reinforced structure such as a bathtub, a washbasin, a wall panel or a shower tray.

This invention relates more particularly to a method for preparing a reinforced structure using composite reinforcements, as well as the structure able to be obtained by such a method.

In one embodiment, a method of forming a rigid package includes positioning a label with a plastic outer surface within a mould, positioning a PET sheet over the mould, contacting a first surface portion of the plastic outer surface with a second surface portion of the PET sheet, wherein at least one of the first surface portion and the second surface portion has a surface energy modified by a surface energy treatment, thermoforming the positioned PET sheet in the mould, and direct bonding the first surface portion and the second surface portion.

Articles of wear having one or more textiles that include a low processing temperature polymeric composition and a high processing temperature polymeric composition, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The low processing temperature polymeric composition and the high processing temperature polymeric composition can be selectively incorporated into a textile to provide one or more structural properties and/or other advantageous properties to the article. The textile can be thermoformed to impart such structural and/or other advantageous properties to the article of wear. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

A load carrier is at least partially made of a nonwoven composite material board. The nonwoven composite material board comprising: includes unraveled natural fibers and/or glass fibers, and plastic fibers.

Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing a load carrier. The process includes mixing unraveled natural fibers and/or glass fibers, and plastic fibers, and thermoforming the mix into a nonwoven composite material layer. The disclosed load carriers may be any type of load carriers, such as boxes, top decks, cases, crates, and the like, and in particular, pallets.

The invention relates to a method for producing a fibre composite moulded part. The method includes the steps of i) applying a gelatine-containing matrix material onto a fibre material, ii) deforming the fibre material provided with matrix material, and iii) curing the fibre material provided with matrix material.

A method for manufacturing a striking plate of a golf club head includes the steps of: a sewing step, in which at least one roving material is sewn onto a base material so as to form a laminate blank with an uneven thickness in a normal direction of the base material; and a forming step, in which the laminate blank is placed in a mold cavity of a mold and is formed into the striking plate with an uneven thickness.

A method of placing a protective member on a workpiece includes a sheet producing step of heating a plate-shaped thermoplastic resin to soften or melt the same while gripping and pulling outer edges of the thermoplastic resin in at least four directions to produce a sheet-like protective member, and after the sheet producing step, an integrating step of heating and bringing the sheet-like protective member into intimate contact with the workpiece to integrate the workpiece and the protective member with each other.
