Provided is a golf club shaft having a lightweight property and exhibiting impact-absorption characteristics to suppress vibration at an impact of a golf ball. A golf club shaft, including a shaft body extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein the shaft body is composed of a composite material which has: a first member containing a fiber reinforced plastic; and a second member containing a rubber material and formed to be in direct contact with the first member within at least a part of a region on the first member, and in which the first member and the second member are integrated.

A conveyor belt obtained by bonding together conveyor belts to be adhered using an adhesive rubber is provided. The conveyor belts to be adhered include a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X1), and carbon black (Y1), the organic peroxide (X1) being contained in an amount of from 0.011 to 0.020 molar equivalents relative to the ethylene--olefin copolymer in the conveyor belts to be adhered. The adhesive rubber includes a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X2), and carbon black (Y2), the organic peroxide (X2) being contained in an amount of from 0.017 to 0.022 molar equivalents relative to the ethylene--olefin copolymer in the adhesive rubber. A content ratio (X2/X1) of the organic peroxide (X2) to the organic peroxide (X1) is from 1.20 to 2.00.

A mandrel configured to facilitate release of an elastomeric part cured thereon may comprise an elongated body having an outer surface, an internal cavity formed in the elongated body, and a passage providing fluid communication between the internal cavity and the outer surface of the body. The passage may be dimensioned so as to permit a flow of a fluid from the internal cavity to the outer surface of the body and to preclude a flow of an uncured elastomer into the passage. The flow of the fluid from the internal cavity to the outer surface may cause the fluid to intervene between the outer surface of the mandrel and the elastomeric part to facilitate the release of the elastomeric part from the mandrel.

Described herein is a latex blend comprising (i) an amorphous perfluoropolymer and (ii) an aqueous dispersion of semi crystalline fluoropolymer particles, wherein the particles comprise a TFE homopolymer or a TFE copolymer comprising no more than 1 wt % of a second fluorinated monomer, wherein the semi crystalline fluoropolymer particles (a) have an MFI (372? C. with 2.16 kg) of less than 50 g/10 min or (b) are not melt processible and have an SSG of less than 2.190, wherein the semi crystalline fluoropolymer particles have an average diameter greater than 100 nm.

A method for adhering together rubbers to be adhered including a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X1), and carbon black (Y1), using a rubber for adhesion including a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X2), and carbon black (Y2) at an adhesive interface, wherein contents of the organic peroxide (X1) in the rubber to be adhered and the organic peroxide (X2) in the rubber for adhesion are predetermined contents, and a content ratio (X2/X1) of the organic peroxide (X2) to the organic peroxide (X1) is from 1.20 to 2.00.

A method of adhering a silicone rubber film and a glass sheet together contains steps of: (A). Pouring liquid silicone rubber into a mold in a vacuum condition so as to form a silicone rubber film with 0.2 mm thickness after the liquid silicone rubber solidifies; (B). Placing a glass sheet into the mold and pressing the glass sheet on the silicone rubber film in the mold by way of a press plate; (C). Baking the silicone rubber film in a temperature of 80 C. to 150 C. for 20 minutes to 30 minutes; and (D). Removing the glass sheet and the silicone rubber film from the mold. Thereby, the silicone rubber film does not attach on the inner wall of the mold as being removed from the mold.

Methods for manufacturing fabric-reinforced weatherstrip include incorporating a fabric application step into a process for making coated substrates. In one embodiment, a strip of the fabric from a roll of material may be applied directly onto a coating after it has been applied in a coat die to a foam profile, while the coating is still in the molten state. Alternatively, a fabric application plate may be attached to an upstream side of coating die with a fabric feed channel cut into the plate. The fabric follows the channel to contact and mate with the foam profile. The fabric applicator plate may be configured so as to exert pressure on only the part of the product where the fabric is being applied. Ultrasonic welding techniques may also be employed.
