A packaging device includes a resin film, a covering device, and a heating device. The film includes a welding portion containing a hot melt adhesive and is capable of being welded to a portion to be welded. The covering device covers, with the film, at least a part of a packaging object placed on a base formed of corrugated cardboard and at least a part of the base. The heating device heats a contact portion with the base in a state in which the welding portion of the film is in contact with the base. When heat is added by pressing the welding portion against the base, the hot melt adhesive in the welding portion melts and bonds the corrugated cardboard and the film. Polar functional groups introduced into the surface layer of the film are mixed and combined with the functional groups contained in a fiber of the base.

The present invention relates to a new method of synthesizing two-dimensional polyaniline (PANI) nanosheets using ice as a removable hard template. The method comprises polymerizing aniline on an ice surface. The synthesized PANI nanosheets show distinctly high current flows of 5.5 mA at 1 V and a high electrical conductivity of 35 S/cm, which mark a significant improvement over previous values on other PANIs reported over the past decades. These improved electrical properties of the PANI nanosheets are attributed to the long-range ordered edge-on n-stacking of the quinoid ring, ascribed to the ice surface-assisted vertical growth of PANI. The PANI nanosheet can be easily transferred onto various types of substrates via float-off from the ice surfaces. In addition, PANI can be patterned into any shape using predetermined masks, and this is expected to facilitate the eventual convenient and inexpensive application of conducting polymers in versatile electronic device forms.

A method of forming a three-dimensional object is carried out by: (a) providing a cyanate ester dual cure resin; (b) forming a three-dimensional intermediate from said resin, where said intermediate has the shape of, or a shape to be imparted to, said three-dimensional object, and where said resin is solidified by exposure to light; (c) optionally washing the three-dimensional intermediate, and then (d) heating and/or microwave irradiating said three-dimensional intermediate sufficiently to further cure said resin and form said three-dimensional object. Compositions useful for carrying out the method, and products made from the method, are also described.

A joining method for joining a first member having a hole that is opened on at least one surface, to a second member including a material of which a melting temperature is lower than that of a constituent material of the first member, includes: laminating the second member on the first member so as to cover an opening of the hole; and introducing that material of the second member which is softened or melted into the hole through the opening and curing the material of the second member.

A resin-rich peel ply that does not leave behind residual fibers after peeling and can work well with different resin-based composite substrates. The resin-rich peel ply is composed of a woven fabric impregnated with a resin matrix different from the resin matrix of the composite substrate. The peel ply is designed such that, upon manual removal of the peel ply from the composite substrate's surface, a thin film of the peel ply resin remains on the composite substrate's surface to create a bondable surface capable of bonding with another composite substrate, but no fibrous material from the woven fabric remains on the same surface.
