The invention relates to a method in which a polyester melt containing one or more polyesters is produced, the polyester melt being foamed by a blowing agent and a foamed granulate is produced from the foamed polyester melt. The intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the polyester melt is reduced by the blowing agent about at least 0.05 dl/g, measured according to ASTM D4603, and the IV of the foamed granulate is then increased by means of a solid phase polycondensation (SSP).

Visibility of an optical film at the time of handling can be improved, and an antireflection region and a visible region can be easily formed on a surface of the optical film in an identical processing step. An optical film 1 includes a base material 11 having flexibility and a resin layer 12 laminated on at least one of surfaces of the base material 11. The resin layer 12 includes a concave-convex pattern region 2 in which a micro concave-convex structure 20 composed of a plurality of convexities 21 or concavities 22 arrayed at a pitch P less than or equal to a wavelength of visible light are formed and a strip-shaped line marker region 3 in which a plurality of ridge portions 31 arrayed at intervals from one another at a track pitch P.sub.t more than or equal to the wavelength of visible light are formed.

A method for manufacturing a heat sealable polyester film is provided. A part of a recycled polyester material is physically reproduced to obtain physically regenerated polyester chips. Another part of a recycled polyester material is chemically reproduced to obtain chemically regenerated polyester chips. Modified polyester chips, the physically regenerated polyester chips and the chemically regenerated polyester chips are mixed to form a raw material mixture, and the modified polyester chips are formed from the recycled polyester material. The raw material mixture is used to form a heat sealable layer. A base layer is disposed onto the heat sealable layer so as to obtain the heat sealable polyester film. A heat sealing temperature of the heat sealable polyester film ranges from 120° C. to 230° C.

An apparatus for processing cover windows includes a first mold including a first support a second support spaced apart from the first support, where the first support and second support are configured to hold processing targets; a second mold; and a third mold spaced apart from the second mold. The second mold includes a first pressurizing portion overlapping with the first support, having a first thickness, and a second pressurizing portion connected with the first pressurizing portion and configured to overlap with the first support, having a second thickness thinner than the first thickness. The third mold includes a third pressurizing portion overlapping with the second support, having a third thickness, and a fourth pressurizing portion connected with the third pressurizing portion and overlapping with the second support, having a fourth thickness thinner than the third thickness.

In order to achieve the above object, the thermal conductor according to the present invention has the following configuration. That is, a thermal conductor in which a sheet-shaped thermal conductive material (II) having an in-plane thermal conductivity of 300 W/m.Math.K or more is contained in a porous structure (I) configured of reinforcing fibers and a resin.

A film includes an outer layer and a sealant layer attached to the outer layer. The sealant layer includes a first layer having a first viscosity and a second layer having a second viscosity. The first layer is attached to the outer layer and the second layer is attached to the first layer. The first viscosity is greater than the second viscosity.

An apparatus is intended to produce a multi-layer extrudate comprising an intermediate material interposed between at least two layers of outer material. The apparatus comprises an arrangement of ducts which includes a first duct and a second duct through which respective lateral flows of outer material can flow. The arrangement of ducts also includes a further duct through which a central flow comprising at least the intermediate material can flow. The apparatus further comprises at least one obstructing element for interacting at least with the central flow while the central flow is advancing in an advancement direction. The at least one obstructing element is movable with a movement having a component directed transversally to the advancement direction, so as to obstruct the central flow in the advancement direction at preset intervals.

The invention concerns a film based on a binary polymer composition having at least a first polymer and a second polymer. The film is oriented by extruding and stretching the film in at least the machine direction. The glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the first polymer is greater than the orientation temperature and the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the second polymer is lower than the orientation temperature.
