A dry primer film composite that includes a release carrier film and a pigmented sandable primer layer having a dry film thickness of 100 m or greater overlying the carrier film, wherein the primer layer is a latent heat curing material; and uses of the dry primer film composite for spot repair of a substrate in need of repair. In preferred embodiments said primer layer is formed from a coating composition comprising a binder chosen from thermosetting acrylics, GMA acrylics, urethanes, epoxies, polyester and combinations thereof.

Asymmetric expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes that contain multiple layers of ePTFE where at least one layer of ePTFE has a microstructure different from the microstructure of a second ePTFE layer. In exemplary embodiments, the asymmetric membrane contains a first ePTFE layer that has an open microstructure and a second ePTFE layer that has a less open, or tight microstructure. A third ePTFE layer having an open microstructure may be positioned on the second ePTFE layer. The asymmetric membranes possess print durability and are both abrasion resistant and air permeable. Additionally, printed asymmetric ePTFE membranes demonstrate low gloss. A textile may be affixed to the asymmetric membrane such that the first ePTFE layer is the outer surface of the laminate. Laminates containing the asymmetric membrane are sufficiently durable against abrasion so that articles of apparel having an exterior film surface remain liquidproof after an abrasion challenge.

A multilayer film including an odor barrier layer having sound dampening properties is provided. The odor barrier layer is formed from a polyamide modified with a functionalized vinyl-bond rich triblock copolymer.

A paste for an NFC magnetic sheet is provided, which comprises: a magnetic powder; an organic carrier; and a nanoscale alumina powder; wherein a weight ratio of the nanoscale alumina powder to the magnetic powder ranges from about 0.0005 to about 0.005. A method of preparing the paste for the NFC magnetic sheet and an NFC magnetic sheet are also provided.

A shock absorption structure has an exterior member made of a first fiber-reinforced composite material, an interior member made of a second fiber-reinforced composite material, and a first intermediate member made of resin, extending along the exterior member and the interior member, and sandwiched between the exterior member and the interior member. The first intermediate member has a lower elongation percentage than the exterior member. The first intermediate member has lower strength than the exterior member.

Disclosed are a vacuum insulating material having an improved structure as to enhance insulation and durability and a refrigerator having the same. The vacuum insulating material includes a core material, a first envelope disposed at an outer side of the core material, a blocking layer disposed between the core material and the first envelope, and a second envelope coupling to the first envelope to form an accommodating space in which the core material and the blocking layer are accommodated, wherein the blocking layer is welded or adhered to the first envelope to form an integral unit with the first envelope.

A panel for a trailer and a method of making the same is provided. The trailer includes a front wall, a rear wall opposite the front wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is formed by a first continuous laminate panel that extends an entire length of the first sidewall, and the second sidewall is formed by a second continuous laminate panel that extends an entire length of the second sidewall. The first continuous laminate panel and the second continuous laminate panel each comprise a first skin, a second skin opposite the first skin, and a perforated core between the first skin and the second skin.

The present disclosure provides a carbon fiber reinforced material including carbon fibers, a matrix resin, thermoplastic resin particles, and a conductive nanofiller.
