The invention relates to an elongate reinforcement element for reinforcing an unbonded flexible pipe, a method of producing the elongate reinforcement element and an unbonded flexible pipe comprising the elongate reinforcement element. The reinforcement element comprises a plurality of elongate armor strips and an elongate support element comprising a channel, wherein the plurality of elongate armor strips are arranged in the channel of the elongate support element. Preferably the elongate armor strips are arranged to be superimposed in the channel and the plurality of superimposed elongate armor strips are displaceable in relation to each other upon bending of the elongate reinforcement element.

A liner tube (1) for rehabilitating sewers and water drainage ducts, with an inner film tube (2), a first layer (4) arranged thereon made of nonwoven material, and a second layer (6) made of glass fiber material and arranged on the layer (4) made of nonwoven material, is characterized in that the first layer (4) contains at least one overlapping wound strip made of nonwoven material, which is impregnated with a fluid reaction resin which can be cured by light or heat, and in that the second layer (6) contains at least one first strip (6a) which is impregnated with a fluid reaction resin and made of glass fiber material, which has glass fibers (8) extending in the longitudinal direction of the liner tube. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a liner tube of this kind.

The disclosure proposes a method for producing a panel having an outer skin and stiffeners that have a connecting portion, and at least one projecting portion, the method comprising a step of draping layers of fibers over at least one insert such that each layer of fibers has a connecting portion and a portion that projects downwardly from the connecting portion, a step of draping a layer of fibers that forms the outer skin, and a step of bonding the layers of fibers together. The disclosure also provides a device for implementing the method.

Internally reinforced aerogels, articles of manufacture and uses thereof are described. An internally reinforced aerogel includes an aerogel having a support at least partially penetrating the aerogel and having the aerogel penetrating the porous structure of the support.

Packaging materials are configured such that when sealed to define an interior volume of a package the packaging material has an inner surface facing the interior volume and an outer surface facing away from the interior volume. Between the inner surface and the outer surface, the packagings contain moisture controlling material. The permeability of moisture from the outer surface to the moisture controlling material is less than the permeability of moisture from the inner surface to the moisture controlling material to provide selective moisture transfer between the moisture controlling material and the interior volume of a sealed package formed, at least in part, from the packaging material. The nature of the packaging material and the moisture controlling material can be tuned to control the relative humidity within the sealed inner volume.

A composite structure having a laminated structure made of fiber reinforced plastic and metallic material comprises a base member(s) made of metallic material; and a reinforcement member(s) made of fiber reinforced plastic, the reinforcement member(s) comprising: a first reinforcement part(s) made of fiber reinforced plastic including reinforcement fibers which are aligned in a uni-direction, and a second reinforcement part(s) made of fiber reinforced plastic including at least reinforcement fibers which are aligned in a crossing direction relative to the uni-direction in which the reinforcement fibers of the first reinforcement part(s) are aligned, and interposed between the base member(s) and the first reinforcement part(s), the reinforcement member(s) further comprising a thermosetting resin included in a bonding site with the base member(s).

A fiber composite component includes a composite including cured matrix material and a fiber material embedded therein. At least one partial area of the fiber composite component is provided with at least one thread, which undulates as it extends along a surface area of the composite, so that sections of the thread alternately run inside of the composite and outside of the composite. An adhesive arrangement for such fiber composite components is also disclosed. Finally, methods for manufacturing such a fiber composite component or for manufacturing such an adhesive arrangement are disclosed.

There is provided an article having at least a first surface having: a binder resin layer comprising an actinic radiation reactive polyurethane dispersion, where the binder resin layer has a first major surface opposite a second major surface; and a plurality of microspheres partially embedded and adhered to the first major surface of the binder resin layer. There is also provided a thermoset article derived from such thermoformable articles.

The invention relates to a coated cooking element for a kitchen item or electrical cooking apparatus, comprising a metal substrate coated on one side with a peelable film, forming a cooking face, the peelable film comprising one or several layers of fluorinated polymer, a mechanical reinforcing layer and a hotmelt polymer layer arranged on the opposite side to the cooking face and having a melting point higher than 250 C. and lower than or equal to that of at least one of the other layers of the peelable film, the peelable film being assembled with the metal substrate, the hotmelt polymer layer being in contact with the face of the metal substrate. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a coated cooking element and to a cooking article or an electrical cooking appliance having said coated cooking element.

Example systems and methods are described including backing paper for use with uncured pre-impregnated material. An example system includes a backing paper having a first surface and a second surface. The system also includes a coating material positioned on the first surface of the backing paper. A blowing agent is encapsulated within the coating material.
