A method for manufacturing a structural assembly comprising at least two assembly components interconnected by means of a thermoplastic plastics material, and useful in the field of aviation or space travel. First, a first assembly component and a second assembly component are provided and arranged so as to form an arrangement. Second, the arrangement is subjected to creep forming at a temperature which is selected in such a way that the thermoplastic plastics material melts at least in part during the creep forming so as to connect the first assembly component and the second assembly component. The invention further relates to structural assemblies, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft, and to an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a structural assembly of this type.

A metal composite including an oxidized base metal and a fibrous composite material coupled by a self-assembled monolayer and adhesive is described. Additionally, a method of constructing a metal composite is described, wherein the method includes oxidizing a metal, depositing a self-assembled monolayer, and adhering a fibrous composite to the monolayer.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and apparatuses for additive manufacturing using foil-based build materials. Such methods and apparatuses eliminate several drawbacks of conventional powder-based methods, including powder handling, recoater jams, and health risks. In addition, the present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for compensation of in-process warping of build plates and foil-based build materials, in-process monitoring, and closed loop control.

A veneer panel is provided. The panel may comprise a face veneer, a metal mesh proximate the veneer, a backing layer proximate the metal mesh, and a thermoset adhesive bonding the wood veneer to the metal mesh and the backing layer. A method of making a veneer panel is also provided. The method may comprise the steps of forming a veneer assembly by stacking a face veneer, a metal mesh, and a backing layer, applying an adhesive material between a back surface of the face veneer and the metal mesh, and pressing the veneer assembly.

Fabrication of a multi-layer X-ray source is disclosed using bulk structures to fabricate a multi-layer target structure. In one implementation, layers of X-ray generating material, such as tungsten, are interleaved with thermally conductive layers, such as diamond layers. To prevent delamination of the layers, various mechanical, chemical, and/or structural approaches may also be employed.

A method of forming a laminated metallic structure includes steps of: (1) providing a first preformed-metallic sheet having a three-dimensional shape of a first graduated three-dimensional size; (2) providing a second preformed-metallic sheet having the three-dimensional shape of a second graduated three-dimensional size; (3) nesting the second preformed-metallic sheet in the first preformed-metallic sheet; and (4) bonding the first preformed-metallic sheet and the second preformed-metallic sheet together.

The present invention provides a sheet having an elastomer layer having a Shore A hardness of less than 40, wherein the elastomer layer has an adhesion force to stainless steel of not more than 11 oz/in at 90 degree peel strength.

Provided are a polyester film that is usable for protecting a surface of a metal plate of a construction material, a decorative material, an interior material, an electronic product, etc., and a manufacturing method therefor, and a polyester mold product using the same and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein the polyester film has low orientation and low modulus to have excellent moldability.

A power storage device includes a positive electrode part including a first metallic foil layer and a positive electrode active material layer partially laminated on one surface of the first metallic foil layer, a negative electrode part including a second metallic foil layer and a negative electrode active material layer partially laminated on one surface of the second metallic foil layer, and a separator arranged between the positive electrode part and the negative electrode part. The positive electrode active material layer is arranged between the first metallic foil layer and the separator, and the negative electrode active material layer is arranged between the second metallic foil layer and the separator. The peripheral regions of the one surfaces of the first and second metallic foil layers in which the positive and negative electrode active material layers are not formed are joined via a peripheral sealing layer containing a thermoplastic resin.

The present invention relates to: an interior film in which a first ultraviolet-curable resin layer having a three-dimensional pattern formed thereon, a substrate layer, a second ultraviolet-curable resin layer having a horizontal hairline pattern formed thereon, a primer layer, and a metal layer are sequentially stacked; and a method for producing the same.
