The present invention relates to a method for surface coating a plane metal substrate, the method comprising the following steps: Providing a coiled plane metal substrate; unwinding the coiled plane metal substrate; applying a polyester based adhesive onto a top surface of the unwound plane metal substrate, and laminating a film comprising a base acrylic layer onto the polyester based adhesive, thereby forming a laminated assembly. The invention further relates to a pre-coated metal substrate obtainable by the method according to the invention, and to a product comprising a pre-coated metal substrate according to the invention.

A composite includes a liquid crystal polyester that is soluble in a solvent; and liquid crystal polymer particles that are insoluble in a solvent, have a melting point of 270° C. or more, and have a cumulative distribution 50% diameter D.sub.50 of 20 μm or less and a cumulative distribution 90% diameter D.sub.90 of 2.5 times or less the D.sub.50 in a particle size distribution.

A method of evaluating a laminate formed of two or more layers bonded to each other includes an image obtaining step of obtaining a two-dimensional image of the laminate; a detecting step of detecting air-pocket corresponding regions from a two-dimensional image; a characteristic value obtaining step of determining a characteristic value related to areas of the air-pocket corresponding regions; and an evaluation step of evaluating the laminate based on the characteristic value. is a method of evaluating a laminate.

The present disclosure provides a flexible display device. The flexible display device has different base materials for the back supporting film at the bonding region and the non-bonding region, so that it can satisfy the requirements for AOI and bending resistance respectively. The present disclosure also provides a back film for a flexible display device and a preparation method thereof.

The use of camera-based safety systems is growing at a rapid rate in modern automobiles. At the same time, windshields, where many of the cameras are mounted, are becoming larger and more complex in shape. As the industry moves towards vehicles with full autonomous capability, the number of cameras required and the resolution of the cameras are both increasing. However, the optical quality of the windshield is less than optimal. One of the problems is caused by the typical black enamel frit that is printed on the glass, prior to heating and bending, to hide or obscure the camera hardware. The abrupt thermal gradients during bending, caused by the heat absorbing black frit, result in a high level of distortion in the camera field of view. The object of this invention is to provide laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by creating an obscuration after heating and bending the glass by removing a portion of the plastic interlayer glass in or near the camera field of view (camera obscuration) or/and in the edges of the windshield (black band) and replacing it with an inlay made of a substantially opaque plastic or other suitable material in or near the camera field of view (camera obscuration) or/and in the edges of the windshield (black band) rather than printing and firing an enamel frit on the glass. This results in a laminate having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a laminate with a black enamel frit obscuration.

A package arrangement comprising a structure formed by a plurality of layers including an outer layer formed of a polymer material, one or more interior layers formed of a semi-aromatic polyamide composite material, and an inner layer formed of a polymer material, and an amount of water contained within the structure, the water including an amount of ozone dissolved therein, wherein the interior layer of the structure is configured to absorb oxygen and induce the degradation of the ozone.

A macro-molecular leakage-free self-adhering aluminum foil has two layers of aluminum foil compounded using a PET film, and the other surfaces of each layer coated with a modified PE adhesive layer respectively; or air gaps in one surface or two surfaces are filled with nano-aluminum to form a permeable air gap-free surface. The foil has advantages: 1, high folding resistance, fatigue resistance and strength 2, wrapping self-adhering performance is good, and stripping strength formed after adhesion is several times as high as that of the prior art; 3, air gaps in the surface of the aluminum foil filled with nano-aluminum powder result in improved compactness; manufacture from low-grade aluminum foil, and so that rolling precision requirements are lowered, and manufacturing cost reduced; 4, insulating strength is high, shielding effect is good, the return loss phenomenon is avoided, and tensile strength is good.
