A resin molded article is equipped with a laminated body in which a core material layer, a cushion layer, and a skin layer are included and laminated. In this configuration, a lowermost layer and a peripheral edge portion of the laminated body are covered by a resin covering layer, and only the upper surface of the skin layer is exposed and serves as a design surface. Moreover, the peripheral edge portion of the laminated body is embedded in an interior part of the resin covering layer.

An interlayer film for laminated glass of the present invention has an average storage modulus (G′) at 110 to 150° C. measured at a frequency of 1 Hz in a shear mode of 15000 Pa or less, and has an adhesive strength of 0.3 N/mm.sup.2 or more as measured in a cross peeling test performed under the following conditions on a cross peeling test sample produced by a predetermined method. Cross peeling test: A maximum load (N) when the polycarbonate plate glass is peeled from the clear float plate glass in a direction perpendicular to an adhesive surface at a rate of 10 mm/min at 23° C. is measured, and that measured maximum load (N) is taken as the adhesive strength.

Methods and apparatus for applying internal features or complex mechanical structures to a surface of a metal part are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for creating an assembly that includes a substrate and a molded piece involves obtaining the substrate, and forming at least one binding feature on a surface of the substrate. The method also includes molding on a surface of the binding feature and the surface of the substrate. Molding on the surface of the binding feature and the surface of the substrate mechanically binds the molded piece to the substrate.

The invention relates to a wind turbine blade having a leading edge erosion shield. The erosion shield comprises an inner layer of a first thermoplastic material, the inner layer being an integral part of the shell body of the wind turbine blade. The erosion shield further comprises an outer layer of a second thermoplastic material attached to the inner layer.

Novel multilayer laminates and lamination methods useful for the production of safety glass are disclosed in which an interlayer is provided between substrates and a porous sealant material is provided in a strip around the perimeter of the interlayer and at least partially in-between the substrates adjacent the interlayer. The space between the substrates is evacuated or de-aired through the porous sealant. The porous sealant is then made into a non-porous, continuous perimeter seal by pressing at or near room temperature or at a moderately elevated temperature to remove pores or gaps. The laminate is further processed at higher elevated temperatures either at or near atmospheric pressure or at elevated pressure to increase the bonding between the interlayer and the substrates and to eliminate most or all of the initial texture on the surfaces of the interlayer.
