A rear SMC component is adhesively bonded to a central SMC component to form a cavity adjacent the rear wall that encloses a tapping plate. A reinforcing SMC component is adhesively bonded to the central SMC component with a rail portion against the top wall and a rear gusset portion against the rear wall. Conductive heaters are positioned directly against the surfaces on both sides of the adhesive for the rail portion but only on the interior side of the adhesive for the gusset portion, because the rear component blocks access thereto. As a result, the adhesive for the gusset portion is only partially cured by the heater. A gusset fastener is installed through the rear gusset portion and the rear wall and into the tapping plate to fixedly retain the rear gusset portion against the rear wall while this partially cured adhesive subsequently cures.

The present disclosure relates to a window for a flexible display device, including: a first film including a transparent base film and a plurality of holes passing through the transparent base film; a second film overlapping the first film; a buffer layer between the first film and the second film to attach a first side of the first film and a first side of the second film; and a hard coated layer on a second side of the second film.

A method for manufacturing at least one part of an engine component by means of a blank from an intumescent material, which contains at least one fibrous matrix of organic and/or inorganic fibers and an intumescent substance, is provided. The blank is created from the intumescent material with a three-dimensional structure that is already adjusted with respect to its contours to the contours of the part of the engine component to be manufactured and the blank comprising the three-dimensional structure is impregnated through a hardening resin, and is connected, prior to or after the impregnation, to at least one support material that is also already adjusted to the contours of the part to be manufactured and at least partially forms the engine component together with the blank connected thereto.

The present invention relates to a two-component polyurethane adhesive consisting of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component, wherein the polyol component comprises a triol with a molar mass of 1,000 to 10,000 g/mol, a diol having two primary hydroxy groups and a molar mass of 60 to 150 g/mol, a poly(trimethylene oxide) diol or a poly(tetramethylene oxide) diol with a molar mass of 200 to 3,000 g/mol and an aliphatic polyamine. The adhesive is characterized by high early strength, a low temperature dependence of the mechanical properties, good adhesion and the possibility of controlled thermally induced release of adhesion.

An internal tensioning structure for use in an inflatable product fulfills the basic function of maintaining two adjacent inflatable surfaces in a desired geometric arrangement when the inflatable product is pressurized. The tensioning structure is formed by connecting a pair of plastic strips sheets via spaced-apart strands, such as strings or wires. When pulled taut, the strands provide a high tensile strength between the two opposed plastic strips. At the same time, the plastic strips facilitate a strong, long-lasting weld between the tensioning structure and the inflatable product.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for controllably changing (e.g., weaken, strengthen, eliminate, add, customize, alter, etc.) surface tack of thermal interface materials. Also disclosed are exemplary embodiments of thermal interface material assemblies, which include coatings configured to change surface tack of the thermal interface materials.

A method of forming a molybdenum composite hybrid laminate is disclosed. The method includes treating a surface of each of a plurality of molybdenum foil layers. The method further includes interweaving the surface treated molybdenum foil layers with a plurality of composite material layers. The method further includes bonding with an adhesive layer each of the surface treated molybdenum foil layers to adjacent composite material layers to form a molybdenum composite hybrid laminate having improved yield strength.

A method for making a laminated glazing panel is described. A bolt having a head portion and a stem portion extending therefrom is positioned in a hole in a sheet of glazing material so that a first surface of the head portion is faces in the direction of a first major surface of the sheet of glazing material and the stem portion extends beyond a second major surface of the sheet of glazing material. A sheet of adhesive interlayer material is positioned on the first major surface of the sheet of glazing material to cover the first surface of the head portion. Suitable lamination conditions are used to laminate the sheet of adhesive interlayer material to the sheet of glazing material. During lamination, fluid trapped between the first surface of the head portion and the sheet of adhesive interlayer material is removed via a fluid pathway associated with the stem portion. Laminated glazing panels made using the method are also described.
