(R1 represents an isopropyl group or a t-butyl group, and R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms), and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the acrylic rubber is in the range of 100,000 to 5,000,000.

A conductive composite structure has a conductive interface surface that enhances conductivity and provides corrosion protection by co-curing a metal-mesh gasket adjacent to a metal wire mesh layer in a multi-layer laminate structure. By co-curing metal-mesh gasket and metal wire mesh layers, gasket tear off and non-conductive resin face issues are eliminated. The conductive interface surface may be ablated to expose at least a portion of the metal-mesh gasket and create potential wire-to-wire contact points when complementary interface surfaces are brought together to create a highly conductive contact interface that eliminates or reduces electromagnetic shielding leakage within the conductive interface region.

A multifunctional diffusion barrier comprising at least one organic polymer and a 2D graphene or 2D graphene derivative material and a method for preparing the multifunctional barrier. The multifunctional diffusion barrier can be used as a liquid and/or gas barrier, or as structural material, or as sealing material, or as a self-cleaning material or as protective material against UV radiation in aeronautical, automotive, marine or building field. The multifunctional diffusion barrier is suitable in producing parts of aircraft such as a fuel tank, a fuel tank conduit and a gasket.

A gasket material, in which a crosslinked rubber layer compounding 30 to 200 parts by weight of titanium oxide based on 100 parts by weight of NBR or hydrogenated NBR is formed on a metal plate, improves blister resistance, and thus exhibits an excellent effect of preventing rubber peeling of the gasket in the engine and leading to an improvement of engine malfunction. Further, the use of NBR or hydrogenated NBR results in an advantage of low cost relative to that of fluororubber. Therefore, the gasket material of the present invention is effectively used as a cylinder head gasket.

Fireworthy sealants may have a variety of compositions and be made by a variety of techniques. In certain implementations, a fireworthy sealant may include a body comprised of a cured, tacky, soft, deformable non-adhesive gel. The gel body may have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the gel body, in an uncompressed state, define a body thickness. The sealant may, in an uncompressed state, be dimensioned to fit in a first opening between a wall and an aircraft component surface and deformable when under compression to fit in a second opening, smaller than the first opening. The sealant may be flame retardant and produce low smoke density and low smoke toxicity.

The present invention is directed to a monoaxially oriented, cross-linked multilayer film.

The invention is further directed to a method of producing and preserving a food product using such a film, bag or pouch and to a packaged food product obtained therefrom.

A rubber-metal laminate that includes a metal member; and a rubber layer provided on the metal member, wherein the rubber layer has a 100%-modulus value in accordance with JIS K6251 of 8.5 MPa or more and a thickness of 80 μm or more. A gasket that includes the rubber-metal laminate.
