A resin molded article includes a first resin formed of a polyolefin, reinforcing fibers, a second resin selected from a group consisting of a resin containing at least one of an amide bond and an imide bond, a resin containing an ester bond, and a resin having a linking group containing a sulfur atom, and a compatibilizer. The absolute value of difference in melting temperature between the first resin and the second resin is 130 C. or lower. At least a portion of the second resin forms domains in the first resin. The domains include first domains that do not contain the reinforcing fibers and second domains that contain the reinforcing fibers and that include a coating layer formed of at least a portion of the second resin on the periphery of the reinforcing fibers. The second domains include a second domain A containing one of the reinforcing fibers and a second domain B containing two or more of the reinforcing fibers.

The present disclosure relates to a method to produce a coating layer, including applying a coating composition on a surface of a carrier, curing the coating composition to a coating layer, and subsequently applying pressure to the coating layer. The disclosure further relates to a method to produce a building panel, and such a building panel, and to a method to produce a coated foil, and such a coated foil.

Tooling and components of an injection-molding system may be used to mold a foam article. The tooling and components may include features that control parameters of the injection-molding and foaming process, such as temperature, pressure, shot size, shot placement, and the like.

A thermoplastic elastomer foam is made by incorporating a gaseous or supercritical blowing agent under pressure into a molten thermoplastic elastomer comprising polymeric crystalline domains, then releasing the pressure to foam the thermoplastic elastomer.

The presently disclosed web, stampable sheet, and expansion molded product contain a reinforcing fiber containing an inorganic fiber and an organic fiber, a thermoplastic resin, and a thermal expandable particle, where the proportion of the reinforcing fiber is 20 mass % or more and 55 mass % or less based on a total amount of the reinforcing fiber and the thermoplastic resin, the proportion of the organic fiber is 25 mass % or more and 77 mass % or less based on a total amount of the organic and inorganic fibers, the reinforcing fiber has an average length of 8 mm or more, and the organic fiber has a breaking elongation of 15% or more.

This invention relates to antimicrobial materials and articles, such as fibres, yarns, and their incorporation into textiles, packaging for food or beverages, or articles of clothing such as gloves. The antimicrobial fibres and yarns may be formed of a polymer and may comprise silver particles dispersed therein. The present invention contemplates a polymer batch precursor to the fibre of the invention and further products formed of the fibre or the polymer batch, for example textiles.

To provide an ion exchange membrane for alkali chloride electrolysis, which has low membrane resistance and which reduces the electrolysis voltage during alkali chloride electrolysis, even if the spacing between reinforcing yarns is made narrow to increase the membrane strength. This ion exchange membrane 1 for alkali chloride electrolysis comprises a fluoropolymer containing ion exchange groups; a reinforcing material embedded in the fluoropolymer and formed of reinforcing yarns and optionally contained sacrificial yarns; and elution holes of the sacrificial yarns present between the reinforcing yarns, wherein in a cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the reinforcing yarns forming the reinforcing material, the average distance (d1) from the center of a reinforcing yarn 22 to the center of the adjacent reinforcing yarn 22 is from 750 to 1,000 m, the total area (S) obtained by adding the cross-sectional area of an elution hole 28 and the cross-sectional area of a sacrificial yarn 24 remaining in the elution hole 28 is from 500 to 5,000 m.sup.2 per elution hole, and the number n of elution holes 28 between adjacent reinforcing yarns 22 is from 4 to 6.

An ink contains an admixture of a copper nanoparticle, a copper precursor molecule (e.g. a copper-aminediol complex), and a polymeric binder, the polymeric binder containing a polyester, polyimide, polyether imide or any mixture thereof having surface 5 functional groups that render the polymeric binder compatible with and/or soluble in a diol. The ink may be deposited on a substrate providing a trace that is conductive and directly solderable and has better mechanical strength than copper inks containing other types of polymeric binders.

Fiber-reinforced organic polymer aerogels, articles of manufacture and uses thereof are described. The reinforced aerogels include a fiber-reinforced organic polymer matrix having an at least bimodal pore size distribution with a first mode of pores having an average pore size of less than or equal to 50 nanometers (nm) and a second mode of pores having an average pore size of greater than 50 nm and a thermal conductivity of less than or equal to 30 mW/m.Math.K at a temperature of 20 C.

The present invention relates to a textile fiber structure comprising man-made fibers fortified by a binder comprising a polymer latex obtained from the emulsion polymerization in aqueous medium of a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising: (a) an aliphatic conjugated diene (b) a vinyl aromatic compound; (c) an ethylenically unsaturated silane bearing at least one silicon bonded hydrolysable group, and (d) an ethylenically unsaturated acid
and to its use in construction applications, and to the use of the above binder to fortify textile fiber structures.
