A laminate structure and method of forming is provided. The laminate structure includes a first metal sheet having a first thickness, a second metal sheet having a second thickness, and an adhesive core having an adhesive thickness. The adhesive core is disposed between and bonded to the first and second metal sheets. The first and second metal sheets are made of an aluminum based material and the adhesive core is made of an adhesive material also described as a viscoelastic adhesive material. The laminate structure is configured such that a ratio of the sum of the first and second thickness to the adhesive thickness is greater than either to one (8:1). The laminate structure including the viscoelastic adhesive core is characterized by a composite loss factor at 1,000 Hertz which is continuously greater than 0.1 within a temperature range of 25 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius.

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing leather, which not only significantly suppresses the occurrence of adhesive wrinkling and boarding/alighting wrinkling when used for an automobile seat, for example, but also exhibits appropriate flexibility. The present invention is a method of manufacturing leather including a pretreatment step, a tanning step, a retanning step, and a drying and finishing step in this order, the retanning process including, in the following order, subjecting a shaving leather obtained from the tanning process to a stage of performing treatment using a predetermined retanning agent and a predetermined resin, a stage of performing treatment using a predetermined retanning agent, a predetermined resin, and a predetermined fatliquoring agent, and a stage of performing treatment using a predetermined resin and a predetermined fatliquoring agent, and the drying in the drying and finishing process including, in the following order, subjecting a leather obtained from the retanning process to a stage of drying under reduced pressure under predetermined conditions and a step of drying at atmospheric pressure under predetermined conditions.

A novel polyoxymethylene resin composition is provided, which may be availably used as engineered plastics in various industrial fields and products, such as vehicle parts. The poly resin includes polyoxymethylene, aramide fibers, and thermoplastic polyurethane, thereby providing the novel composition of polyoxymethylene resin and improving various physical properties thereof, such as thermal stability.

Polymeric materials and methods for making the polymeric materials utilizing bisphenolic stillbottoms, lignosulfonates, or both are disclosed. In one embodiment, a polymer is provided that includes a condensate of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an optional phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an aldehyde, and a lignosulfonate compound. The condensate may further include an amino compound, a catalyst, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, the polymer may be free of a phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms. The polymers may be used in the manufacture of articles including composites, laminates and paper products.

The present invention relates to a polyketone resin composition and to a production method therefor; and relates to a polyketone copolymer having outstanding water resistance, moisture-absorption rate and shock resistance, characterised in that the polyketone copolymer comprises repeat units represented by general formulae (1) and (2) and has an intrinsic viscosity of between 1.0 and 2.0 dl/g. Because of the outstanding moisture-absorption rate and shock resistance, the present invention can be used in, inter alia, marine bolts, clips and holders, connectors, switches, bobbins, sludge-treatment chains, cable ties, automotive fuel injection ports, green juicer screws, office partition frames and box frames.
