A method for preparing a liquid crystal polymer film, comprising: (1) spinning a liquid crystal polymer into fibers, and maintaining the fibers for 0.1 hour to 36 hours at a temperature of 200 C. to 400 C. under a vacuum degree less than 500 Pa for later use; (2) weaving the fibers prepared in step (1) into cloth for later use; and (3) pressing the cloth prepared in step (2) into a film at a temperature of 200 C. to 400 C., and then stretching the film to obtain the liquid crystal polymer film. The liquid crystal polymer film prepared by the preparation method is good in mechanical property, and has a tensile strength that can exceed 170 MPa. The prepared liquid crystal polymer film is applied to a FPC, which makes the FPC have a dielectric constant less than 3, and a small dielectric loss tangent angle.

The invention relates to a mannequin for presenting or photographing at least one clothing article (K) arranged appropriately on the mannequin (1), with a front side (10) and a back side (11) facing away from the front side (10). It is provided according to the invention that the mannequin (1) has at least one continuous cutout (100, 101) such that the back side (11) of the mannequin (1) is not visible in a plan view of the front side (10) of the mannequin (1) from a predefinable line of sight (3) in the area of at least one cutout (100, 101).

A composite body is provided that includes a rigid polyurethane foam shell and an elastomeric polyurethane layer disposed over the rigid polyurethane foam shell. The rigid polyurethane foam shell defines a cavity within the composite body. The rigid polyurethane foam shell has a closed cell content of at least 70% and comprises the reaction product of a first isocyanate component and a first isocyanate-reactive component in the presence of a blowing agent. The elastomeric polyurethane layer is disposed over the polyurethane foam shell. The elastomeric polyurethane layer comprises the reaction product of a second isocyanate component and a second isocyanate-reactive component. A method of forming the composite body includes the step of molding the rigid polyurethane foam shell, demolding the rigid polyurethane foam shell from the mold, and applying an elastomeric polyurethane composition upon the rigid polyurethane foam shell after demolding to form the elastomeric polyurethane layer.

A polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener has a warp yarn thickness Tb which is 0.94 times or less of a warp yarn thickness Ts. A selvage area having a constant width is present on two opposite ends, continuously in a line form in the warp direction, without misalignment in the weft direction. As a result, when the polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener is sewn onto a garment or the like, a sewing thread sewn to the selvage area is in a straight line without meandering, and thus a sewn product excellent in appearance can be obtained.

The invention described herein relates to non-woven mats and to methods for making same. The mat is formed from fibres that comprise a first polymeric material. The mat comprises a flange-portion (3) that is of greater density than the remaining portion of the mat and that further comprises a second thermoplastic polymeric material having a melting-point temperature that is lower than the melting-point temperature of the first polymeric material. The mats can be used in the formation of plates used in rotating biological contactors (RBCs). Other examples of applications include the formation of air filters, demisters and floating treatment wetlands.
