An article has a substrate and a layer atop the substrate. The layer has: a matrix comprising at least one of hafnium silicate (HfSiO.sub.4) and ytterbium disilicate (Yb.sub.2Si.sub.2O.sub.7); and barium magnesium alumino silicate (BMAS).

The present invention describes various methods for manufacturing gel composite sheets using segmented fiber or foam reinforcements and gel precursors. Additionally, rigid panels manufactured from the resulting gel composites are also described. The gel composites are relatively flexible enough to be wound and when unwound, can be stretched flat and made into rigid panels using adhesives.

An apparatus for producing a cementitious board includes a conveying device for conveying a first liner with first overlap sections-in a transport direction, at least one slurry feeder device for applying at least one layer of at least one slurry comprising a cementitious material onto the first liner, a liner feeding device for providing and arranging a second liner with second overlap sections such that it contacts the first overlap sections of the first liner wherein the at least one layer of the at least one slurry is arranged between the first liner and the second liner, an adhesive foam feeder for providing an adhesive foam on at least one of the first or the second overlap sections, and a means for bonding the first liner and the second liner.

Method for producing a cementitious board (1), wherein a first liner (2) with first overlap sections (5) is provided and furnished with at least one layer of at least one slurry comprising a cementitious material (3); a second liner (4) with second overlap sections (8) is provided and arranged such that it contacts the first overlap sections (5) of the first liner (2), wherein the at least one layer of the at least one slurry (3) is arranged between the first liner (2) and the second liner (4); an adhesive foam (6) is provided at least partly on at least one of the first or second overlap sections (5, 8); and the first liner (2) and the second liner (4) are bonded via the adhesive foam (6) in the overlap sections (5, 8).

The present invention provides a polyacrylic acid copolymer emulsion, an organic-inorganic composite waterproof coating, preparation method thereof, and a waterproof coiled material. It can solve the problem that the granules dropping out from the prior waterproof membrane easily. The organic-inorganic composite waterproof coating according to the invention is prepared by compositing organic granules and inorganic granules, wherein the organic coating locks the inorganic granules, and prevents the inorganic granules from dropping out. Some exposed inorganic granules take part in the cement hydration reaction, and increase the bonding strength with the post-poured concrete. Furthermore, the organic-inorganic composite waterproof coating according to the invention does not need a buttering. It can reduce waste without an adhesive-resist insulation film/paper. Experiments prove that the peeling strength between the organic-inorganic composite waterproof coating and the concrete according to the invention is above 2.0 N/mm after being exposed to the sunshine for 8 weeks.

A process for reinforcing blocks of stone material, in particular extracted from a quarry, comprises the following operative steps: preparing a block of stone material to be treated on a mobile carriage; spreading on said block a layer or film of suitable resin by means of spraying; stretching over the entire surface of the said resin block a reinforcing fabric or fibre layer; and removing the so reinforced block from said carriage after a preset time.

A partition is adapted to support a fixture and has a front surface to which the fixture may be affixed and a back surface that faces away from the fixture. The partition comprises a plasterboard and a reinforcing board, the reinforcing board being located between the plasterboard and the front surface, and the plasterboard comprising at least 1 wt % fibre and at least 1 wt % polymer is additive.

This application provides a 5D ceramic housing structure and a 5D ceramic processing process method, to resolve a problem that long processing time of existing CNC and polishing results in high production costs of a housing of an electronic device and low production efficiency. The method includes: obtaining a raw ceramic material, that is, a ceramic powder; performing casting processing on the raw ceramic material to obtain a to-be-sintered green-state ceramic sheet; performing flat ceramic sheet pre-sintering on the green-state ceramic sheet to obtain a sintered product with a shrinkage rate of 18% to 23%; performing 5D heat-bend forming on the sintered product, to enable the sintered product to be further crystallized and deformed by heating to form a ceramic housing; performing fiber adhesion on the ceramic housing; and forming a 5D ceramic housing structure.

A paper based overlay is provided. The overlay has a paper impregnated with a resin composition having an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature in a range of from about 20 C. to about 40 C. and a resin content from about 15 to about 35 wt. % based on the weight of the overlay and an adhesive is applied at the back of a substrate. The acrylic composition may include wax in the amount of about 0.005 to about 3.5 wt. % based on the weight of the resin composition. A method of producing the overlay is also provided. The overlay is highly water and abrasion resistant with low volatile content.
