The invention relates to an impregnating resin composition containing a) a melamine formaldehyde resin, b) a non-ionic wetting agent, c) a non-ionic release agent, d) a hardener, and e) polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG). The invention further relates to a resin coating which can be obtained by condensing the impregnating resin composition and to a resin coating containing a co-condensate made of the melamine formaldehyde resin and polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG). The invention further relates to an impregnate containing i) the impregnating resin composition or the resin coating and ii) an impregnate carrier material. Another object of the invention is a laminate containing iii) a laminate carrier material and iv) the impregnate or the impregnating resin composition, or the resin coating. A further object of the invention is a method for producing a laminate having the steps of i) applying the impregnating resin composition or the resin coating or the impregnate onto a carrier material and ii) compressing the component from step i). In addition, the invention concerns the use of the impregnating resin composition or the resin coating in the production of wood-based materials, impregnates, and/or laminates.

A novel tubular or profile shapes of co-extruded multilayer polymers. These materials contain tens to thousands of layers of milli-, micro- to nano- polymer layers. These new shapes contain contiguous layers of milli- to nano- polymer layers in three dimensions and these contiguous layers may be twisted or turned to further expand the potential microlayer geometries.

The present disclosure is directed to the use of cellulosic materials, such as wood, paper, etc., or synthetic polymeric materials, such as a thermoplastic, rubber, etc., or a composite containing one or more of these materials as feedstock barrels for the process of injection molding of metallic glasses by rapid capacitor discharge forming (RCDF) techniques.

The invention relates to a biomaterial and/or a biocomposite based on sunflower seed shells/husks. According to the invention, it is proposed that sunflower seed shells/husks are used instead of wood, bamboo or other wood-like fiber products as the original material for the biocomposite products and are used for the production of such products in order to improve the previous biomaterials, and in particular also to design said materials for improved cost efficiency and to improve their material properties.

A formulation includes a polymeric material, a nucleating agent, a blowing, and a surface active agent. The formulation can be used to form a container.

A modular data center includes a controller; a data center control system configured to collect data center data associated with the modular data center via communication with one of the controller and a plurality of sensors; and a data module connected to a power supply source. The power supply source includes at least one of a power grid, a backup power source and a power module. The power module includes electronics equipment for conditioning and distributing power to the one or more data modules. The data module includes a first enclosure defining a first internal space; and a first sensor in the plurality of sensors. The first sensor is in communication with at least one of the controller and the data center control system. A second sensor in the plurality of sensors is in communication with the power supply source.
