One or more aspects of the disclosure pertain to an article including a film disposed on a glass substrate, which may be strengthened, where the interface between the film and the glass substrate is modified, such that the article retains its average flexural strength, and the film retains key functional properties for its application. Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. The bridging of a crack from one of the film or the glass substrate into the other of the film or the glass substrate can be prevented by inserting a crack mitigating layer between the glass substrate and the film.

A method for printing ink on a substrate comprising the steps of coating a glass substrate with an adhesion promoter, depositing one or more layers of ink on the coated substrate, and laminating the imaged substrate. The substrate can be a glass substrate, and the adhesion promoter can include a silane material, powder coating, organophosphate primer suspended in isopropanol.

A laminated panel is provided which comprises, or consists of, a core panel to which an elastomeric resin impregnated single finishing printed paper layer has been applied. The paper for the single finishing printed paper layer is printed to provide a design feature on the laminated panel. Preferably, the design feature has been printed on a lower surface of the single finishing printed paper layer. As a result of the resin impregnation and heating and pressing operations, the single finishing printed paper layer becomes translucent or transparent, and thus allows the printed design feature to become visible. The design feature can be printed onto the single finishing printed paper prior to treatment with the elastomeric resin, or printed onto the previously treated elastomeric resin impregnated paper. The laminated panels can be used in the production of laminated flooring, wall panels or furniture panels.

The present disclosure relates to a decorative panel made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular, for large stationary household appliances. The decorative panel comprises a base body made of thermally tempered flat glass with an operational front and an operational back and has at least one digital print on the operational back.

One example includes a repair assembly that is comprised of a composite patch, an adhesive, and a veil. The adhesive is disposed between a composite structure that includes an anomaly to be repaired and the composite patch and the composite patch. The veil is disposed between the composite structure and the composite patch. The veil generates heat in response to electric power being applied to the veil, with the adhesive being cured with the heat generated with the veil to repair the composite structure including the anomaly.

In laminating resin layers on both surfaces of a metal foil layer by adhering a heat-resistant resin layer to a first surface of the metal foil layer and adhering a heat-sealable resin layer to a second surface thereof, as an adhering method, by employing an adhesive agent unapplied portion forming and adhering process in which the resin layer and the metal foil layer are adhered together by applying an adhesive agent to a region of a joining face of both the layers excluding a part of the region so that an adhesive agent unapplied section is formed, a laminated body having the adhesive agent unapplied section is manufactured. A resin layer removal process for removing a resin layer corresponding to the adhesive agent unapplied section of the laminated body to expose the metal foil layer is performed.

One or more aspects of the disclosure pertain to an article including a film disposed on a glass substrate, which may be strengthened, where the interface between the film and the glass substrate is modified, such that the article has an improved average flexural strength, and the film retains key functional properties for its application. Some key functional properties of the film include optical, electrical and/or mechanical properties. The bridging of a crack from one of the film or the glass substrate into the other of the film or the glass substrate can be suppressed by inserting a nanoporous crack mitigating layer between the glass substrate and the film.

There is provided a template comprising a substrate comprising sapphire and at least one III-N crystal layer, wherein III denotes at least one element of the main group III of the periodic table of the elements, selected from the group of Al, Ga and In, wherein in a region of the at least one III-N layer above the substrate comprises a mask material as an interlayer, wherein the III-N crystal layer of the template is defined by one or both of the following values (i)/(ii) of the deformation .sub.xx: (i) at room temperature the .sub.xx value lies in the range of <0; and (ii) at growth temperature the .sub.xx value lies in the range of .sub.xx0.

A molded product includes a body including a flat part and a projection protruding from the flat part, a design member including a design surface, and an adhesive member sticking the design member to the body. The adhesive member includes a buffer portion formed by cutting off a part of the adhesive member at a position corresponding at least to the projection. Thus, the adhesive member negates differences in level on the body, allowing the design surface to be smooth.

In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, an article includes a first web and second web underlying the first web. The article further includes a bonding pattern. The bonding pattern includes a plurality of discrete bonding points and a sized spacing between each adjacent bonding point sufficient to have inscribed therein a circle having a diameter of about 1 mm to about 12 mm. The bonding pattern is located solely in one of the front end region or the back end region.
