Prepregs, cores and composite articles are described that comprise lighter weight materials and/or lower amounts of adhesive than commonly used. In some instances, one or more components of the articles may comprise a repellent material or repellent treatment to reduce the overall absorption rate of adhesive into the components of the article.

A method of producing a veneered element (10), including providing a substrate (1), applying a sub-layer (2) on a surface of the substrate (1), applying a veneer layer (3) on the sub-layer (2), and applying pressure to the veneer layer (3) and/or the substrate (1), such that at least a portion of the sub-layer (2) permeates through the veneer layer (3). Also, such a veneered element (10).

A multilayer film includes an outer foam layer and a gas barrier layer. The multilayer film may also include at least one tie layer and at least one inner layer, and can be configured to have various film layer constructions. For example, the multilayer film can be configured as a five-layer, six-layer, or seven-layer films. The multilayer film can provide unique texture, softness, quietness, gas barrier properties, light weight and low cost per volume. Further, one or more layers of the multilayer film can contain a vinyl-bond rich triblock copolymer to provide sound absorbing properties.

A double-sided adhesive tape is provided, which includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a first side of the adhesive tape, a thermal bonding film layer on a second side of the adhesive tape, and a carrier layer interposing the thermal bonding film layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A total thickness of the adhesive tape is 50-500 m.

Waterproof engineered floor and wall planks have a veneer layer bonded with a plastic composite core, and an underlayer, preferably an underlayer of cork.

A process and system for making a laminated surface covering and the surface covering itself are described. The covering includes several layers bonded to each other. The system performs the process. One example of the process includes passing a first material across a first conveyor, passing a second material across a second conveyor, passing a bonding material across a third conveyor, contacting the first material and the second material to the bonding material, and heating at least one of the first material and the second material. The process also includes introducing the first material, the second material, and the bonding material into a pressure zone such that the bonding material is introduced between a bottom surface of the first material and a top surface of the second material. The process applies pressure to bond the first material and second material together via the bonding material to produce a laminated material.

Several embodiments of the present technology are directed to bonding sheets having enhanced plasma resistant characteristics, and being used to bond to semiconductor devices. In some embodiments, a bonding sheet in accordance with the present technology comprises a base bond material having one or more thermal conductivity elements embedded therein, and one or more etched openings formed around particular regions or corresponding features of the adjacent semiconductor components. The bond material can include PDMS, FFKM, or a silicon-based polymer, and the etch resistant components can include PEEK, or PEEK-coated components.

A cool roofing system includes highly reflective calcined kaolin particles having a solar reflectance of 80% to 92%. When applied to a roofing substrate, the highly reflective kaolin particles produce a roofing system having a solar reflectance greater than or equal to 70%.

A flexible display device includes a display panel, the display panel including a display surface and a rear surface opposite each other, and a plurality of adhesive films on at least one of the display surface and the rear surface, each of the plurality of adhesive films including at least one hole, wherein the plurality of adhesive films have a decreasing density, as a distance from a neutral plane of the flexible display device increases.
