A metal/polymer composite material is disclosed, wherein the metal/polymer composite material comprises a polymer base and a metal heat-dissipation layer. The heat-dissipation layer comprises a roughed surface with an isotropic surface roughness. The metal heat-dissipation conformally blankets over the roughed surface.

The present invention is a laminate sheet having two laminae. The first lamina is a relatively hard material having first and second surfaces. The first surface has a plurality of raised and generally pointed piercing structures, each structure having a tip. The second lamina is graphite foil material, which is mated to the relatively hard material, such that at least some of the piercing structures pierce the graphite foil material. In one embodiment, the first lamina has no performations and is uniformly smooth. In another embodiment, the second surface also has a plurality of piercing structures and a third lamina comprising graphite foil is mated to the second surface.

A coated panel for a gas turbine engine includes a panel having a panel inner surface and a pocket formed in the panel inner surface, the pocket having a pocket depth. A coating is applied to the pocket such that a coating edge is disposed within the pocket to enhance coating retention to the panel. A gas turbine engine includes a turbine, a combustor to supply hot combustion gases to the turbine along a gas path, and one or more coated panels located along the gas path. The one or more panels includes a panel having a panel inner surface, and a pocket formed in the panel inner surface, the pocket having a pocket depth. A coating is applied to the pocket such that a coating edge is located within the pocket to enhance coating retention to the panel.

A surface with selectable adhesion is achieved by a shape memory alloy that is at least partly coated with a polymer forming a surface structure, thus allowing the adhesion force of the surface to be controlled.

A metallic decorative part for a vehicle display device includes a substrate body molded from a synthetic resin, a metal thin film that is formed of metal and deposited on a surface of the substrate body, and a plurality of grooves deposited on a surface of the metal thin film in accordance with a shape of the surface of the substrate body. The grooves are formed so that a width is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than 3.0 m, and a height is larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than 1.0 m. Accordingly, the metallic decorative part for a vehicle display device can properly secure a metallic texture recognized by a viewer with a configuration in which the metal thin film is deposited on the surface of the substrate body made of resin.

In one example, article comprising a substrate defining an outer surface; a plurality of joint conduits formed in the outer surface of the substrate, wherein each conduit of the plurality of joint conduits exhibits an undercut configuration; and a coating formed on the outer surface of the substrate, wherein the coating substantially fills the plurality of joint conduits formed in the surface of the substrate.

The present application discloses a decorative sheet including a supporting layer and a solid film layer. The solid film layer is disposed on the supporting layer and presents a color. The solid film layer includes a single layer or a composite layer. A thickness and/or material of at least one layer in the solid film layer is set to be varied. In this application, through the change of the thickness and/or material of the solid film layer, the color of the solid film layer can be changed, including shade changes, color changes and other variety changes, so that the decorative sheet has rich color, rich vision, better decoration effect and higher recognition. Furthermore, the present application further discloses a cover plate for a consumer electronic product with the above-mentioned decorative sheet.

A semi-finished product arrangement for producing a fiber composite component by molding a planar semi-finished fiber composite product in a molding tool is provided. The arrangement includes the semi-finished fiber composite product and multiple holding elements fixed in place thereon and each extending beyond the edge of the semi-finished fiber composite product. The holding elements are countersunk in recesses of the semi-finished fiber composite product, in order to avoid a projection in terms of height.

An amorphous structure layer is formed on a surface layer of a bonded portion of each of side brackets. A bottomed hole layer including a plurality of bottomed holes is formed on a surface layer of the amorphous structure layer. Each of the bottomed holes has a reverse-tapered shape, which has, between an opening portion and a bottom portion of each of the bottomed holes, a bulged portion having a larger inner circumference than the opening portion. An adhesive is injected into the bottomed holes. An outer circumferential surface of the bonded portion of each of the side brackets and an inner circumferential surface of an end portion of a center beam face toward each other with the adhesive interposed therebetween.

A method for integrally molding a metal and a resin and a metal-resin composite structure obtainable by the same are provided. The method comprises forming a nanopore in a surface of a metal sheet; melting a thermoplastic resin on the surface of the metal sheet formed with the nanopore; and injection molding the thermoplastic resin onto the surface of the metal sheet. The thermoplastic resin includes a mixture of a main resin and a polyolefin resin, the main resin is a polycarbonate, and the polyolefin resin has a melting point of about 65 C. to about 105 C.
