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.

A physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous foam structure derived from recycled metallized polyolefin material; polypropylene, polyethylene, or combinations thereof, a crosslinking agent, and a chemical blowing agent is obtained. The foam structure is obtained by extruding a structure comprising a foam composition, irradiating the extruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

A thermal barrier coating includes a highly porous layer and a dense layer. The highly porous layer is formed on a heat-resistant base, is made of ceramic, has pores, has a layer thickness of equal to or larger than 0.3 mm and equal to or smaller than 1.0 mm, and has a pore ratio of equal to or higher than 1 vol % and equal to or lower than 30 vol %. The dense layer is formed on the highly porous layer, is made of ceramic, has a pore ratio of equal to or lower than 0.9 vol % that is equal to or lower than the pore ratio of the highly porous layer, and has a layer thickness of equal to or smaller than 0.05 mm.

The present invention relates to a double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer and, specifically, to a double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer, comprising an outer glass layer and an inner polycarbonate layer so as to have improved heat insulation and earthquake resistance. The double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer comprises: a glass layer forming an outer layer; a polycarbonate layer forming an inner layer; a vacuum layer (VL) formed between the glass layer and the polycarbonate layer; and sealing means for sealing the VL while coupling the glass layer and the polycarbonate layer.

A frame for bonding a first glass component to a second glass component with a desired thickness of adhesive is disclosed. The frame has a horizontal top portion sized to overlap the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion has a distal surface which is configured to contain the adhesive when poured on the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion is thicker than the layer of adhesive to be used so that the second glass component may be placed within the frame to abut the distal surface. The frame also has a vertical side portion which extends downward from the horizontal top portion and is sized to wrap around the first perimeter.

A protective coating system includes a substrate that has an exterior surface exhibiting a degree of valley/hill surface irregularity including a plurality of hills and a plurality of valleys and a first coating layer formed directly on to the exterior surface of the substrate and that conforms to the exterior surface of the substrate such that the first coating layer has a non-uniform coating thickness over the substrate. The protective coating system further includes a second coating layer formed directly on to the exterior surface of the first coating layer. The second coating layer includes a plurality of pores within the second coating layer. Still further, the protective coating system includes a third coating layer formed within at least some of the plurality of pores within the second coating layer.

Protective coating systems for gas turbine engine applications and methods for fabricating such protective coating systems are provided. An exemplary protective coating system includes a substrate formed of a ceramic matrix composite material, a first coating layer formed directly on to the substrate and comprising an oxygen barrier material, a compliance material, or a bonding material and a second coating layer formed directly on to the first coating layer and comprising a thermal barrier material. The exemplary protective coating optionally includes a third coating layer partially formed directly on to the second coating layer and partially formed within at least some of the plurality of pores of the second coating layer.

The exhaust element comprises an outer shell made of a composite material and an inner thermal protection. The inner thermal protection comprises a layer of high temperature insulation material and an inner liner for abrasion protection of the high temperature insulation material. The inner liner is a high temperature resistant textile.
