A mandrel is disclosed which is suitable for use in surface metallization process (eiectrodeposition) by electrolysis. The mandrel has at least one inner coating which is metallized on an outer surface of the mandrel by electrolysis method such that it almost entirely covers the outer surface thereof, allowing electrical conductivity to be created on the surface and at least one outer coating which is obtained by almost entirely an electrolytic and/or electroless metallization on the inner coating.

A carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a woven facecloth with an applied latex or hot-melt adhesive precoat, an extruded polymer backing layer, and an optional polyester cushion, comprising a reinforcing scrim layer within a polyester layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the polyester cushion or extruded layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the pre-coat of the coated facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform backing layer, and the polyester cushion may be laid onto the extruded polymer backing layer while the extruded polymer backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer backing layer, and the entire web is chilled.

A resin molding mold in accordance with the present application is a resin molding mold for molding a resin molded product. The resin molding mold includes a molding mold and a mirror-surface coat layer formed on a mold surface of the molding mold. The mirror-surface coat layer is formed by a thermosetting resin having a thermal conductivity in a range from 0.10 W/(mK) or more to 0.99 W/(mK) or less. The thickness of the mirror-surface coat layer is set in a range from 1.0 m or more to 30 m or less, and is preferably set to 20 m or less. The surface of the mirror-surface coat layer is provided with a flat-surface maintaining part formed into a substantially flat surface.

A method of making a multi-section tank with composite material includes pre-tensioning the composite material, wrapping a soluble tool in the composite material, and curing the composite material around the soluble tool. The composite material is pre-tensioned with force to align fibers in the composite material.

A novel cutting-edge structure and method and apparatus for manufacturing the cutting-edge structure is provided. The cutting-edge structure is comprised of naturally derived or renewable material at greater than 50% by volume fraction. In one embodiment, the naturally derived material is a cellulose nanostructure such as a cellulose nanocrystal. The cellulose nanocrystal is processed using a base or mold structure to provide a cutting edge of any shape such as linear or circular edge structures. The process includes dual cure steps to produce an optimal cutting-edge structure without shrinkage. The formed cutting-edge structure can be utilized as a razor blade as it is formed with very sharp tip and edge suitable for cutting hair. The base structure can form one or more cutting-edge structures simultaneously.
