A laminated body in which a thermoplastic resin layer, a thermosetting resin layer, and a protective film are layered one on another in this order, in which the thermosetting resin layer contains a thermosetting resin composition containing two or more kinds of organometallic complex, a surface of the protective film at an opposite side of the thermosetting resin layer has a surface roughness Ra of 30 nm or less, and an amount of nitrogen atoms present at the surface of the protective film at the side of the thermosetting resin layer is less than 1 atm %.

Recyclable films having a first layer containing a polyethylene, a second layer containing a high-density polyethylene and a hydrocarbon resin, and a third layer containing a polyethylene may be used for thermoforming packaging components. Both the first and third layers have an overall density between about 0.92 g/cm.sub.3 and 0.97 g/cm.sub.3. The film structure is advantageous as it can be more easily thermoformed than traditional high-density polyethylene films and can maintain the shape taken during thermoforming, exhibiting minimal warping or shrinking.

Aspects herein provide for a remoldable article configured to attenuate or reduce the results of an impact. The article comprises a plate that is remoldable in a temperature range of about 41 degrees Celsius to about 43.3 degrees Celsius.

Articles of footwear including a thermo-molded upper having a skin composed of one or more low melting point thermoplastic polymers. The skin may include at least one of: a base layer composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer and a grid layer including a yarn composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer. The uppers may be formed by placing a skin and an inflatable bladder into a mold cavity and heating the mold to a predetermined temperature. The inflatable bladder may be inflated such that the skin is pressed against an interior surface of the heated mold cavity to cause the skin to take on the shape of the internal surface of the mold cavity, thereby forming an upper for an article of footwear.

Disclosed herein are a thermoplastic resin sheet having excellent mechanical strength and excellent conformability during molding, a laminated sheet using such a thermoplastic resin sheet, and a molded body. The thermoplastic resin sheet includes a thermoplastic resin containing a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a compatibilizer, wherein the compatibilizer is a modified elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide resin. The laminated sheet includes a base layer containing a polyolefin resin and the thermoplastic resin sheet bonded to one surface of the base layer. The molded body includes a base body containing a polyolefin resin and the thermoplastic resin sheet or the laminated sheet bonded to one surface of the base body.

An orthodontic appliance shaped to receive teeth. The orthodontic appliance can be constructed from a laminate structure with an outer transparent layer and an inner translucent layer. The translucent layer can scatter light to decrease a relative degree or perceived gloss to the human eye, and hence provide a more natural appearance to the orthodontic appliance.
