The first aspect of the present invention provides a foamed structure, comprising: a first foamed body extending in a first direction; a second foamed body extending in the first direction and facing the first foamed body with a gap interposed therebetween; and a reinforcement disposed in the gap between the first foamed body and the second foamed body, the reinforcement having an elongated shape, wherein the first foamed body has a portion overlapping with the second foamed body in the first direction view.

PURPOSE: The present invention provides a molded article which comprises a substrate whose surface is covered with a film, has good appearance, and does not deteriorate in the appearance even in severe environment where the article is actually used, such as high-temperature environment. CONSTITUTION: A molded article comprising a substrate whose surface is partially or wholly covered with a film, wherein the film has an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer is in contact with the substrate and the surface of the substrate, which surface is in contact with the adhesive layer, has a surface roughness (A) of 3 to 20 m.

This decorative film is to be bonded to a resin molded body by means of thermoforming, and comprises a sealing layer (I) that contains a polypropylene resin (A) and a layer (II) that contains a polypropylene resin (B). The polypropylene resin (A) satisfies the requirement (a1), while the polypropylene resin (B) satisfies the requirement (b1). (a1) The melt flow rate (MFR (A)) (at 230 C. under a load of 2.16 kg) is more than 0.5 g/10 minutes. (b1) The melt flow rate (MFR (B)) (at 230 C. under a load of 2.16 kg) and the MFR (A) satisfy relational expression (b-1). MFR (B)<MFR (A) (b-1).

A shaped tile and its manufacturing method are described. The manufacturing method for fabricating a shaped tile comprises a thermoforming process, which comprises using a thermoforming mold to perform heat-compression on an intermediate tile so as to melt and deform the intermediate tile while heat-compression is applied, and to form a molding edge on at least one periphery of the intermediate tile such that the intermediate tile is turned into a shaped tile. By employing the proposed present invention, it is advantages of maintaining a final configuration of the shaped tile without getting any distortion.

The present invention relates to a permeable suction mould arranged to support a fibrous product during application of a surface film onto a surface of said fibrous product, said mould including suction carrying structure for delivery of suction to the mould surface wherein said suction carrying structure is formed by a porous structure in a sintered material.

Disclosed herein is a polypropylene-based decorative film to be used for three-dimensional decorative thermoforming, which film is capable of achieving both of sufficient adhesive strength and product appearance and is easy to recycle. A decorative film of the present disclosure contains a layer (II) including a resin composition (B) containing a polypropylene-based resin (B), in which the resin composition (B) satisfies the following requirements (b1) and (b2):(b1) the melt flow rate (MFR)(B) (230 C., a load of 2.16 kg) is 40 g/10 minutes or less, and (b2) the strain hardening degree is 1.1 or more

A method of repairing a contoured structure is provided. The method includes forming and curing on the contoured structure an armature formed of materials that are curable at a temperature lower than a service limit temperature of materials of the contoured structure and removing the armature from the contoured structure and placing the armature with prepregs laminated thereon in an oven to heat cure the armature and the prepregs to form a repair patch.

A method for implementing a channel (56) includes providing a preform (20) having a recess (22) therein and heating a channel implementation element (30) to a temperature greater than a melting temperature of a material of the preform (20). An external contour of the channel implementation element (30) at least regionally corresponds to an internal contour of the channel (56) to be implemented. The method then moves the heated channel implementation and/or the preform (20) in relation to one another so that the heated channel implementation element (56) at least regionally moves into the recess (22) in a moving-in direction. The material of the preform (20) is at least partially melted in a region around the recess (20) and is at least partially displaced by the channel implementation element (30), wherein at least a part of the channel (56) to be implemented is thus implemented.
