Further, the sleeve is radially compressed and rolled along an axial direction. The system also includes an air core sized to fit within the central cavity of the insulating layer. The air core includes a sheet that blocks fluid flow therethrough and a structural support coiled within the sheet and the air core is flattenable and not within the rolled sleeve.

The embodiment relates to a balanced propeller and to an extrudable metal polymer composite and process for making and using the composite to make balancing weight strips for marine or boat propellers. Metal particulate of adequate particle size is mixed with a polymer that is extruded or injection molded to form a high-density weighted strip.

A manufacturing method for a high-pressure tank is a manufacturing method for a high-pressure tank including a reinforced layer formed such that an electrically conductive fiber bundle impregnated with thermosetting resin is wound around a liner. The manufacturing method includes: a step of preparing the tank in which the uncured reinforced layer is formed on the liner; a first heating step of heating the uncured reinforced layer by low-frequency induction heating so the thermosetting resin is softened; and a second heating step of, after the first heating step, heating the softened reinforced layer by high-frequency induction heating so that the softened reinforced layer is hardened.

A tank including a liner; a reinforcing layer formed of fiber reinforced resin that is arranged on the liner; a label arranged on the reinforcing layer; and a surface layer formed of glass fiber reinforced resin that is arranged to cover the label. The reinforcing layer includes an inner layer, and an outer layer having a cover rate smaller than the inner layer and smaller than 100%, the cover rate being a percentage of a volume occupied by the fiber reinforced resin in space of the reinforcing layer, and the outer layer being arranged on the inner layer, and at least a part of the label is embedded in the reinforcing layer.

The present invention provides constructs including a tubular biodegradable polyglycolic acid scaffold, wherein the scaffold may be coated with extracellular matrix proteins and substantially acellular. The constructs can be utilized as an arteriovenous graft, a coronary graft, a peripheral artery bypass conduit, or a urinary conduit. The present invention also provides methods of producing such constructs.

A method of forming a flexible glass-polymer laminate structure includes heating a polymer layer to an elevated temperature of greater than 20° C. and below a working temperature of a flexible glass substrate adjacent the polymer layer. The flexible glass substrate has a thickness of no more than about 0.3 mm. The flexible glass substrate is shaped with the polymer layer at the elevated temperature. The polymer layer is cooled below the elevated temperature such that the flexible glass-polymer laminate structure maintains a non-planar formation.

The present disclosure provides a display motherboard and a method for manufacturing the same, a display substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, and a display device, and belongs to the field of display technology. In the method for manufacturing the display motherboard of the present disclosure, the display motherboard includes a plurality of display substrate areas each including a sub display area and a sub bending area; and the method for manufacturing the display motherboard includes: forming an adhesive force variable back film material having a first adhesive force on a flexible underlying substrate; removing the back film material in positions above the sub bending areas; and treating the remaining back film material to form a back film having a second adhesive force, wherein the second adhesive force is greater than the first adhesive force.

The present invention provides a method for producing a molded body, having the step 1 of applying a composition containing an alicyclic urethane (meth)acrylate to a thermoplastic resin substrate to obtain a coated material, the step 2 of irradiating the obtained coated material with an active energy ray to cure the composition, obtaining a laminated material having a cured product layer obtained from the cured composition, and the step 3 of subjecting the obtained laminated material to bending processing to obtain a molded body, wherein the alicyclic urethane (meth)acrylate has a structure having an alicyclic structure represented by the formula (A), and a group having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups represented by the formula (B), and further has a polymerizable double bond equivalent of 100 to 1,000 g/mol.

Disclosed are a method for producing a laminate including a step of laminating a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition layer on a metal member, wherein the method includes a step of forming a resin coating on the metal member and a step of laminating a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition layer containing a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition containing (I) 20 to 80% by mass of a polymer having a melting point and/or a glass transition temperature of 50 to 300° C., and (C) 20 to 80% by mass of a reinforcing fiber
(provided that the sum of the component (I) and the component (C) is taken as 100% by mass) via the above resin coating; and a laminate obtained by the method.

A paint roller manufacturing system and method are described. In an embodiment, an inner strip of material and an outer strip of material are wound about a mandrel in offset relation. The inner strip of material and the outer strip of material each comprise material that results in a final paint roller which shrinks by less than 2.5 percent of the final paint roller axial length, or which has shrinkage that varies by less +/−0.1%, upon hardening and setting. An adhesive is applied to at least a portion of the outer strip as it is wound about the mandrel. A length of fabric is wound about at least the outer strip to form a paint roller tube, and compression is applied to the paint roller tube while advancing the paint roller tube in a direction parallel to the mandrel. A precision measuring or sensing device is used to control a cutting device causing the cutting device to cut the advancing paint roller tube into pre-selected lengths prior to the paint roller tube hardening and setting.
