A thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention comprises: about 100 parts by weight of a polycarbonate resin; about 10 to about 40 parts by weight of a polyester resin; about 0.1 to about 1.0 parts by weight of a chain extender; about 50 to about 80 parts by weight of glass fibers; about 10 to about 25 parts by weight of a phosphorus flame retardant; and about 1 to about 7 parts by weight of a modified polyolefin, wherein the weight ratio of the polyester resin and the chain extender is about 1:0.01 to about 1:0.06. The thermoplastic resin composition is excellent in dimensional stability, flame retardancy, impact resistance, and the like.

The present invention relates to a polyester container. The polyester container is formed from a polyester resin containing a particular content of diol moieties derived from isosorbide and diethylene glycol, and thus can show high transparency in spite of a great wall thickness thereof.

Preform assembly for blow moulding a container, comprising at least a first and a second perform, wherein the first perform is positioned inside the second perform before blow moulding the performs into the container, wherein each perform has a body forming portion having a wall thickness of less than about 8 millimetres, preferably less than about 6 mm.

A structural member including a lightweight core, one or more skins, and a crosslinking nanolayer interposed therebetween that results in significant mechanical strength in the structure. The core is a polymer of reduced density by way of included voids, such as an open or closed cell foam, honeycomb, or corrugated structure. The core polymer has a lower density and may have a higher softening or melting temperature than the polymer skin materials. The core may be discontinuous at the interface with the skin such that only a small percentage of the core surface is actually in contact with the skin compared to the overall area of the interface. The skin may be a thermoplastic layer that attaches to the core material. The skin may be a composite material including non-thermoplastic reinforcements. The crosslinking nanolayer is covalently bonded to the surface of the core material and provides molecular compatibility with the skin material.

A method for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein the plastic preforms being transported along a predetermined transport path and being acted upon and expanded by a flowable medium during this transport, a controllable valve of a reducing station controlling the action of the flowable medium on a compressed-air reservoir, in particular an annular channel, and a desired target pressure being predetermined, with which the compressed-air reservoir is acted upon, this desired target pressure being taken into account in the control of the valve of the reducing station wherein an actual pressure is determined and this actual pressure is compared with the desired target pressure and, from this comparison, a correction value is determined which is taken into account and/or used in the control of the valve.

First, a composite preform 70 including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a in close contact with the outer surface of the preform 10a is made by preparing the preform 10a made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member 40a to surround the outer surface of the preform 10a. Subsequently, the composite preform 70 is heated and inserted in a blow molding die 50 and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die 50, by which the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a of the composite preform 70 are inflated integrally and a composite container 10A is obtained.

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing and putting on gloves capable of producing gloves that fit an individual hand shape and also putting the glove on the hands, and a method for producing and putting on gloves. The apparatus for producing and putting on gloves comprises welding and cutting means which welds and cuts a first elastic film and a second elastic film at a position on the outer side of a contour of a user's hand in a state in which the user's hand is sandwiched between the first elastic film and the second elastic film.
