A method of manufacturing a hexagonal boron nitride laminate contains steps of: a) Dissolve dielectric polymers in solvent. b) Mixing h-BN powder to form a well-mixed h-BN coating slurry. c) Coating slurry on substrates and dried at 100-150° C. The substrates can directly be etched or processed to form electric circuits. Substrates can also be completely etched or detached to attain a free standing laminate. Thereby, a hexagonal boron nitride laminate exhibit thermal conductivity of 10 to 40 W/m.Math.K, which is significantly larger than that currently used in thermal management. In addition, thermal conductivity of hexagonal boron nitride laminates increases with the increasing mass density, which opens a way of fine tuning of its thermal properties. For heat dissipation application, hexagonal boron nitride laminate coating can significantly enhance the performance of LED light bulb.

Described are coextruded multi-layer biaxially oriented polyolefin barrier films with improved processability, moisture vapor barrier, and stiffness. The disclosed films comprise a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) core layer blended with hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin and at least one outer layer having functionality for solvent resistance, heat sealing, or winding, or printing/coatings or adhesion for lamination.

An edge-beaded fastener product such as a cushion cover tie-down has a molded profile bead secured to and extending along a flexible strip adjacent a longitudinal edge of the strip. The profile bead has a shoulder or an inboard sidewall extending away from the strip, such as for retaining a clip or hog ring. The flexible strip may have a reinforced region, inboard of the shoulder, in which resin contiguous with resin forming the profile bead encapsulates surface features of the strip. The product is made by molding resin directly onto the strip. Multiple lanes of resin may be molded on a single substrate, which is severed to form individual strips with severed, exposed strip edges.

A multilayer film having Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) is prepared by first co-extruding a multilayer film, then stretching the multilayer film in the machine direction at a temperature lower than the melting point of the polyethylene resin that is used to prepare the film. At least one layer of the film is a first polyethylene composition having a density of from about 0.94 to about 0.97 g/cc and at least one second layer is prepared from a polyethylene composition having a lower density than the first polyethylene composition. This disclosure enables the manufacture of films having outstanding barrier properties (low Water Vapor Transmission Rate, WVTR, and low Oxygen Transmission Rate, OTR) and good physical properties.

An object of the invention is to provide a multilayered structure having very superior gas barrier properties and being excellent in flex resistance, pinhole resistance, stretchability, thermoformability and interlayer adhesiveness, and having superior durability enabling characteristics such as high gas barrier properties to be maintained even if used with deformation such as flexion and/or stretching, and to provide a laminate in which the multilayered structure is used, and a production method thereof. Provided by the present invention is a multilayered structure in which at least 4 resin-layers constituted with a resin composition containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer are contiguously laminated. A single layer of the resin layer has an average thickness of preferably no less than 0.01 μm and no greater than 10 μm. The average thickness is preferably no less than 0.1 μm and no greater than 1,000 μm. When the content of ethylene units of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is no less than 3 mol % and no greater than 70 mol %, the saponification degree is preferably no less than 80 mol %.

An automatic welding machine, comprising a supporting frame and a tensioning device for reversibly joining at least two opposing booms to one another and applying a tension force between these, having an open position in which the opposing booms are separated from one another by a gap and a closed position in which the opposing booms are joined to one another and braced with respect to one another. One boom is mounted in a torsion-proof manner on the tensioning device and is pivotable in relation to the other boom and can be moved out of the open position into the closed position by the pivoting of the tensioning device. The tension force is generated by way of a spring-loaded element disposed on the tensioning device, wherein the spring-loaded element, at one end, is rigidly connected to a supporting element of the tensioning device and, at the other end, is pivotably mounted on the supporting frame by way of a double swivel joint, and the spring-loaded element is tensioned by the pivoting of the double swivel joint out of the open position into the closed position, whereby a torque is applied onto the pivotable boom.

Furthermore, the gearbox can be implemented as a worm gear mechanism comprising a worm that is seated directly on a motor shaft of the drive motor and two counter-rotating worm gears driven by the worm.

A method of manufacturing hexagonal boron nitride laminates contains steps of: a) Dissolving dielectric polymers in solvent. b) Mixing h-BN powder to form a well-mixed h-BN coating slurry. c) Coating slurry on substrates and dried at 100 to 150° C. d-1) For free standing h-BN film, peel off h-BN dielectric polymer layer from substrate in water batch by roll to roll process. d-2) For h-BN film on substrates, heat compression of the substrates and hBN laminates at 100 to 250° C. for multi-layer structures.

In addition, thermal conductivity of hexagonal boron nitride laminates increases with the increasing mass density, which opens a way of fine tuning of its thermal properties.

Disclosed are ethylene polymer compositions containing a homogeneously-branched first ethylene polymer component and 15-35 wt. % of a homogeneously-branched second ethylene polymer component of higher density than the first ethylene polymer component. The ethylene polymer composition can be characterized by a density from 0.912 to 0.925 g/cm.sup.3, a ratio of Mw/Mn from 2 to 5, a melt index less than 2 g/10 min, and a CY-a parameter at 190° C. from 0.35 to 0.7. These polymer compositions have the excellent dart impact strength and optical properties of a metallocene-catalyzed LLDPE, but with improved machine direction tear resistance, and can be used in blown film and other end-use applications. Further, methods for improving film Elmendorf tear strength also are described.
