Improved containment mats and systems of containment mats may include multiple adjoining mats with a top surface and a bottom surface. The multiple mats may provide a modular structural mat system that may be installed at a drill site, with multiple mats placed adjacent to each other with a lap joint connecting adjacent mats. A geotextile may be used to cover the lap joints and a coating applied to the geotextile. Such a system may provide containment of potential spills, a reliable working surface for drilling operations, and relatively fast and less expensive installation.

The present invention contemplates a method for forming a composite structure including a plurality of rigid layers and one or more reformable epoxy resin layers. The resulting composite is molded to form a non-planar composite structure.

This specification presents sheets including graphitic materials, including sandwich structures, thermoformed or wet-formed single layer or multilayer structures of graphitic materials, and methods of forming a layer of graphitic material. In accordance with one aspect, the specification presents a multi-layer structure comprising a core layer having a core density between 0.01 and 1 g/cm.sup.3; and a skin layer covering the core layer, the skin layer having at least 10% by weight of a graphitic material, the graphitic material having one or more of graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene, graphite oxide, reduced graphite oxide and graphite, the skin layer having a skin density of between 0.5 and 2 g/cm.sup.3 , a thickness ratio of the skin layer to the core layer being of between 1:1000 and 1:1.

This disclosure provides methods for the chemical modification of microbial derived triglyceride oils, use thereof in polyurethane chemistries, and incorporation thereof as a core material alone or as part of a wood core composite in the production of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, and water skis.

A method for providing container flooring for a container, including: providing a plurality of container flooring boards, each including a plurality of strand layers including strands of wood bonded together, at least a top strand layer and a bottom strand layer of the container flooring board having its strands substantially aligned in a first direction, and a dimension of the container flooring board in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction being selected to extend laterally between sides of the container in use; and arranging the container flooring boards inside the container, each container flooring board being positioned so that the strands of the top strand layer and the bottom strand layer are substantially aligned longitudinally relative to the container and the container flooring board extends laterally between the sides of the container, and respective edges of adjacent container flooring boards abut one another.

A wooden floor with a frame structure is disclosed, which can reduce the internal stress, prevent the deformation of the floor, improve the overall stability and firmness of the floor, effectively reduce the use of adhesive in the production process, reduce the release of formaldehyde, and make the living environment safer. The wood floor with the frame structure includes a core board and a veneer. The long side of the core board is clamped by a left slat and a right slat, and the veneer is covered on the core board, the left slat and the right slat. The surface of the core board contacting with the veneer is a front side and the other side is a back side. A plurality of notches are opened on the front or back side of the core board, and the notches are perpendicular to the left slat and the right slat.

Methods of manufacturing composite sandwich components (100) and composite sandwich components overcome drawbacks in the prior art. For example, the large number of resin filled perforations that are unavoidable when manufacturing prior art composite sandwich components is avoided.
