Laminated parts are described that include a core, a fiber layer arranged on each side of the core and impregnated with a polyurethane resin, and an outer layer that at least partially coats at least one of the polyurethane impregnated fiber layers, in which the outer layer is the cured reaction product of a reaction mixture that includes: (1) a polyisocyanate, (2) a polyether polyol having a molecular weight of 800 Da to 25,000 Da and a functionality of 2 to 8, and (3) a fatty acid ester having isocyanate-reactive functionality. Methods of producing such laminated parts are also described.

Load-bearing apparatus/systems for location in the vicinity of energized power lines are provided. The apparatus includes a base member. The base member has an upper layer and a backing surface layer. An uppermost surface of the upper layer is adapted to support on it at least power line workers and/or related stringing equipment. At least the uppermost surface of the upper layer is adapted to be electrically conductive. Methods for forming the apparatus are also provided.

A flexible carbon fiber decorative veneer may include a veneer panel assembly with a face layer formed from a carbon fiber material, a backing layer formed from a flexible fleece, and an adhesive configured to attach the face layer to the backing layer through activation via at least one joining process. The backing layer may be configured to prevent light from passing through voids or interstitial spaces in the carbon fiber material of the face layer when the backing layer is attached to the face layer via the adhesive. The flexible carbon fiber decorative veneer may be configured for use on an aircraft interior structure, the base structure for which being fabricated from an aviation honeycomb layer and a back panel. The veneer panel assembly may be configured to conform to a radius of at least 0.25 inches on the aircraft interior structure.

An exemplary multi-dimensional load structure may include a base panel having a tiered structure with an upper layer, a lower layer, and at least one interior layer therebetween. The load structure may also have a glass layer applied to at least surfaces of each of the upper layer, the lower layer, and the at least one interior layer not in contact with an adjacent layer. The load structure may further have a coating applied to the exterior of the glass layer. The at least one interior layer may be configured to withstand a greater compressive force than the upper layer and the lower layer and/or the upper layer and the lower layer may be lighter than the at least one interior layer.

A structural panel for a recreational vehicle includes a plurality of layers laminated together to form a lamination. The lamination forms an outer surface of the structural panel, which is configured to form a sidewall, a ceiling, or a floor of the recreational vehicle when mounted in the recreational vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. The structural panel further includes an image that is formed on or in one of the plurality of layers in or internal to the structural panel and which is visible at the outer surface. The image is in a location that is in a known fixed registry with a structural reference, such as the outer perimeter, of the structural panel prior to the panel being mounted in the recreational vehicle wherein the location of the image is known relative to the structural reference of the structural panel.

A laminate countertop with a curved edge profile includes a base support including a synthetic polymer material. The synthetic polymer material can be a closed-cell polymer foam. The base support includes a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing longitudinal sides, at least one of which comprises the curved edge profile, and opposing latitudinal sides. The countertop also includes a laminate cover formed from a cured resin material adhered to and covering at least a portion of the top surface and at least a portion of the curved edge profile of the base support. A method for forming the laminate countertop includes steps of providing the base support and adhering the laminate cover over at least a portion of the top surface and a portion of the curved edge profile of the base support.

Wood-plastic hybrid component for use in a motor vehicle having a multi-component structure including a wood subsection, at least one water-impermeable plastic coating, arranged directly on the wood subsection for protecting the wood subsection, and a plastic subsection. The water-impermeable plastic coating is at least partially directly adjacent to the plastic subsection.
