Provided is a curable silicone composition for a release agent which can form a release film having a silicone adhesive with a low release force even when thin and which does not reduce the adhesive strength of the silicone adhesive to other substrates upon releasing the release film. Also provided is a release film, laminate, and method of manufacture. The curable silicone composition comprises: (A) a fluorine-containing organopolysiloxane mixture obtained by mixing the following components (A1) and (A2) at a mass ratio of 1/99 to 99/1; (A1) a fluoro(poly)ether modified organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule along with a fluoro(poly)ether-containing organic group; (A2) a fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule along with a fluoroalkyl group represented by C.sub.4F.sub.9—CH.sub.2CH.sub.2—; (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (C) a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; and (D) an organic solvent.

The invention relates to a composite material comprising cellulose. The composite material comprises a first cellulose-based material, which may be a textile or fabric, and a second cellulose-based material, which may be a film or cellulose based material or powdered cellulose-based material. The second cellulose-based material may be a sheet material comprising cellulose, such as a paper or a regenerated cellulose film. In embodiments the material is a so called “all cellulose composite” where both of the materials that are brought together are different forms of material comprising or being cellulose. For example, the different materials originate from cellulose-based feedstocks. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the composite materials of the invention utilising ionic liquids.

Provided is a laser marking multilayer film that includes: a layer (X) at least as an outermost layer, the layer (X) being made from a resin composition (x) containing a bisphenol-based polycarbonate (A) and a polyester (B), the polyester (B) containing a predetermined compound as a diol component, the resin composition (x) containing the predetermined compound in an amount of 0.1 to 20 mass %; and at least one layer (Y) made from a resin composition (y) containing the bisphenol-based polycarbonate (A) and a laser beam energy absorber (C). The multilayer film does not contaminate equipment such as a T-die and rolls in melt extrusion molding, brings about good laser marking performance. On the multilayer film, laser-marked information does not fade even in long-term use. In the multilayer film, the base material does not deteriorate.

A laminate comprising a heat-resistant polymer film, an inorganic substrate, and a polyamine compound layer formed using a polyamine compound, wherein the polyamine compound layer is formed between the heat-resistant polymer film and the inorganic substrate.

To ease and improve the production of objects, a method is described for producing an object (60) comprising a structural core (10) and an outer coating of polymeric material (52), comprising the steps of (i) coating with polymeric material (50) a lamina (10), wherein the lamina comprises a surface exhibiting macroscopic discontinuities (32) configured so that the polymeric material grips to them in order to form a multilayered piece; (ii) removing parts from the multilayer piece to obtain a contour corresponding to the object, the contour comprising an edge (B) along which a margin of the lamina remains uncovered by the polymeric material.
