A multifunctional diffusion barrier comprising at least one organic polymer and a 2D graphene or 2D graphene derivative material and a method for preparing the multifunctional barrier. The multifunctional diffusion barrier can be used as a liquid and/or gas barrier, or as structural material, or as sealing material, or as a self-cleaning material or as protective material against UV radiation in aeronautical, automotive, marine or building field. The multifunctional diffusion barrier is suitable in producing parts of aircraft such as a fuel tank, a fuel tank conduit and a gasket.

The present invention relates to a vacuum insulating panel (VIP). The VIP comprises an insulating core (2) having upper (3) and lower surfaces (4) and at least one substantially planar reinforcing member (5) arranged on the upper (3) or lower surface (4) of the core (2). The reinforcing member (5) is porous and substantially rigid. The VIP further comprises a barrier envelope, optionally in the form of a barrier film (6), arranged to envelop the insulating core (2) and the planar member (5). The present invention also relates to methods of manufacturing a vacuum insulating panel (VIP).

A glueless dustless composite flooring material system providing PVC-based flooring having layers providing different qualities of hardness, wear-resistance, sound deadening, and decorative patterns, avoiding the use of moisture-susceptible compressed dust filler, with layers fused together, avoiding the manufacturing complexity and delamination risks of using glue or adhesive, with a quickly-cured, UV-cured top coating providing long-lasting high performance and shortening and simplifying the manufacturing, which can be done in a sheet-form, essentially continuous-run manner, with an ability to quickly and simply change the optional design printing and texturing produced, and having an optional underlayment layer.

In a magnetic shield material including a magnetic layer containing a magnetic material and an electrically conductive layer containing an electrically conductive material, the electrically conductive layer is designed to have a thickness corresponding to a frequency band of electromagnetic wave to be shielded. More specifically, the thickness of the electrically conductive layer (thickness of the aluminum foil in the drawing) is designed to have a thickness to maximize magnetic field shield effect of the magnetic shield material (thickness of the aluminum foil corresponding to peak value frequency in curve E in the drawing) in a frequency band of electromagnetic wave to be shielded. This makes it possible to obtain good magnetic field shield effect of the magnetic shield material in the frequency band of electromagnetic wave to be shielded.

The invention is the first modification of the Patent Application with number 1009231 and involves an additional system of three levels which reinforces and improves the dynamic armor of main battle tanks using compressed ferromagnetic powder and electromagnetically reinforced. The main characteristics of the first invention (DE-1009231) for the armor system of tanks and battle vehicles was the use of compressed powder from magnetized or non-magnetized ferromagnetic pulverized materials (Fe, Ni, Co) or other similar synthetic materials that enrich or enhance the desired mechanical properties and the effect of electromagnetic amplification between two solid passive armor plates. The first level (FIG. 1, 2) concerns the placement of high temperature silicone or other material of the same mechanical properties at a suitable thickness proportional to the threat, between the outer passive solid shielding plate and the compressed ferromagnetic powder. The second level (FIG. 1, 3) concerns the modification of the layer containing the ferromagnetic powder by the distribution of the ferromagnetic powder contained in pellets or cubes or rectangular parallelepipeds or other basic geometric volumes from polymeric material with viscous elasticity or other kinds of material with same mechanical properties of thin walls or alternatively its placement in a spatial network with cubic or conical or spherical partition volumes with thin walls made of polymeric material with viscoelasticity or other material with the same mechanical properties and then compress them between the plates of solid passive armor. The third level of reinforcement (FIGS. 1, 4) was achieved by placing a layer of explosive material on the visible side facing to the ferromagnetic powder of the inner passive solid shielding plate in combination with percussion, perforation and temperature sensors. The layer of the explosive may be in a single layer or be contained as based on the inside surface of each individual area of the spatial network or similarly to separate cubes or rectangular parallelepipeds.
