Embodiments of the present invention disclose a refrigerator having a main body including a storage space, a door coupled to the main body, and a glass film member covering at least a portion of a front surface of the door. The glass film member includes a glass panel, a protection layer bonded onto the glass panel, a film bonded to the protection layer, the film including a transparent film layer having a pattern formed on a surface thereof, a metal deposition layer deposited on the transparent film layer, and a coating layer coated on the transparent film layer.

The present disclosure relates to a method of providing a laminated vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (1), wherein the method comprises: providing a lamination assembly (10) comprising a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11) comprising at least two glass sheets (11a, 11b) separated by a plurality of support structures (12) distributed in a gap (13) between the glass sheets (11a, 11b), and a lamination layer (2) arranged between one of the glass sheets (11a, 11b) of the vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11) and a further sheet (3). The further sheet (3) may be subjected to a first heating temperature (T1) by means of a first heating arrangement (9a), and the glass sheet (11a) of the vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11) facing away from the further sheet (3) may be subjected to a second heating temperature (T2) by means of a second heating arrangement (9b), wherein the first heating temperature (T1) is higher than the second heating temperature (T2). The disclosure additionally relates to a system (100) for providing laminated vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units (1), and use of such a system.

Unique insulation articles including corrosion inhibitors and methods of producing the same are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an article of manufacture comprising an insulation mat comprising a cured combination of a plurality of randomly oriented fibers and a binder, the insulation mat extending between a first surface and a second surface, a veil attached to the first surface, the veil structured to inhibit physical movement of the cured combination through the veil, a metal sheet attached to the second surface by a water-containing adhesive contacting the metal sheet and the second surface, and a corrosion inhibitor composition deposited on the cured combination of the insulation mat, the corrosion inhibitor composition being effective to modify toward neutral a pH of the cured combination in contact with water from the water-containing adhesive.

The present invention relates to a halogen-free epoxy resin composition, a prepreg and a laminate containing the same. The halogen-free epoxy resin composition comprises 60 parts by weight of epoxy resin, from 15 to 28 parts by weight of benzoxazine resin, and from 10 to 20 parts by weight of styrene-maleic anhydride. The present invention discloses using from 15 to 28 parts by weight of benzoxazine resin and from 10 to 20 parts by weight of styrene-maleic anhydride to cure 60 parts by weight of epoxy resin, to ensure the Df stability of prepregs at different curing temperature conditions while maintaining low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. The prepregs and laminates prepared from the resin composition have comprehensive performances, such as low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, excellent flame retardancy, heat resistance, cohesiveness, low water absorption and moisture resistance, and are suitable for use in halogen-free multilayer circuit boards.

A piston for an internal combustion engine and method of construction thereof are provided. The piston includes an upper crown formed at least in part by a first metal material and a thermally insulating insert. The upper crown has an upper wall forming an upper combustion surface and a ring belt region. The upper combustion surface is formed at least in part by the thermally insulating insert. The thermally insulating insert has a base surface with pores extending upwardly therein. The first metal material is infused and solidified in the pores, with the first metal material forming a first bonding surface. The piston further includes a body portion formed from a second metal material. The body portion provides pin bosses having coaxially aligned pin bores and diametrically opposite skirt portions. The body portion has a second bonding surface bonded to the first bonding surface of the first metal material.

The present disclosure relates to composite materials comprising a resin and at least one sheet that comprise optionally cellulose filaments (CF), fillers and optionally reinforcing fibers as well as methods for the preparation thereof. The methods comprise impregnating the sheets comprising the cellulose filaments, fillers and optionally the reinforcing fibers or a stack thereof with resin.
