A technology for improving molding properties while minimizing curling after molding in a battery packaging material comprising a laminate that is provided with a barrier layer, a heat-sealable resin layer positioned on one surface side of the barrier layer, and a polyester film positioned on the other surface side of the barrier layer. This battery packaging material is configured from at least a laminate provided with a barrier layer, a heat-sealable resin layer positioned on one surface side of the barrier layer, and a polyester film positioned on the other surface side of the barrier layer. The birefringence of the polyester film is in the range of 0.016-0.056.

The invention provides a cover tape and the method for manufacturing the same. The cover tape comprises an antistatic layer, two intermediate layers, a base layer, two tie layers and a heat seal layer. These seven layers are formed by a co-extrusion process.

A flexible flat cable (FFC) includes a first insulation layer, at least one pair of conductors, a plurality of low-k dielectric layers, two second insulation layers, and at least one shielding layer. The pair of conductors is located within the first insulation layer. Each pair of conductors includes a plurality of first conductors, and the first conductors are axially extending and arranged in parallel. The low-k dielectric layers are embedded in the first insulation layer. Each of the pair of conductors or each of the first conductors is covered and surrounded with one low-k dielectric layer. The two second insulation layers are located on two surfaces of the first insulation layer. The shielding layer is located on the two second insulation layers opposite to the first insulation layer.

Composite panels and methods of preparation are described herein. In some embodiments, the composite panel can include a first fiber reinforcement, a polyurethane composite having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface is in contact with the first fiber reinforcement; and a cementitious material adjacent the first fiber reinforcement opposite the polyurethane composite. The polyurethane composite can be formed from (i) one or more isocyanates selected from the group consisting of diisocyanates, polyisocyanates, and mixtures thereof, (ii) one or more polyols, and (iii) a particulate filler. The fiber reinforcement can be formed from a woven or non-woven material, such as glass fibers. The composite panel can further include a material, such as a second fiber reinforcement and a cementitious layer, in contact with the second surface of the polyurethane composite. Articles comprising the composite panels are also disclosed.

In an embodiment, a heat-seal film includes 10-90 wt % of a first polymer component and 10-90 wt % of a second polymer component, based on a total weight of the first polymer component and the second polymer component, wherein: the first polymer component includes propylene, and optionally, up to 18 wt % of a C.sub.2 and/or a C.sub.4-C.sub.20 α-olefin based on a total weight of the first polymer component; and the second polymer component includes 91-99.9 wt % of propylene and 0.1-9 wt % of ethylene based on a total weight of the second polymer component, the second copolymer component having a melt flow rate of 2-60 g/10 min. In another embodiment, a multi-layer film structure includes a heat-seal layer including a heat-seal film described herein; and an unoriented, an uniaxially oriented, or a biaxially oriented base layer including polypropylene homopolymer, a polypropylene random copolymer, or a combination thereof.

Protective clothing materials and related methods and garments are provided. In some embodiments, a protective clothing material may comprise a fibrous layer that serves as a barrier to certain fluids (e.g., bodily fluids, water) and microbes. The impermeability of the fibrous layer may be due, at least in part, to the structural uniformity and/or relatively small pore size of the fibrous layer. In some embodiments, the fibrous layer may have a relatively high air permeability that imparts beneficial properties (e.g., relatively high air flow, breathability) to the protective clothing material without adversely affecting its protection rating. In certain embodiments, the protective clothing material may also comprise one or more coarse nonwoven webs that impart beneficial properties (e.g., splash resistance) to the protective clothing material. The protective clothing materials, described herein, may be particularly useful for a wide variety of applications, including the formation of AAMI level 4 protective garments.

The present invention discloses an artificial graphite flake manufacturing method, which uses the PI (polyimide) films as the material; via a stacking step, a first heating step and a second heating step, the PI films are processed to form the artificial graphite flakes so as to increase the lubrication and the hardness, improve the heat conduction for balancing temperature increase and better the smoothness; in addition, via a perforation step, a hole structure is formed on the artificial graphite flakes so as to increase the heat diffusion area and the air permeability of the artificial graphite flakes, and then increase the defect-free rate and the smoothness thereof.

A multi-layer film includes a first-seal layer and a second-seal layer. The multi-layer film may be used to form a package for consumer-care products.

The present invention refers to a polymeric film comprising odor barrier material and being able to pack malodorous waste.

A multi-threat protection composite containing at least 15 textile layers having an upper and lower surface and a non-blocking pressure sensitive adhesive (NonB-PSA) composition on at least the upper surface of each textile layer. The NonB-PSA coating contains a pressure sensitive adhesive and a plurality of first inorganic particles, wherein the ratio by weight of the first inorganic particles to the pressure sensitive adhesive is greater than about 1.2 and wherein the NonB-PSA coating is in an amount of at least about 10 g/m.sup.2 on each surface the NonB-PSA coating is located. The first inorganic particles have a median primary particle size of less than about 5 micrometers.
