A joined body of the embodiments is a joined body which includes copper and resin, wherein in a joint surface of the copper to the resin, a triazine thiol derivative, or the triazine thiol derivative and a silane coupling agent are bonded to a base surface and the silane coupling agent is bonded to an oxide film formed on part of the joint surface, respectively, and the copper and the resin are molecularly joined to each other. This configuration makes it possible to obtain a joined body having high reliability by molecularly joining both the base surface and the oxide film of the copper, and the resin securely and achieving a strong joint of the copper and the resin at a time of joining the copper and the resin even though the oxide film is formed on part of the joint surface of the copper.

The present invention is a method for manufacturing inflatable bladders for use in articles of manufacture. The method includes the steps of providing a first polymer film, applying a curable release coating to the polymer film in a pattern that corresponds to the configuration of the inflatable bladder, curing the release coating to the first polymer film, providing a second polymer film with the first polymer film to form a layered element such that the release coating is disposed between the polymer films, positioning the layered element between two plies of material, applying heat and pressure to adhere the polymer films together except in the area where the release coating has been applied to form an inflatable compartment surrounded by a sealed perimeter, and removing the plies of material from the adhered first and second polymer films.

Exercise mats, systems of exercise mats, and related methods of making and/or using the same are provided herein. More specifically, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to exercise mats, such as yoga mats, and systems of exercise mats that provide visual cues and/or different levels of tackiness to provide different levels of grip to optimize a user's connection to the mat and methods related to the exercise mats.

A process for in-line extrusion of polymeric coatings onto roofing shingles during manufacturing includes moving a web of shingle substrate material in a downstream direction and extruding a liquefied coating of polymeric material onto at least one surface of the moving web to form a thin film. The liquefied coating may be a molten polymeric material that forms a thin film on a back surface of the shingle material to prevent sticking and eliminate the need for a traditional back dusting with material such as powdered stone. The polymeric film further may be applied to the substrate material in lieu of a saturation coating of asphalt, thus reducing cost and weight while providing a comparable moisture barrier and a lighter more flexible shingle.

To provide a ply adhesive that is capable of expressing a sufficient ply adhesion strength, does not harden an area where the ply adhesive is applied, and does not worsen paper texture. The problem can be solved by a ply adhesive that includes: 1-5 mass % of carboxymethylcellulose, a 1 mass % aqueous solution of the carboxymethylcellulose having a viscosity of 100 mPa.Math.s or lower, as an adhesive; and 1-5 mass % of at least one member selected from among propylene glycol, glycerol and butylene glycol as a softening agent.

A touch display panel, a manufacturing method thereof, and a touch display device are provided. The touch display panel includes a driving circuit layer, a light-emitting functional layer, an encapsulation layer, and a touch layer stacked on the substrate. The touch layer includes an electrode layer and a signal conversion layer. The electrode layer is formed by growing a ferromagnetic material on the encapsulation layer. The signal conversion layer is configured to convert a change of a magnetic signal at a touch position into an electrical signal. An interaction between a human bioelectricity and the touch layer is used to improve touch sensitivity.

Prepregs, core layers and composite articles comprising one or more flame retardant materials are described. In some instances, a thermoplastic composite article comprises a porous core layer comprising a plurality of reinforcing fibers, a first thermoplastic material, and a second thermoplastic material from a compounded flame retardant material comprising the second thermoplastic material and a flame retardant material. In other instances, a thermoplastic composite article comprises a porous core layer comprising a plurality of reinforcing fibers, a first thermoplastic material, expandable graphite materials and a group II metal hydroxide or a group III metal hydroxide.

A multi-layer membrane with fire-resistant properties having improved thermal stability and shelf-life is provided. The multi-layer membrane 10 has at least a water resistant polymeric layer 12 bonded to a fire resistant component 13. The fire resistant component 13 has a first fire retardant coating 16 bonded to a carrier layer 14. The fire resistant component may further include a second fire retardant coating 28 bonded to a surface of the carrier layer opposite to the first fire retardant coating. The first and second fire retardant coatings comprise a filler 24, 30 mixed with a carrier 26, 32. The membrane may include a back bonding layer 36 bonded to the bottommost layer thereof to adhesively secure to a structural support structure such as a roof. A release liner 42 may be releasably secured to the back bonding layer. Additional layers may be included to provide for further support and/or additional functional properties to the membrane.

An air bag packaging arrangement and a self-adhesive checking valve, the air bag packaging arrangement includes an air bag and an air valve which is the self-adhesive checking valve. The air bag includes first and second cell overlapped layers to form an air chamber and a valve opening. The air valve includes first and second sealing films overlapped between the first and second cell layers, and a strengthening film provided between the first valve film and the first cell film to strengthen a joint strength between the first valve film and the first cell film, so as to prevent the first valve film from being broken, so as to further avoid an air leakage.

This disclosure includes ice packs that comprise paper and absorbent material, and also includes various methods of making, adding liquid to, freezing, shipping, and/or using such ice packs. This disclosure also includes assemblies that include one or more such ice packs, such as, for example, a container of a plurality of such ice packs in dry, wet, and/or frozen states, or a container that includes an ice pack in a hydrated, frozen state and one or more perishable items.
