A process for producing a resinous panel which is for use as at least some of the front panel of an article, the process including (A) a step in which a resin sheet having a thickness of 0.5-10 mm is fixed to a working table and (B) a step in which the resin sheet is punched out by forcing a Thomson blade into the resin sheet approximately perpendicularly thereto from the side where the surface of the resin sheet is to be the outer surface of the article, thereby obtaining the front panel, wherein (C) the Thomson blade is a double-edged blade having an edge angle of 30-60 degrees. The resin sheet has a tensile modulus of preferably 1,500 MPa or greater. Preferably, the resin sheet includes a transparent resin sheet layer and a colored resin sheet layer in this order from the surface that is to be the outer surface of the article. The colored resin sheet is one which does not break when a DuPont impact test was conducted in accordance with ASTM-D2794 in a 0° C. environment under the conditions of a height of 50 cm, an impactor diameter of 1 inch, an impactor weight of 1 Kg, and a pedestal diameter of ½ inch.

The present invention relates to a production method for an aerogel laminate including a support, and an aerogel layer disposed on the support and having a thickness of 200 μm or less, the method comprising a step of washing a wet gel laminate including the support and a wet gel layer disposed on the support by a roll-to-roll scheme.

Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an anti-slip coating, a polymer adhesive layer, embossing, increasing the thickness of the tab, and/or increasing the overall surface area of the tab.

Provided are a transparent conducting film laminate to which a curl generated during a heating step and after the heating step can be controlled, and a method for processing the same. A transparent conducting film laminate comprises a transparent conducting film 20 and a carrier film 10 stacked thereon, wherein the transparent conducting film 20 comprises a transparent resin film 3, transparent conducting layer 4, and an overcoat layer 5 stacked in this order, the transparent resin film 3 having a thickness T.sub.1 of 5 to 25 μm and being made of an amorphous cycloolefin-based resin, the carrier film 10 is releasably stacked on the other main face, the face opposite to the face having the transparent conducting layer 4, of the transparent resin film 3 with an adhesive agent layer 2 therebetween, and a protection film 1 has a thickness T.sub.2 which is 5 times or more of the thickness T.sub.1 of the transparent resin film 3 and is 150 μm or less, and is made of polyester having an aromatic ring in its molecular backbone.

Multilayer riblet applique and methods of producing the same are described herein. One disclosed example method includes applying a first high elongation polymer material to a web tool, where the web tool is to be provided from a first roll, and heating, via a first heating process, the first high elongation polymer material. The disclosed example method also includes applying a second high elongation polymer material to the first high elongation polymer material, and heating, via a second heating process, the second high elongation polymer material. The disclosed example method also includes applying, via a laminating roller, a support layer to the second high elongation polymer material.

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.

A reinforced water-resistant board includes a cover board with a reinforced water-resistant membrane applied to a surface of the cover board. The reinforced water-resistant membrane includes a primer layer, a reinforced membrane, a traffic coat, and a sealing layer. The primer layer is applied over the surface of the cover board. The reinforced membrane includes fleece soaked in a liquid resin and is applied over the primer layer. The traffic coat is bonded to the reinforced member. The sealing layer is applied over the traffic coat.

Provided are wallboard panels comprising laminated multi-ply paper cover sheets bonded with a non-ionic polymeric binder and a cross-linker, and methods for making the wallboard panels.
