A recyclable flexible laminate for use in a packaging structure, and method of manufacture, comprising a first structure having an inner surface and an outer surface. The first structure comprises machine-direction oriented polyethylene or biaxially oriented polyethylene. The laminate also comprises a second structure having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the second structure is machine-direction oriented polyethylene or biaxially oriented polyethylene. The first structure and the second structure are adhesively laminated together using an adhesive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a moisture barrier laminate including a moisture trapping layer that maximizes its moisture trapping performance and exhibits an excellent moisture barrier property. The moisture barrier laminate of the present invention includes a gas barrier film substrate A having a gas barrier layer a1 and a moisture trapping layer B formed on the film substrate A as a base. On a surface of the moisture trapping layer B opposite to the film substrate A, a protective resin layer C having a moisture permeability in a range of 4.0×10 to 5.0×10.sup.4 g/m.sup.2.Math.day at 40° C. and 90% RH is laminated.

A laminate includes a substrate, a self-healing layer on the substrate and having a thickness of greater than or equal to about 50 micrometers, a protective layer between the substrate and the self-healing layer, and a surface layer on the self-healing layer and having a thickness of about 20 nanometers to about 300 nanometers, wherein the self-healing layer has a first elastic modulus and the protective layer has a second elastic modulus, wherein the second elastic modulus is about 1.2 times to about 50 times greater than the first elastic modulus, and wherein the surface layer has a friction coefficient of less than or equal to about 1.

An improved sheet for making a three-dimensional article for holding food, such as a food tray, and a method of making a three-dimensional article. The sheet comprises a substrate and a laminate film. The laminate film may comprise a ceramic film and a copolymer layer. The copolymer layer can repair any cracks that occur in the ceramic film when the sheet is thermoformed. The food tray is considered a single material that is recyclable.

The invention relates to a decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel, and to a method for manufacturing such decorative panel. The panel according to the present invention comprises includes at least one foamed layer comprising including an upper side and a lower side, and at least one decorative solid layer either directly or indirectly, affixed on said upper side of the foamed layer, wherein both the foamed layer and the decorative solid layer are wood based materials. The invention also relates to a floor covering consisting of a plurality of such panels.

A multilayer laminate (100) comprises an oriented polyethylene film (102), a biaxially oriented film (104) adhered to the oriented polyethylene film (102), a barrier film (106) adhered to the biaxially oriented film (104), and a multilayer polyethylene (PE) film (108) adhered to the barrier film (106). The biaxially oriented film (104) comprises one or more components selected from biaxially oriented polyamide (BOPA), biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET), and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).

This film-shaped firing material is a film-shaped firing material containing sinterable metal particles and a binder component, in which, when the average thickness of the portion of the film-shaped firing material excluding the edge portion is deemed 100%, the average thickness of the edge portion of the film-shaped firing material is at least 5% thicker than the average thickness of the portion of the film-shaped firing material excluding the edge portion.

A part includes a base material and a surface layer on the base material, wherein a curved surface of the part has: a root mean square height (Sq) of 0.03 μm to 1 μm, a skewness (Ssk) of −1 to 5, and an autocorrelation length (Sal) of 10 μm to 65 μm; and the surface layer is water-repellent, and exhibits a sputtering time of 5 minutes or less, the sputtering time being a time taken from the start of the sputtering to an end point of the surface layer, and the end point being defined, in a profile obtained by an XPS depth direction analysis of the surface layer, as a point where a difference of an absolute value between a carbon atom concentration at a certain measurement point and a carbon atom concentration at a measurement point just prior to the certain measurement point is 1.0 at % or less.
