A process for producing a nanocomposite of a brittle polymeric material includes forming sheets or films from the brittle polymeric material compounded with a plasticizer. A mat of nanofibres of at least one thermoplastic is sandwiched between two of the sheets or films to form a green nanocomposite structure. The green nanocomposite structure is subjected to an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature to produce a sheet or film nanocomposite of the brittle polymeric material. The sheet or film nanocomposite shows improved impact resistance compared to a neat, uncompounded sheet or film of the same brittle polymeric material

The invention provides a method for delaminating a composite by immersing the composite into a delamination solution; wherein the composite comprises a metal substrate and a coating applied on one side or both sides of the metal substrate, wherein the coating comprises a polymeric binder, and wherein the polymeric binder comprises an aqueous copolymer. The use of delamination solution comprising an alkali metal silicate salt allows for complete delamination of the composite in a highly efficient and extremely fast manner. Furthermore, the delamination method disclosed herein circumvents complex separation processes, contamination and corrosion of the metal substrate and enables an excellent materials recovery. An application of the method for delaminating an electrode for a battery is disclosed herein.

The present description relates to the use of a hazy polymer layer composed of non-oriented HMW-HDPE in a reverse printing film that can be part of a PE-based flexible packaging material used for self-standing packages. The hazy polymer layer can facilitate an excellent matte finish and visibility of the print, for example, or can be part of a co-extruded printing film with skins that provide a glossy finish to the product while enabling good print visibility. The present technology can enable production of PE-based packaging facilitating plastic recycling.

An anti-fatigue gel ground mat based on recycled sponge is disclosed, which includes a ground mat body. A beveled edge structure is arranged around the ground mat body. The ground mat body includes a surface layer, a gel layer, a recycled sponge layer, and an anti-skid layer compounded together in sequence from top to bottom. The gel layer is polyurethane solid gel. By arranging the gel layer, when the user steps on the ground mat body, the surface of the ground mat body is naturally concave to realize fatigue resistance. By arranging the beveled edge structure, the user can be prevented from stumbling, so that the safety is improved. The polyurethane solid gel is extruded in the shape of a snake to a lower surface of the surface layer through extrusion equipment, so that the use level of the polyurethane solid gel can be effectively reduced.

A separation method includes a separation step in which a treatment target electrode including a current collector and an electrode mixture is treated with an ultrasonic wave in water (a treatment liquid) while the frequency of the ultrasonic wave is swept in order to separate the current collector and the electrode mixture from each other. A separation device includes a separation unit that treats the treatment target electrode with an ultrasonic wave in water to separate the current collector and the electrode mixture from each other and a controller that controls the separation unit such that the ultrasonic treatment is performed while the frequency of the ultrasonic wave is swept.

A novel process for ensuring adequate adhesion between a ketone ethylene ether (KEE) and liquid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) roofing membrane and rubberized tape. The process can be used for roofing membrane repair, maintenance, and reinforcement. The present process uses a plasticizer primer comprising phthalate to coat the KEE/PVC roofing membrane, which has been shown to improve the adhesion to rubberized tape, allowing for good adhesion and increasing the lifespan of the repair, maintenance, and reinforcements.
