Adhesion-promoting compositions containing organic titanates and/or organic zirconates and the use of the adhesion-promoting compositions to provide adhesion-promoting layers to enhance adhesion between metal substrates and an overlying free radical-polymerized sealant are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a dehumidification bag and a preparation method thereof. The dehumidification bag comprises a bag body including a first side sheet and a second side sheet, the side sheet comprises an air-permeability and/or a composite film, wherein at least all or part of at least one side sheet is an air-permeability film; a moisture-proof layer covers the outside of the air-permeability. The dehumidification bag provided by the present invention provides an air-permeability on the bag body, and adopts heat sealing between the outer surface of the air-permeability layer and the moisture-proof layer, so that the air-permeability and the moisture-proof layer are in close contact without moisture absorption, which effectively prevents damage during transportation and storage. In the process, the air-permeability is in contact with the air in the outer bag and the effect of the dehumidifier becomes poor or invalid; by setting the moisture-proof layer to be tearable, when the buyer uses the dehumidification bag, the moisture-proof layer can be torn off, which is convenient and fast.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for composites, including short-fiber films and other composites. In certain aspects, composites comprising a plurality of aligned fibers are provided. The fibers may be substantially aligned, and may be present at relatively high densities within the composite. For example, the composite may include substantially aligned carbon fibers embedded within a thermoplastic substrate. The composites may be prepared, in some aspects, by dispersing fibers by neutralizing the electrostatic interactions between the fibers, for example using aqueous liquids containing the fibers that are able to neutralize the electrostatic interactions that typically occur between the fibers. The liquids may be applied to a substrate, and the fibers may be aligned using techniques such as shear flow and/or magnetism. Other aspects are generally directed to methods of using such composites, kits including such composites, or the like.
