An article of footwear includes a sole structure and an upper secured to the sole structure. The upper includes a first portion forming the hindfoot section of the upper and a second portion forming the forefoot section of the upper. The first portion is a textile laminate including an inner layer facing the cavity, an outer layer forming an exterior of the shoe, and an intermediate layer disposed between inner and outer layers. The second portion is textile possessing a unitary knit construction.

A transparent article includes a continuous polyester matrix having at least one incompatible filler dispersed therein. The incompatible filler provides domains in the polyester matrix, each domain having a particular dimension, thus providing a range of dimensions for the domains in the article. To create haze, the dimensions are within the range of from about 380 nm to about 720 nm. Once the range of dimensions is determined, a light absorbent composition can be found which absorbs light at a range of wavelengths that at least substantially covers the range of dimensions of the domains. In doing so, it has been found that the haze of the article can be substantially masked. Method for producing the article and for masking the haze are also provided.

A method for producing a primary laminate including a tabstock by feeding a seal laminate comprising bottom food contact layers including a foil layer and a top polyester layer to a laminating station wherein either the foil layer of the underside of the polyester layer has been printed; simultaneously feeding a tabstock, which is narrower than the seal laminate, to the laminating station such that the bottom of the tabstock and the top polyester layer of the seal laminate come into contact to form a primary substrate, simultaneously feeding a plastic film stock; and continuously extruding a polymeric adhesive between the top face of the primary substrate and bottom surface of the plastic film stock.

The present disclosure is directed to a gypsum panel and a method of making such gypsum panel. For instance, the gypsum panel comprises a gypsum core and a first facing material and a second facing material sandwiching the gypsum core, wherein the gypsum core includes gypsum and an acetate polymer. The acetate polymer is present in an amount of less than 1 wt. % based on the weight of the gypsum. The gypsum panel exhibits a nail pull resistance of at least about 70 lb.sub.f when tested in accordance with ASTM C1396-17. The method of the present disclosure is directed to making the aforementioned gypsum panel by providing the first facing material, providing a gypsum slurry comprising gypsum, water, and an acetate polymer onto the first facing material, wherein the acetate polymer is present in an amount of less than 1 wt. % based on the weight of the stucco, and providing a second facing material on the gypsum slurry. The gypsum panel exhibits a nail pull resistance of at least about 70 lb.sub.f when tested in accordance with ASTM C1396-17.

A thermoformable multilayer film includes a first film including a first thermoformable polymer and a second film that includes a first dissolvable layer and a first barrier layer. The thermoformable polymer includes a density from 0.88 g/cm3 to 1.40 g/cm3, the first dissolvable layer includes a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer, the first barrier layer includes a barrier polymer, the first film includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface includes an exposed surface of the thermoformable multilayer film, and the first dissolvable layer is positioned between the second surface and the first barrier layer.

A polymer film including a first portion and a second portion laminated with the first portion. Each portion independently consists of one or more layers. The first and second layers each independently have a melt index ranging from 3.5 g/10 min to 10.0 g/10 min, and lower than 3.5 g/10 min, respectively. Each layer of the first portion independently has a product of its melt index and a thickness ratio of its thickness to the total thickness of the first and second portions, such that the sum of the product of each layer of the first portion ranges from 0.39 g/10 min to 2.50 g/10 min. Each layer of the second portion independently has a product of its melt index and a thickness ratio of its thickness to the total thickness of the first and second portions, such that the sum of the product of each layer of the second portion ranges from 1.10 g/10 min to 2.95 g/10 min.

A laminated glazing for use as a combiner in a head up display comprises first and second glazing panes with at least one adhesive ply and an infrared reflecting film therebetween. Light incident upon the first glazing pane at an angle of incidence of 60 is reflected off the laminated glazing to produce first, second and third reflections, the third reflection being from light reflected from the infrared reflecting film. The laminated glazing further comprises light intensity reducing means between the first and second glazing panes for reducing the intensity of the third reflection. In an aspect, upon directing a beam of electromagnetic radiation having an intensity I.sub.o at 770 nm toward the first pane of glazing material at an angle of incidence of 60, the intensity of the third reflection at a wavelength of 770 nm is less than or equal to 0.185I.sub.o.

Various embodiments for a laminate glass article and related methods are provided. The laminated glass article includes a first and second glass layers with an interlayer positioned therebetween, comprising: a polymer core layer comprising a high modulus polymer (e.g. polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, and polyimide); a first low modulus material layer (e.g. first TPU or first PVB or first EVA) configured between the first layer and the polymer core layer; and a second low modulus material layer (e.g. second TPU or second PVB or second EVA) configured between the second layer and the polymer core layer.
