The invention relates to the field of polymer materials and processing. Provided are a polymer sheet and a manufacturing method and a use thereof. The polymer sheet has a thickness less than its average hole diameter. The polymer sheet is in the form of a cellular board having through holes in the thickness direction, and has a through-hole ratio of 20%-60%, a thickness of 10-500 m, and an average hole diameter of 10-500 m. The manufacturing method comprises a roll material supplying step, a continuous cutting step and a rolling step. The continuous cutting step has a precision error of 0.02 mm. The above method can be used to manufacture a material having a low density, high impact resistance, a high compression rate, and low compression set and capable of serving as a sealing and buffering material for an electronic device.

The present invention relates generally to a protective wrap and a protective envelope or pouch made therefrom, as well as the apparatus and process for forming such wraps and envelopes. Water-based heat-expandable adhesives (WBHEA) which include a plurality of heat-expandable microspheres are disposed in a pattern between web substrates on a continuous, high speed manufacturing line to produce padded, insulated products useful as envelopes, mailers and other protective packaging.

The invention relates to a cover or case for goods, in particular for use as a cover or case for hobby or sports equipment. In an embodiment, the case has an inner portion, formed of expanded polypropylene (ePP) and defining a cavity for receiving at least part of the item. The case also includes an outer layer, formed of self-reinforcing polypropylene (srPP), arranged to cover an outer surface of at least part of the inner portion. In further embodiments, the cover is formed of two or more sections that may be arranged to at least partially overlap, wherein adjusting the overlap of the at least two sections changes the dimensions of an inner cavity within the cover or case. The case may be telescoping, in order to provide adjustable dimensions for a cavity within the case.

In one embodiment, a packaging material can be used to form a package such as a bag or a box. The material has a substrate and a plurality of insulation members, each having a body that is adhered to a surface of the substrate and each having a plurality of expandable microspheres. The bodies are a pattern such that the bodies are spaced apart from one another by gaps. The expandable microspheres expand in response to the application of energy such that the insulation members to expand towards one another to at least partially fill in the gaps. In another embodiment, the material has microspheres that are activated such that the insulation members include extensions that extend from their respective bodies towards one another to fill in the gaps.

An air bag packaging arrangement and a self-adhesive checking valve, the air bag packaging arrangement includes an air bag and an air valve which is the self-adhesive checking valve. The air bag includes first and second cell overlapped layers to form an air chamber and a valve opening. The air valve includes first and second sealing films overlapped between the first and second cell layers, and a strengthening film provided between the first valve film and the first cell film to strengthen a joint strength between the first valve film and the first cell film, so as to prevent the first valve film from being broken, so as to further avoid an air leakage.

Implementation described and claimed herein include a cushioning structure and method for manufacturing a cellular cushioning system, which allows for maximum comfort through the compression and shock cycle. Specifically, a cushioning structure comprises void cells formed in an array, which comprise multiple outwardly curved surfaces, with varying radius measurements. Stiffness in the void cells can vary by varying the Radii. Outwardly curved surfaces prevent buckling and provide support for high impact by absorbing energy.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed generally to multilayer films suitable for use in forming pouches, such as (but not limited to) bioprocessing pouches. When used in the formation of solution pouches, the disclosed films help prevent or reduce the number of seal failures, such as during transportation or use. The disclosed films comprise first and second vibration dampening layers and first and second barrier layers.

A multi-layer foam sheet with an apparent density of 30 to 300 kg/m.sup.3 and a thickness of 0.05 to 2 mm, including a foam layer containing a polyethylene-based resin (A), and an antistatic layer fusion-laminated by coextrusion on each of both sides of the foam layer. The antistatic layer has a basis weight of 1 to 10 g/m.sup.2 and contains a polyethylene-based resin (B), a polystyrene-based resin, a styrenic elastomer, and a polymeric antistatic agent, with the polystyrene-based resin being contained in the antistatic layer in an amount of 15 to 70% by weight.

The packaging bag is a packaging bag made of a laminate formed in a bag shape, the laminate being composed of a paper substrate, a foamed sheet made of polyolefin resin laminated on an inner side relative to the paper substrate, and a sealant layer laminated on an inner side relative to the foamed sheet, which are laminated with the sealant layer facing inward. In the packaging bag, a thickness of the foamed sheet is in a range of 0.8 mm to 5.0 mm, an expansion ratio of the foamed sheet is in a range of 15 to 50 times, and a bending stiffness of the paper substrate in an MD direction is in a range of 150 mN to 700 mN.

The invention relates to a multilayer structure comprising at least one layer of supramolecular material and one layer of rigid material, to a method for producing such a structure by casting a composition comprising a precursor of the supramolecular material, and to the uses of the structures produced, especially for applications where a dampening of impacts, vibrations and/or sound waves is desired, for example for producing locomotion vehicles such as automotive, rail, nautical, aeronautical or aerospace vehicles, or for the construction industry.
