A method for preparing a PBAT laminated membrane composite material uses PBAT or a material with PBAT as the main component and other biodegradable plastic or superfine calcium carbonate in a mixture. The temperature of the mixture is increased by means of a lamination machine segment by segment, the material is heated slowly to a molten state, and the temperature of a rolling shaft is controlled by introducing cold water to the rolling shaft when the lamination machine conducts membrane lamination, so that the temperatures of rolling wheels and the laminated membrane are controlled.

Simulated tissue structures for practicing surgical techniques and methods of manufacturing those structures are provided. In particular, a realistic organ model or simulated tissue portion for practicing the removal of a tumor or other undesired tissue followed by suturing a remnant defect as part of the same surgical procedure is provided. The simulated tissue structures include a polyp simulation having a suturable mesh layer that is separable from a defect layer. A simulated colon model with interchangeable and suturable tissue pods is also provided as is a fully suturable rectum model and a rectum model with integrative suturable and removable polyp zones.

A method of manufacturing a transport refrigeration unit is provided. The method includes providing an enclosure including an outer layer and a supporter. Providing the enclosure includes supplying one of a first material and a second material to a mold. This also includes supplying the other of the first material and the second material on the one of the first material and the second material that is supplied to the mold. Also, this includes curing the first material and the second material integrally that are supplied to the mold. The first material forms into the outer layer and the second material forms into the supporter. The second material includes a plurality of reinforcing fibers.

Simulated anatomical components, such as simulated vascular vessels, produced by a method that includes forming an anatomical component mold from a soluble polymer such that the mold defines an interior void of the simulated anatomical component. One or more layers of an elastomeric material is applied around the anatomical component mold and the material is allowed to cure to form a wall of the simulated anatomical component. At least a portion of the mold is dissolved to form a passage for liquid within the simulated anatomical component. Simulated anatomical components are connectable to other components of a surgical simulation system and can be modularized.

Freestanding microporous thin films, made using plastic waste, can be used as a hydrophobic coating, filtration membranes, or oil-sorbents. A method for producing the microporous thin film involves dissolving the plastic in an organic solvent to obtain a solution; and applying the solution onto a solid substrate through spin-coating followed by controlled heating, resulting in a freestanding porous thin film. Plastic waste comprises recycled polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polystyrene (PS), recovered from a waste plastic material derived from post-consumer and/or industrial waste. The approach of fabricating multi-functional thin films from plastic waste combines an effective way to address multiple environmental issues simultaneously.

The present invention is directed to the production of shipping containers, computer server farm containers, and other forms of physical storage containers from a carbon nanotube-based fiber material with the potential application of other, non-carbon, nano-based materials containing various structures. Current materials used for shipping containers, computer server farm containers, and other forms of physical storage containers are heavier than the present invention and lack the ability to withstand high-intensity shock vibrations and other disturbances and are vulnerable to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Instead of using metal, which is the currently preferred material used in the development of shipping containers, computer server farm containers, and other forms of physical storage containers, the present invention provides the use of a carbon nanotube-based material.
