Multi-layer films include at least one cavitated core layer that is microporous and breathable, and at least one skin layer. The cavitated core layer includes a polyolefin and an inorganic filler dispersed in the polyolefin. Methods for forming polymeric films and articles of manufacture prepared therefrom are described.

A thermoplastic filament or preform comprising a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer (TLCP) is described. It can be incorporated into threads with one or more thermoplastics, where this filament can be used in 3D printing to produce parts that are stiffer and stronger than conventional 3D printed polymers. In one particularly advantageous embodiment, the TLCP is a multi-fiber core that is surrounded by a continuous solid polymer sheath. Also described are unique processing methods for manufacturing these TLCP-containing filaments.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for manufacturing foam inserts for fuel tanks are disclosed. An example method includes forming, via additive manufacturing, a foam insert having a shape based on one or more properties of a fuel tank that is to receive the foam insert; and quenching the foam insert to form a reticulated foam insert.

The present invention aims to provide a heat-shrinkable polyester film roll having decreased generation of wrinkles or longitudinal shrink mark. The present invention provides a film roll of a heat shrinkable polyester film, wherein a polyester of the polyester film contains recycled raw material from a PET bottle and an acid component of the polyester comprises isophthalic acid, and the film roll satisfies a specific average value of a shrinkage, specific isophthalic acid ratio, and specific thickness unevenness.

Methods for in-situ solution heat treating an additively manufactured metallic component in order to increase the mechanical properties thereof and systems to perform the same. The method can include depositing filler material on a substrate forming a deposition layer, measuring the temperature of a heat affected zone corresponding to the deposition layer, and solution heat treating the deposition layer subsequent to the depositing and proximate to the deposition head. The solution heat treating can include heating the deposition layer to a solution temperature so as to achieve solution heat treatment and controlling the cooling rate of the deposition layer to at or above the critical cooling rate of the filler material until a target temperature is reached. Optionally, the method can include inducing an electron flow in the deposition layer to electromagnetically stir molten filler material in the heat affected zone.

The disclosure is directed at an extrusion printable cellulose-based nanocomposite and method of making same. In some embodiments, the disclosure is directed at a cellulose-based ink or nanocomposite that can be used by a three-dimensional (3D) extrusion-type printer to fabricate or print a 3D object. In some embodiments, the disclosure includes cellulose acetate (CA) that is dissolved in a solvent or solvent mixture to produce a CA solution to which cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are then added to prepare the ink or nanocomposite of the disclosure.
