A functional film and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The functional film includes a polyurethane resin matrix and a plastic optical molding material. In the functional film, a content of the polyurethane resin matrix is between 48 wt % and 95 wt %, and a content of the plastic optical molding material is between 5 wt % and 50 wt %. The functional film further includes an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant additive, and an antibacterial additive. The functional film satisfies following test standards: (1) reaching level 4 of a phenolic yellowing test; (2) passing at least 60 hours of a QUV (ASTM G154) test; (3) passing at least four weeks of a water decomposition resistance test under the test conditions of 70 C. and 95% relative humidity; and (4) passing at least one certification of Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS).

A multi-layer article includes a non-active state and an active state. The multi-layer article includes an outer layer with a first side and a second side, and at least one inner layer that is disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the outer layer and that includes a volatile material therein. The at least one inner layer is coupled to the outer layer in both the active state and the non-active state. The multi-layer article is folded along an axis so that an upper portion of the multi-layer article is disposed on a lower portion of the multi-layer article. The outer layer is a non-porous, non-permeable material that includes an aperture.

Provided herein are protective masks made with polymer-based materials and methods of forming the materials. Methods of forming the interlaced polymer-based materials comprise applying adhesive to a substrate, electrospinning a first polymer solution onto the substrate from a first group of spinning electrodes, electrospinning a second polymer solution onto the substrate from a second group of spinning electrodes, and applying hot air to dry the polymer-based materials electrospun from the first polymer solution and the second polymer solution to form the interlaced polymer-based materials.

The present disclosure provides a thin film made from a hydrophilic polymer, where the thin film includes a peroxide and/or an additive, methods of for making these thin films, and methods of using these thin films.

A method for increasing the impact resistance of plastic articles comprising providing a blend of cottonseed oil and plastic resin; fabricating a plastic article from the blend by rotatably screw working the blend into a molten state and molding the molten blend material into the article shape.

Methods for making a personal care product and a personal care product are provided. In one example, the method includes forming a first layer by an additive process. The first layer has a first composition that includes at least one filler component selected from the group of starch, bulking agent salt, granular acid, clay mineral, sorbitol, silica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. A binder is applied to the first layer. A second layer is formed by the additive process overlying the binder. The second layer has a second composition that includes at least one filler component selected from the group of starch, bulking agent slat, granular acid, clay mineral, sorbitol, silica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. At least one of the first composition and the second composition further includes at least one surfactant.
