A photocurable composition including a condensing gas and a polymerizable compound is applied to a substrate or a mold, the photocurable composition is sandwiched between the substrate and the mold and then the photocurable composition is irradiated with light to cure the photocurable composition, and the mold is released from a surface of the cured photocurable composition.

Method for coating a product having a wall formed by at least a portion having at least partly a cell structure, preferably at least partly an open cell structure, wherein a foil or foil laminate is pressure formed over at least a part of at least one side of said wall, said foil or at least one layer of said laminate forming a coating of said part of the wall.

Disclosed are methods and compositions for forming a flexible, open cell molded foams based on MDI-based isocyanate comprising at least one polymer polyol present in the composition in an amount of at least about 6 pphp; one or more components capable of forming a thermoset matrix; and a blowing agent comprising at least one chemical blowing agent, such as water, and at least one physical blowing agent selected from the group consisting of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFC0-1233zd(E)), 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa); 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (365mfc), blends consisting essentially of at least about 80% of HFC-365mfc and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (227ea), and combinations of any two or more of these.

A method of forming a blow molded plastic article wherein the article comprises an airflow conduit, comprising: providing a first sheet of insulation material located on a insulation carrier; providing a blow molding mold including two halves and having a molding surface defining a molding cavity to form the article; locating the insulation carrier between the two halves of the blow molding mold; transferring the first sheet of insulation material from the insulation carrier to the blow molding mold; introducing an extrudate of thermoplastic composition between the two halves of the blow molding mold; closing the blow molding mold; forming the extrudate to a shape of the mold cavity of the blow molding mold to form the article; and bonding the extrudate to the first sheet of insulation material as the extrudate is being formed to the shape of the mold cavity.

In outer shape processing of a resin expanded sheet having a resin expanded layer including a polyamide-based resin composition,the outer shape processing is carried out while allowing a specified amount or more of moisture to be contained in the resin expanded layer.

A method of printing a cellular solid by direct bubble writing comprises introducing an ink formulation comprising a polymerizable monomer and a gas into a nozzle, which includes a core flow channel radially surrounded by an outer flow channel. The ink formulation is directed into the outer flow channel and the gas is directed into the core flow channel. The ink formulation and the gas are ejected out of the nozzle as a stream of bubbles, where each bubble includes a core comprising the gas and a liquid shell overlying the core that comprises the ink formulation. After ejection, the polymerizable monomer is polymerized to form a solid polymeric shell from the liquid shell, and the bubbles are deposited on a substrate moving relative to the nozzle. Thus, a polymeric cellular solid having a predetermined geometry is printed.

A sandwich component (10) having a honeycomb core layer (4) and at least one fiber-reinforced thermoplastic outer layer (3) and the corresponding production method. The outer layer (3) is connected to the honeycomb core layer (4) by a thermoplastic material. At least one side of the sandwich component (10 has a decorative layer (1,1), which is arranged on the outer layer (3). The sandwich component (10) furthermore has at least one foam layer (2), which is arranged between the outer layer (3) and the decorative layer (1,1), and which is connected to the outer layer (3) and the decorative layer (1,1).

A method is provided for making an annular reinforcement structure having inner and outer reinforcement bands maintained in concentric alignment by a resilient spacing element positioned between the bands. The method includes the steps of placing the spacing element against the inside face of the outer reinforcement band and compressing the spacing element with a jig, adjacent the top edge of the outer reinforcement band. The spacing element is sufficiently compressed to allow the inner reinforcement band to slide into concentric alignment with the outer reinforcement band, with a minimum of deflection and/or distortion of the inner reinforcement band.

A novel material for producing auxetic foams is disclosed. The material comprises a multiphase, multicomponent polymer foam with a filler polymer having a carefully selected glass transition temperature. Novel methods for producing auxetic foams from the material are also disclosed that consistently, reliably and quickly produce auxetic polyurethane foam at about room temperature (25 C.). This technology overcomes challenging issues in the large-scale production of auxetic PU foams, such as unfavorable heat-transmission problem and harmful organic solvents.

An acoustic panel for indoor use, where the panel is a molded synthetic foam and is designed to absorb sound waves. The acoustic panel can take the form of a barrier, partition, or screen, and can mimic the effect that soft furnishings would normally have. The acoustic panel can be designed to absorb unwanted noise.
