Relating to a sliding member for a fixing device having a resin coating film on a sliding surface, to provide a manufacturing method for the peeling member for the fixing device capable of forming a fine recessed groove as a lubricant reservoir on a surface of the resin coating film. The manufacturing method for the sliding member for the fixing device includes a coating film forming step of forming a resin coating film by drying a resin coating material after applying the resin coating material including a matrix resin on at least a sliding surface of the base material of the sliding member slid on the belt member, a coating film baking step of baking and hardening the resin coating film, and a recessed portion forming step of forming a recessed portion, which becomes a lubricant reservoir when the coating film baking step is performed, on the surface of the resin coating film, after the coating film forming step and before the coating film baking step.

An object of the present invention is to provide a heat shrink tube excellent in peelability and transparency, and a method for producing the heat shrink tube. The present invention provides a peelable heat shrink tube comprising a composition containing a melt-processable fluororesin and PTFE, the PTFE lacking a heat history of its melting point or higher after polymerization and having a specific gravity, as measured according to ASTM D4894, of 2.20 or less. The content of the PTFE is 0.05 to 3.0 wt % based on the total weight of the melt-processable fluororesin and the PTFE. The present invention also provides a method for producing the tube which comprises melt-extruding the composition at a temperature lower than the melting point of the PTFE.

A system may include a container configured to receive at least one substance. A system may include a heating assembly configured to heat the at least one substance, the heating assembly comprising. A system may include a plurality of electrodes, a power source connected to the plurality of electrodes, wherein an electrical field between the plurality of electrodes is created by providing power to the plurality of electrodes; and one or more heat-dispersing bodies are dispersed in the at least one substance, the one or more heat-dispersing bodies comprising: a polymer material; and a carbonous material dispersed in the polymer material, the carbonous material configured to generate heat within the container responsive to the electrical field between the plurality of electrodes.

A repair solution for a wind turbine blade is described. The repair solution includes the application of a layer of viscous coating material to the section of the blade to be repaired, which is cured to form a repaired surface. The layer of viscous coating material may be temporarily covered during the curing process using a film of Low Surface Energy material, to prevent defects in the repaired surface from dust, insects, etc. Additionally or alternatively, a temporary shield may be erected adjacent the curing layer of coating material, to allow for the control of the temperature and/or humidity levels of the region adjacent the curing material, to provide for more effective control of the curing process and to allow for repairs to be carried out for a wider process window.

A system may include a container receiving at least one substance. A system may include a heating assembly heating the at least one substance. A system may include a plurality of electrodes; a power source connected to the plurality of electrodes, wherein an electrical field between the plurality of electrodes is created by providing power to the plurality of electrodes; and one or more heat-dispersing bodies dispersed in the at least one substance, the one or more heat-dispersing bodies including: a polymer material and a carbonous material dispersed in the polymer material, the carbonous material generating heat within the container responsive to the electrical field between the plurality of electrodes.
