The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a particle foam part. The device comprises a molding tool (3) which delimits a molding chamber (14), wherein at least two capacitor plates (15, 16) are arranged adjacently to the molding chamber, said plates be connected to an RF radiation source. The RF radiation source is designed to dispense RF radiation, and the molding tool (3) has means for controlling the temperature of the molding tool in the region of an inner delimiting surface (19) delimiting the molding chamber (14) and/or for supplying a heating medium to the molding tool region lying against the inner delimiting surface.

A glass-polymer laminate structure includes a flexible glass substrate having a thickness of no more than about 0.3 mm. A polymer layer is laminated to a surface of the flexible glass substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is at least about 2 times a CTE of the flexible glass substrate. The polymer layer is laminated to the surface of the flexible glass substrate after thermally expanding the polymer layer to provide the flexible glass substrate with an in-plane compressive stress of at least about 30 MPa along a thickness of the flexible glass substrate.

A polymethacrylate composition, an optical device made therefrom, and a display apparatus are provided. The polymethacrylate composition includes 50 to 85 parts by weight of methacrylate series polymer, 15 to 50 parts by weight of styrene series-maleic anhydride series copolymer, and an aromatic compound having a phosphite group. The methacrylate series polymer includes methacrylate series monomer unit and acrylate series monomer unit and has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) in a range between 20,000 and 200,000. The styrene series-maleic anhydride series copolymer includes 65 wt %-85 wt % of styrene series monomer unit, 15 wt %-35 wt % of maleic anhydride series monomer unit, and 0-20 wt % of second copolymerizable monomer unit. The content of the aromatic compound having a phosphite group in the polymethacrylate composition is 200 ppm-900 ppm.

The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to at least a part of a surface of a coating (B2), using a composite (F1B1) composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), where the coating (B2) and the coating (B1) of the composite (F1B1) have embossed structures which are mirror images of one another. Also described herein is a composite (B2B1F1). Further described herein is a use of this composite for producing an at least partially embossed coating (B2) in the form of a free film or a composite (B2KF2) composed of a substrate (F2), at least one adhesive (K), and the coating (B2).

A method of forming a balloon for a medical device is provided including extruding a cylindrical tube of silicone material, partially curing the cylindrical tube, inflating the cylindrical tube, and fully curing the balloon. The cylindrical tube is partially cured by exposing the cylindrical tube to a first ultraviolet light source. The cylindrical tube is inflated within a mold to form the balloon. The balloon is fully cured by exposing the balloon to a second ultraviolet light source.

A surfacing material includes a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an electron beam radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic laid upon the substrate. The epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is irradiated with UV-radiation to produce a UV-radiation layer wherein the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is neither hardened nor is an entire layer of the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic crosslinked but rather the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

A functional polymeric cutting edge structure and methods for manufacturing cutting edge structures using polymeric materials are provided. A razor blade for use in a razor cartridge or a blade box for assembly in a razor cartridge frame may be formed using the present invention.

The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to a surface of a coating composition (B2a), which includes the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) and also the steps (3) and optionally (4), where the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) are performed using a composite (F1B1) which is employed as an embossing die (p2) of an embossing tool (P2) and which is composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), and the coating composition (B1a) used for producing (B1) of the composite (F1B1) is a radiation-curable coating composition of defined constitution.
