The present invention relates to a process for converting the waste or used metalized polyester (PET) film into recycled PET (RPET) as a starting raw material for various utility products. Particularly, the present invention provides a process for the manufacturing of high quality strapping or monofilament yarn or sheets from the recycled metalized PET film.

Compositions of matter capable of being cast and cured to form a microreplicated pattern on a substrate, and further capable of swelling on exposure to water so as to release from that substrate. Water swellable acrylic polymers formed from these compositions, and methods of using same in nanoimprint lithography are also disclosed.

A method for making a conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet includes the steps of joining a nanomaterial composite sheet, a fiber-reinforcing sheet and a resin system to form a combined sheet, heating the combined sheet, compacting the combined sheet, and cooling the combined sheet to form conductive pre-impregnated composite sheet including the fiber-reinforcing sheet, and the nanomaterial composite sheet coupled to the fiber-reinforcing sheet, wherein the fiber-reinforcing sheet and the nanomaterial composite sheet are embedded in the resin system.

A multilayer composite is disclosed comprising a heat shrinkable polymer layer and a nanofiber layer. Methods of forming the composite and uses thereof are also described.

A selectively chrome plated radome and its method of manufacture include molding a non-plateable resin to form one or more inner pieces, each inner piece defining an outer edge, inserting the one or more inner pieces into a final mold, injecting a plateable resin into the final mold to form an outer piece arranged about and coupled to the outer edge of each inner piece, wherein the one or more inner pieces and the outer piece collectively form a radome component, removing the radome component from the final mold, and chrome plating the outer piece of the radome component to obtain the selectively chrome plated radome. A selectively chrome plated radiator grille and its method of manufacture include molding a plateable resin portion of the grille, the plateable resin portion defining the outer piece of the radome component, and then chrome plating an exposed surface of the plateable resin portion.

A co-injection molding apparatus may mold an injection product that includes a skin layer forming an outer surface by a first material and a core layer surrounded by the skin layer and having an interior formed by a second material. The co-injection molding apparatus may include an injection mold configured to form an injection space to be injection molded by the first material and the second material, a first injector configured to inject the first material, a second injector configured to inject the second material different from the first material and positioned between the first injector and the injection mold, and a runner configured to connect the first injector, the second injector, and the injection mold.

The present invention achieves cost reduction by simplifying the manufacturing process for a film-formed molded product provided with a metal coating film capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves therethrough. This method for manufacturing a film-formed molded product which includes a molded product and a metal coating film covering the molded product comprises: forming the molded product between a movable mold and a fixed mold; and then forming the metal coating film which covers the molded product by a film-forming part of a second mold without taking the molded product out from between the movable mold and the fixed mold. The metal coating film is capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves therethrough as a result of generation of cracks after being formed.

Method and device for delamination/dismantling of multi-layer systems SM comprising several layers including at least one organic layer, wherein the layers are separated by interfaces, characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps: Mixing the multilayer system with a fluid composed of at least one gas having the particularity of causing the swelling of at least one of the layers and one or more non-reactive liquids having the particularity of allowing the separation of each layer unitarily or of subsets of layers composing the multilayer system without degradation of the constituents of the layers, the gas/liquid fluid being raised in temperature and pressure, Recovering separately at least one or more layers or a subset of undegraded layers.

A method of making a work piece without the use of an auxiliary anode and a work piece created using the method are provided. The work piece includes a main face being generally planar. The work piece also includes a first area comprising a plateable resin configured to be plated using the plating process without the auxiliary anode and having a first current density during the plating process. Additionally, the work piece includes a second area comprising a non-plateable resin configured to not be plated using the plating process without the auxiliary anode. The first area and the second area are determined by a process referencing a predetermined minimum current density value with the first current density being greater than the predetermined minimum current density value.
