Compounds useful for formulating inks, 3D printing resins, molding resins, coatings, sealants and adhesives which exhibit reduced shrinkage stress and high hardness and stiffness when cured are described which include a single free radical-polymerizable functional group, one or more urethane and/or ureido linkages and one or more cyclic structural elements per molecule.

A panel assembly includes a multilayer load bearing panel configured to enclose an opening to an interior compartment by positioning the panel in the opening. The panel has opposing first and second appearance layers and is reversible in the opening between first and second positions. In the first position, the first appearance layer is outwardly facing in the opening and the second appearance layer faces inwardly to the compartment. In the second position, the second appearance layer is outwardly facing in the opening and the first appearance layer faces inwardly to the compartment. One of the appearance layers is made of a protective polymeric coating such as a thermosetting polyurethane-based coating or thermoset polyurea coating. The other appearance layer is made of one of a laminate structure which can include a wood veneer, a textile, or a carpeting material. A method for making the multilayer panel is provided.

An identification card comprises a card body. A first protective film layer and the first base layer are made of transparent materials; at least a part of a surface of the first base layer is covered by a first graphic layer; a vision effect providing layer has at least one of patterns, colors, textures and gloss which can be visually distinguished. The card body is provided with a first recess portion extending at least through the first protective film layer and the first graphic layer from a surface of the card body and reaching or entering the first recess portion of the first base layer, and thus enabling at least a part of the vision effect providing layer to be seen from the first recess portion. The identification card can improve anti-counterfeiting and personalized customization.

A back panel for a vehicle seat is described. The back panel may have an upper layer, a lower layer supporting the upper layer, an adhesive layer arranged between the upper layer and the lower layer and fixing the upper layer to the lower layer, and a toe kick having a first end portion abutting a bottom of the upper layer. The lower layer and the adhesive layer extend beyond the bottom of the upper layer to the first end portion of the toe kick, and the first end portion of the toe kick is fixed to the lower layer by the adhesive layer.

Provided herein are multilayer damping laminates comprising at least one constraining layer and at least one discontinuous damping layer. At least one discontinuous damping layer comprises one or more damping material regions and one or more gap regions, wherein the percent coverage of at least one discontinuous damping layer by one or more damping material regions is less than 99%. Also provided are systems and methods using the multilayer damping laminates.

A seat trim cover for an automotive seat is formed into a 3-dimensional shape by compression molding a laminated moldable foam in a 3-dimensional. The laminated moldable foam comprises at least a layer of cellular polyurethane foam compression moldable in a temperature range of about 220° F. to about 260° F. The 3-dimensional mold is heated to a temperature range of about 150° F. to about 320° F. The layer of cellular foam is adhered to a cover material layer and pre-cut into a pre-laminated blank prior to molding into the 3-dimensional shape. Optionally, seat heaters or other components can be integrated with the laminated foam prior to compression molding the seat trim cover.

This invention provides a laptop bag, which includes a shockproof front panel, a shockproof rear panel and a shockproof connecting panel which connects the shockproof front panel and the shockproof rear panel. The shockproof front panel, the shockproof rear panel and the shockproof connecting panel are enclosed to form a placement space for placing a laptop. The shockproof connecting panel is provided with an opening means for putting a laptop in the placement space or taking out the laptop from the placement space. The shockproof front panel, the shockproof rear panel and the shockproof connecting panel each is provided with a first shockproof layer, a plurality of protrusions made of a shockproof material are provided on the first shockproof layer. The laptop bag can achieve the purpose of protecting lateral surfaces of the laptop.

The present disclosure is relates to a leather material and a manufacturing method thereof. The leather material includes a substrate, a TPU adhesive layer and at least one TPU surface layer. The substrate includes a first surface and a second surface. The TPU adhesive layer is disposed on the first surface of the substrate. The at least one TPU surface layer is disposed on the TPU adhesive layer. The at least one TPU surface layer includes an exposing surface having a texture of micro suede or micro nubuck. The leather material of the present invention utilizes the TPU material, and has a texture of micro suede or micro nubuck to have an appearance of leather. In addition, the leather material of the present invention has high peeling strength and high wear resistance to obtain the predetermined mechanical strength.

A vehicle interior component and method of making a vehicle interior component where a plurality of hollow stitch acceptance holes are formed in a component substrate to accommodate a stitch seam in a decorative covering that is attached to the component substrate. The stitch seam extends through the decorative covering to create filled stitch acceptance holes from the hollow stitch acceptance holes. The stitch seam can be created after an in-mold grain process in which the component substrate and decorative covering are laminated together.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing shoe material containing leather and cloth and a shoe material made therefrom. The method includes the steps of: a) material preparation; b) leather treatment; c) gluing; d) TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) placement; and e) hot pressing. This saves time compared to the sewing process. The shoe material includes a cloth, a leather, a first hot-melt adhesive layer selectively provided on said leather or said cloth, and a TPU film having a second hot-melt adhesive layer covered on the leather and the cloth with the second hot-melt adhesive layer in contact with the leather and the cloth. In this way, the problem of excessive adhesive is avoided.
