Materials and methods for mitigating passive intermodulation. A membrane for reducing passive intermodulation includes a first polymeric layer, a second polymeric layer, and a continuous metal layer encapsulated between the first and second polymeric layers. A self-adhesive radio frequency barrier tape includes a waterproof polymeric top layer, a metal-containing layer adhered by an adhesive layer to the polymeric top layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the metal-containing layer, and a release liner on a bottom surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A method of mitigating passive intermodulation includes passing a probe over an area of interest, the probe being sensitive to an intermodulation frequency of interest, and identifying a suspected source of passive intermodulation when the amplitude of the probe output exceeds a threshold at the frequency of interest. The method further includes covering the suspected passive intermodulation source with a radio frequency barrier material.

A surface covering is provided and includes an upper section of laminated polymeric layers and an acoustical section for dissipating sound waves.

A fabrication method of a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)-based thermally-conductive composite film includes the following steps: S1. attaching an adhesive layer to an h-BN film carried on a carrier film, and separating the h-BN film from the carrier film to obtain a film in which an adhesive layer side is defined as a side A and an h-BN film side is defined as a side B; S2. attaching an adhesive layer to the side B of the film obtained in S1; S3. pasting a high-power graphite film to the side B of a film obtained in S2; S4. attaching an adhesive layer to the side B of a film obtained in S3; and S5. shaping a film obtained in S4 according to a required size. The present fabrication method is conducive to improving the production efficiency or yield rate of a thermally-conductive film product and the product quality.

The present disclosure provides a layered assembly. The assembly has a support layer that has a textured surface. A decorative layer is applied to the textured surface. The layered assembly can therefore exhibit many different visual appearances depending on the texturing that is created on the support layer and imparted to the decorative layer. The present disclosure also provides methods of making the layered assembly, and appliances that use the layered assembly.

The pressing of an article is achieved with a closed-loop feedback press. The closed-loop feedback press is effective to measure an amount of pressure applied and adjust the pressure to achieve a prescribed amount of compression on the article. Further, the press may leverage a closed-loop feedback system to maintain a consistent temperature of one or more platens. The press is able to adjust a pressure applied one or more times during a pressing operation to accelerate a temperature change in the pressed article while reducing the pressure applied as the temperature approaches a target temperature to limit unintentional deformation and bleeding of the pressed material of the article.
