A method of producing a core for a composite panel along a continuous production line is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a thermoplastic sheet of material onto the production line and vacuum forming the thermoplastic sheet of material into alternating pairs of matching shapes, providing the thermoplastic sheet of material with alternating pairs of matching shapes onto upper and lower conveyor belts that are operating at lower speeds than the production line causing the pairs of matching shapes to bunch up and form a honeycomb structure, and cutting the honeycomb structure into discrete sections with spaces therebetween. A plurality of reinforced plastic bands with gaps therebetween are provided and the honeycomb structure is aligned with the gaps. The plurality of reinforced plastic bands and the honeycomb structure are secured together.

The construction and design of new multi-laminate sheet materials for the fabrication of shipping containers, boxes, furniture, consumer items, and many other products, including those generally using panels in their design, is disclosed. These new materials are produced by employing advanced folding techniques, to yield lightweight, cost effective multi-laminates. At least one layer in the multi-laminate structure is a folded sheet tessellation which, in some embodiments, can have doubly periodic folded geometries with fold creases in multiple non-parallel directions. The various layers of the construction can interlock with each other to collectively provide mechanical stiffness, strength, energy absorption and other properties.

A polymeric tape comprises a facestock extending lengthwise, the facestock including a polymer. An adhesive layer is on a first surface of the facestock. Tear-cuts are formed into at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock and extending inwardly, the tear-cuts being provided all along the at least one longitudinal edge of the facestock.

The invention relates to a method of making a paper product 10, 10.01 to 10.14, wherein the method includes the step of adding natural reinforcing material (31, 31.1, 51, 51.1, 61, 61.1, 71, 71.1) to one of: a) a layer of pulp as it exits or after it exits from a layer formation process or apparatus; or b) a tank 20, 20.1, 20.2 of pulp prior to it exiting from a layer formation process or apparatus; or c) a combination of a) and b). Additionally, the invention relates to paper products made by this process. The present invention also provides a multi-layered material 2.10, 2.10″, 2.10.1, 2.100 to 2.1600, and 100 to 1900, and a layer treatment of a layer or layers of a multilayered material, and a multilayered material which has had such a layer or layers treated by such a layer treatment.

Provided is a resin composition containing: a modified polyphenylene ether compound terminally modified with a substituent having an unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond; a cross-linking curing agent having an unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond in its molecule; a silane coupling agent having a phenylamino group in its molecule; and silica. A content of the silica is 60 to 250 parts by mass with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of the modified polyphenylene ether compound and the cross-linking curing agent.

An insulated panel assembly having improved insulative R-value. The insulated panel assembly comprises a cover panel, a first insulation layer, and at least one additional insulation layer, wherein the at least one additional insulation layer has a higher R-value than the first insulation layer. The first insulation layer is secured to the cover panel. The first insulation layer further forms at least one recessed portion. The at least one additional insulation layer is positioned in the at least one recessed portion of the first insulation layer. Examples of the at least one additional insulation layer may include vacuum insulated panels and modified atmosphere insulation panels.

Conformable sheet article made from paper and useful, for example, in packaging, tapes, and craft article, and methods of making and using such sheet articles are disclosed.

The invention provides a carbon-heated cigarette which comprises a carbon rod section, a tobacco section, a smoke extraction section and a filter section which are sequentially arranged from an upstream to a downstream. The carbon-heated cigarette can also comprise a composite paper and an outer wrapper wrapped around the outsides of the composite paper, the tobacco section, the smoke extraction section and the filter section. The composite paper is wrapped around a part of the carbon rod section and a part of or the entire tobacco section. The smoke extraction section has a cavity passing therethrough in an axial direction, and has a side wall having at least one side wall through-hole that communicates with the cavity. A wrapper through-hole is formed on the outer wrapper at a position corresponding to the side wall through-hole so as to allow the external air enter the smoke extraction section. The carbon-heated cigarette according to the present invention prevents air from passing through the tobacco section of the carbon-heated cigarette when the cigarette is being smoked, thereby the tobacco material can be maintained within a certain temperature range, and the composition and concentration of mainstream smoke are ensured.
