A process for in-line extrusion of polymeric coatings onto roofing shingles during manufacturing includes moving a web of shingle substrate material in a downstream direction and extruding a liquefied coating of polymeric material onto at least one surface of the moving web to form a thin film. The liquefied coating may be a molten polymeric material that forms a thin film on a back surface of the shingle material to prevent sticking and eliminate the need for a traditional back dusting with material such as powdered stone. The polymeric film further may be applied to the substrate material in lieu of a saturation coating of asphalt, thus reducing cost and weight while providing a comparable moisture barrier and a lighter more flexible shingle.

Provided are a thermosetting resin composition, and a prepreg, a laminate and a printed circuit board using same. The thermosetting resin composition comprises a resin component comprising a modified cycloolefin copolymer and other unsaturated resins. The modified cycloolefin copolymer is a reaction product of maleic anhydride and a cycloolefin copolymer; the cycloolefin copolymer is a copolymerization product of a monomer A and a monomer B; the monomer A is selected from one of or a combination of at least two of norbornene, cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, tricyclopentadiene, and (I); and the monomer B is selected from one of or a combination of at least two of C2-C3 olefins and C2-C3 alkynes. The laminate prepared by using the provided thermosetting resin composition has good dielectric properties, peel strength and thermal resistance, and can satisfy the current requirements of properties for printed circuit board substrates in the field of high-frequency and high-speed communications.

Multilayer fibreglass fabric with stitching comprises various stitching processes. These stitching processes not only create poor-surface finish but also it reduces the mechanical strength and increases cost of process and machinery. Therefore, present disclosure proposes a method for bonding of multilayer fiberglass fabric without stitching which comprises: pre-processing (601) wherein a raw material is selected and assembled according to requirement or final product. Processing (602) wherein processes like pressure rolling and needle punching are carried out. Post-processing (603) wherein the output in winded up, cut and packed in pre-determined sizes and dispatched. In present disclosure various combinations of input material are possible according to customer requirements.

A moldable composite sheet having improved thermal and mechanical property characteristics. In one aspect, the composite sheet may be a porous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin comprising discontinuous mineral reinforcing fibers, and one or more skin layer materials. Generally, the composite sheet may have a void content or porosity from about 5% to about 95% by volume of the sheet, an areal weight between about 400 g/m.sup.2 to about 4000 g/m.sup.2 (gsm), a mineral fiber content from about 20% to about 80% by weight, and a thermoplastic resin content from about 20% to about 80% by weight of the composite sheet. The composite sheet can be molded via low pressure processes, such as thermoforming, match metal molding on stops, vacuum forming and pressure forming, to produce durable automotive interior trim parts and construction articles having improved thermal and mechanical properties in addition to other beneficial characteristics.
