A method of manufacturing a load structure may include first forming a panel having a first side and a second side. The method may then include trimming the panel, including clearing a fill passage through the panel from the first side to the second side. The method may then include applying an over rim coating on the second side of the panel via an over rim tool by which a resin may be injected through the fill passage to the second side. The method may further include performing final trimming of the panel, and finally performing final assembly to form the load structure.

A method includes pressing a stack including a glass sheet and an uncured non glass mat at a pressing pressure and a pressing temperature, whereby the uncured nonglass mat is cured and bonded to the glass sheet to form a glass laminate including the glass sheet bonded to a non glass substrate. Another method includes pressing a stack including a glass sheet and a plurality of uncured polymer impregnated papers at a pressing pressure and a pressing temperature, whereby the plurality of uncured polymer impregnated papers is cured to form a non glass substrate and bonded to the glass sheet to form a glass laminate.

Provided is a glass resin laminate (1) obtained laminating glass sheets (5, 6) on both surfaces of a resin, plate (2) through intermediation of adhesive layers (3, 4) to integrate the plate and the sheets, in which an intermediate sheet (7) is interposed in the adhesive layer (3) on one surface side of the resin plate (2). In addition, on the side where the intermediate sheet (7) is interposed, the glass sheet (5) has a thickness of: from 0.01 mm to 1 mm, and the thickness of the adhesive layer (3) excluding the intermediate sheet (7) is smaller than the thickness of the resin plate (2). In addition, the intermediate sheet (7) has a tensile modulus larger than the tensile modulus of the adhesive layer (3).

A glass laminate includes a non-glass substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A glass sheet is laminated to the first surface of the non-glass substrate. A barrier film is laminated to the second surface of the non-glass substrate and includes a first surface adjacent to the non-glass substrate, a second surface opposite the first surface. A thickness of the barrier film can be at most about 0.5 mm. The second surface of the barrier film can define an outer surface of the glass laminate. The barrier film can be a multi-layer barrier film with a metal layer and a polymer layer. An absolute value of a flatness of the glass laminate determined according to European Standard EN 438 after exposure to 23 C. and 90% relative humidity for 7 days can be at most about 3 mm/m.

A roll (10) of glass ribbon (20) and an interleaf material (40) disposed in alternating layers, wherein a layer of the interleaf material is pinned to an adjacent layer of the glass ribbon by an electrostatic force that is of a value so that a shear force required to cause slip between the interleaf material and the glass ribbon is greater than or equal to 10 times that required to cause slip between them when not electrostatically pinned together. Methods for winding and unwinding the roll, as well as an apparatus for winding the glass ribbon and interleaf material into a roll, are also disclosed.

A laminated glass structure is provided that includes a non-glass substrate, a flexible glass sheet, and an adhesive. The non-glass substrate includes one or more layers of polymer-impregnated paper, an upper primary surface and a lower primary surface. The non-glass substrate also comprises an upper moisture barrier at a selected depth from the upper primary surface. The flexible glass sheet has a thickness of no greater than 0.3 mm and is laminated to the upper primary surface of the non-glass substrate with the adhesive. An optional lower moisture barrier can also be included within the non-glass substrate at a selected depth from the lower primary surface. Further, the non-glass substrate may be preconditioned at 70 C for 96 hours or more prior to lamination of the flexible glass sheet to the upper primary surface of the non-glass substrate.

A glass-mounted image, proof against the effects of oxidation, which can be viewed with different effects from the front or from the rear includes a transparent base and a pattern layer. The transparent base includes a front surface and a rear surface and the pattern layer is formed on the rear surface. The pattern layer is formed by inkjet printing UV-curable ink and curing the ink and the pattern layer is a fogged surface in contrast with the opposing smooth and polished appearance seen through the glass from the other side.

An engineered plank material and a method for making the plank material are disclosed. The plank material includes a veneer that is made out of plant material, and includes a nonwoven fabric or fiberglass mesh adhered to an inward-facing portion of the veneer. The plank material includes an adhesive paper material including macromolecular glue, which is between the veneer and a third layer of the plank material, which is constructed from one of bamboo, wood, or paper. The plank material then includes a fourth layer which is an adhesive paper material including a micromolecular glue. These layers are compressed together at a high heat and a high pressure in order to form the plank material.

A glass roll includes at least one glass film and one intermediate material one on top of the other in at least two layers onto a winding core. The glass film layers are held in place by the intermediate material layers. The glass roll is produced with a method including provision of a glass film, a winding core and a compressible intermediate material. At least one inside layer of the intermediate material is wound onto the winding core. The glass film and the intermediate material are wound onto the winding core in such a manner that the glass film is wound onto the winding core in alternating layers with the intermediate material. The intermediate material and/or the glass film is wound at a tensile stress acting in a longitudinal direction which causes a compression of the intermediate material and holds the glass film end in place on the glass roll.
