A method to produce a wear resistant foil, including providing a first foil including a first thermoplastic material, applying wear resistant particles on the first foil, applying a second foil including a second thermoplastic material on the first foil, and adhering the first foil and the second foil to each other to form a wear resistant foil.

Composite ceramic materials are disclosed in which an interconnected network of ceramic material on a substrate contains pores with an accessible pore volume that is at least partially filled with a polymer, resin, and/or wax.

Surface modifications and coating materials are provided that may be applied to a substrate to reduce or eliminate damage that would accrue to do environmental effects or operational stress when incorporated into a device such as a heat exchanger. Structured ceramic surface modification materials may be incorporated into the surface modification and may optionally include a gradient in one or more physical or chemical property.

Assemblies of stacked layers of materials are described. The assemblies include functional and structural layers. Functional layers include binderless ceramic materials on woven or non-woven substrates of natural, synthetic, or metallic materials. The layers of functional and structural materials may be configured to transport moisture or heat from an inner surface to an outer surface that is exposed to an ambient environment.

The invention relates to a method for producing a bobbin comprising a plurality of wounds of a laminated sheet, the method comprising the steps of: •providing a continuous sheet of alkaloids containing material having a free surface; •providing a continuous sheet of a first protective material having a free surface; •adhering the free surface of the continuous sheet of the first protective material to the free surface of the continuous sheet of alkaloids containing material to form a continuous laminated sheet comprising at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and at least one layer of a first protective material, wherein said at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and said at least one layer of a first protective material define an adhesion surface between them; •feeding said laminated sheet to a rotatable center core; •rotating the center core so as to wind said continuous laminated sheet around it in such a way to form said bobbin comprising a plurality of wounds of a continuous laminated sheet comprising at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and at least one layer of a first protective material.

The present disclosure relates to a panel comprising a structured lacquer surface, having a base panel, a melamine resin layer, an adhesion promoter layer and a lacquer-containing top coat, the melamine resin layer being provided on a surface of the base layer, the adhesion promoter layer being provided on the melamine resin layer and the lacquer-containing top coat being provided on the adhesion promoter layer, the lacquer-containing top coat being structured. The disclosure also relates to a method for producing a panel of this type with a structured lacquer surface.

A display device includes a display module and a housing. At least one roller is disposed in the housing. The display module is configured to be wound on the at least one roller and to be inserted and drawn from the housing. The display module comprises a display panel, a window on the display panel and an adhesion layer between the display panel and the window. The adhesion layer comprises a first polymer layer having positive charges and a second polymer layer having negative charges. The second polymer layer is directly disposed on the first polymer layer.

A building panel, such as a floor panel, including a core including at least one or more of a thermoplastic material, a thermoset material, a mineral based material or a combination thereof. The building panel further including a first layer arrangement, arranged on one side of the core, having a surface layer and a thermally insulating layer, where the thermally insulating layer is arranged between the core and the surface layer.

A method to produce a wear resistant foil, including providing a first foil including a first thermoplastic material, applying wear resistant particles and a second thermoplastic material form on the first foil, and adhering the first foil to the second thermoplastic binder and the wear resistant particles to form a wear resistant foil.

The invention relates to a film for use in a resilient floor covering, wherein the film comprises (a) a first layer and (b) a second layer and wherein the first layer has a Shore D hardness of 60 to 80 at 20° C. and the second layer has a Shore D hardness of 40 to 65 at 20° C. Also provided is a composite laminate floor covering comprising the film of the invention. Also provided is a floor tile comprising the film of the invention.
