An absorbent cupholder liner and method of manufacturing thereof for protecting a cupholder from spills and wear and tear. In a first embodiment, the cupholder liner is formed from an absorbent body including an absorbent layer and a barrier layer. The absorbent body can include a set of pull tabs. In a second embodiment, the cupholder liner is formed from two absorbent bodies connected by a perforated bridge and feature an absorbent layer and a barrier layer that may be adhered to each other. The cupholder liner can include a set of pull tabs. Placing the absorbent cupholder liner into the beverage holder slots of the cupholder engages the barrier layer of the cupholder liner with the bottom and side walls of the slots. Pull tabs on either side allow for easy gripping and relocation of the cupholder liner.

Disclosed is a building and construction material and process including multiple layers and vermiculite ore in at least one layer. A substrate layer may have one or more layers on top or on the bottom of it. Numerous compounds may be used in one or more of the layers including asphaltic compound, polymer modified asphalt compound, thermoplastic polymer compound and others. The layers may also include synergistic flame retardant and fillers. And disclosed is a process to manufacture the building and construction material.

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce porosity-free castable resins and vulcanize rubber formulations based on epoxidized natural rubber. Materials made from disclosed materials may be advantageously used as leather substitutes.

This is to provide a multilayer tube excellent in interlayer adhesiveness and durability thereof while maintaining various characteristics such as low temperature impact resistance, bursting pressure strength and flexibility. In a multilayer tube having at least two kinds of layers and the both layers are adjacent to each other, an aliphatic polyamide composition constituting one of the layers contains an aliphatic polyamide having a ratio of a number of methylene groups to a number of amide groups of a specific value or more and a copolymerized polyamide having a specific unit, and an elastomeric polymer which may contain a constitutional unit derived from an unsaturated compound having a carboxyl group(s) and/or an acid anhydride group(s).

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce at least one of six different materials, wherein each type of material may be configured as a thermosetting elastomer that is crosslinked with ß-hydroxyester linkages. The materials may be configured as a leather-like material, a foam material, a molded elastomer, a coating, an adhesive, and/or a rigid or semi-rigid material. Illustrative articles made from any combination of the six materials may be recycled using a mechano-chemical process to de-crosslink the thermosetting elastomer.

A composite material steel sheet comprises: at least one steel sheet, and a resin-impregnated paper composite layer, wherein the resin-impregnated paper composite layer may comprise stacked sheets of paper, and impregnated resin provide adhesion between the sheets of paper in contact with each other.
