There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the flexural rigidity of laminated glass can be enhanced and the sound insulating properties of laminated glass can be enhanced. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin, and has a smallest value of the shear storage elastic modulus in a temperature region of 10° C. or more and 40° C. or less measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz of 3 MPa or more, a ratio of a shear storage elastic modulus at 20° C. measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz to a shear storage elastic modulus at −30° C. measured at a frequency of 0.5 Hz of 0.01 or more and 0.8 or less, a glass transition temperature falling within the range of −20° C. or more and 0° C. or less, and a largest value of tan δ in a temperature region of −20° C. or more and 0° C. or less of 0.1 or more.

A blood storage container for the anaerobic storage of blood, having enhanced sealing methods and materials for the preservation of stored blood is provided.

A thermal insulation device includes a first plate, a second plate formed to nest adjacent the first plate with a gap between the first and second plates, a porous material disposed between the plates, and a sealing layer disposed between the first and second plates such that the porous material is sealed from ambient at a pressure less than ambient. Multiple such sets of plates may be used to form an enclosure for a device that thermally insulates the device from ambient.

A seamless tubular liner for repairing an underground or surface pipe is disclosed, including circumferential wefts consisting of slivers comprising a plurality of staple fibers bundled together, the slivers adapted to elongate through disentanglement of the bundled staple fibers when the seamless tubular liner is subjected to an inflation pressure such that the diameter of the tubular liner is able to expand to accommodate variations of diameter of the pipe being repaired.

A security device includes an array of lenses and a plurality of first and second segments disposed under the array of lenses. At a first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents a first image for viewing without presenting the second image for viewing, and at a second viewing angle different from the first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents for viewing the second image without presenting the first image for viewing. At least one first or second segment can include one or more microstructures or one or more nanostructures configured to produce one or more colors for the first or second image.

A packaging sheet is described. The sheet comprises a first rigid component, a second rigid component, and a multilayer film. Each of the first rigid component and the second rigid component comprises styrenic polymer, aromatic polyester, aliphatic polyester, polypropylene homopolymer, or blends thereof. The multilayer film is a blown, coextruded film positioned between the first rigid component and the second rigid component and comprises (a) an outer layer, (b) a barrier component, and (c) an inner layer, where the barrier component is positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. The first rigid component is coated on or laminated to a first surface of the multilayer film and the second rigid component is coated on or laminated to an opposing second surface of the multilayer film such that the sheet is not a fully coextruded sheet. Various embodiments of the sheet are also described.
