One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a length of energy-dissipative tubing; a first sealing device coupled to a first end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing; and a second sealing device coupled to a second end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing. Exposure to one or more selected from the group consisting of: fault currents or lightning strikes at an exposure point along the length of energy-dissipative tubing will produce arcs at the exposure point and at least one of the first end and the second end.

Described herein is a recyclable packaging having an exposed outermost surface, the recyclable packaging comprising: a wall comprising an inner surface opposite an outer surface, the wall having a multi-layer structure that includes a first layer comprising biaxially oriented polypropylene, a second layer comprising metallized cast polypropylene, a third layer comprising cast polypropylene; and a cavity at least partially surrounded by the wall.

The invention relates to a laminate (10; 10a) having a core (12) containing a thermoplastic polymer and having metal cover layers (16) disposed on either side of the core (12), each cover layer (16) being connected to the core (12) via an adhesive layer (14) having at least one polymer layer (15).

The present disclosure provides a resin composition containing a bio-polyethylene resin (A), an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (B), and an alkali metal salt (C), wherein the content of the alkali metal salt (C) is 10 ppm to 1500 ppm, in terms of metal, with respect to the weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (B). With this resin composition, gel formation and a reduction in transparency during molding are suppressed, and a molded product having an excellent appearance can thus be obtained.

A ceramic circuit board includes a ceramic base material, a metal layer (first metal layer), and a marker portion. The marker portion is formed on the surface of the first metal layer. The surface of the metal layer (first metal layer) may be plated. When the surface of the metal layer (first metal layer) is plated, the marker portion may be formed on the plating.

Described herein is a process for preparing a flexible packaging material. The process may comprise: providing a printed first flexible substrate comprising an ink composition on a surface of a first flexible substrate, the ink composition comprising a first thermoplastic resin; depositing a further composition comprising a cross-linker, a white pigment and a second thermoplastic resin onto the printed ink composition such that the thermoplastic resin of the ink composition is cross-linked; and laminating the first flexible substrate with a second flexible substrate such that the ink composition, the further composition and the cross-linker are disposed between the first and second flexible substrates.

A laminated construct such as a ticket or game piece includes an internal on-demand thermally printable layer hidden between substantially opaque substrates. One of the substrates is a metallized film and the other substrate is a direct thermal print medium. The construct can be arranged in various ways including an arrangement for presenting some thermally printed information for immediate viewing and other thermally printed information that is temporarily hidden from view beneath the metallized film. The arrangements include arranging the metallized film as a plurality of island that are individually peelable apart from the direct thermal print medium for revealing the temporarily hidden information.

A macro-molecular leakage-free self-adhering aluminum foil has two layers of aluminum foil compounded using a PET film, and the other surfaces of each layer coated with a modified PE adhesive layer respectively; or air gaps in one surface or two surfaces are filled with nano-aluminum to form a permeable air gap-free surface. The foil has advantages: 1, high folding resistance, fatigue resistance and strength 2, wrapping self-adhering performance is good, and stripping strength formed after adhesion is several times as high as that of the prior art; 3, air gaps in the surface of the aluminum foil filled with nano-aluminum powder result in improved compactness; manufacture from low-grade aluminum foil, and so that rolling precision requirements are lowered, and manufacturing cost reduced; 4, insulating strength is high, shielding effect is good, the return loss phenomenon is avoided, and tensile strength is good.

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 multilayer fabric for selectively blocking or transmitting particular wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, such solar radiation, and far infrared (FIR) radiation. The multilayer fabric may include a microporous water vapor permeable layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths depending on the size of its pores. In some embodiments, the multilayer fabric may include a nanostructured layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths.
