A reusable, fiber containing pulp product is described that is highly suited for use in the manufacture of paper products. The reusable, fiber containing pulp product provides a mixture of fibers and small, dense polymer/particle fragments. The polymer/particle fragments within the reusable, fiber containing pulp product have a size range and density that facilitates efficient removal of the polymer/particle fragments using pressure screens.

Unexpectedly unique and environmentally friendly composite material structures, storage articles fabricated therefrom, and related methods. The composite structure includes at least one or more fiber-containing layers, such as fiberboard or other layers having fibers from natural and/or synthetic sources, and one or more mineral-containing layers. The mineral-containing layer(s) comprises a thermoplastic bonding agent fixing the mineral particles in place. The fiber-containing layer(s) and mineral-containing layer(s) can be shaped, sized, and manufactured such that the composite structure formed therefrom is capable of being machined to form the storage article. The composite structure can be repulped and recycled without the use of dispersions, emulsions, or aqueous solutions. Further, the composite reduces layer mass requirements for heat seal, barrier, and fiber adhesion compared to polymer layers. The composite structure further has tensile strength and other structural characteristics that allow it to be readily machined into desired storage article forms.

Example systems may include one or both of a light emitter and a light receiver, and an optical filter.

The optical filter may include a wavelength selective reflecting layer having a predetermined transmission band configured to compensate for a color deviation. The optical filter may include a broadband reflecting layer having a predetermined reflection band configured to compensate for a color deviation. The optical filter may include a low-index layer configured to reduce a color deviation in light emitted by the light emitter or received by the light receiver. The wavelength selective scattering layer may include nanoparticles dispersed in a binder, wherein the ratio of the nanoparticles to the binder by weight is at least 50%. Example articles may include example optical filters.

The present invention provides a quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film and a method for manufacturing same, relating to the field of optical thin films. The quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film includes a quantum dot film layer formed by a back coating layer, a substrate layer, a first barrier layer, a quantum dot layer, and a second barrier layer which are sequentially attached, a composite brightness enhancement film layer formed by a diffusion layer, a core layer, and a prism layer which are sequentially attached, and an Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA) layer connecting the second barrier layer and the diffusion layer. The quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film of the present invention is configured to be of the multi-layer film structure; the total thickness of the quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film is reduced by omitting one substrate layer, thereby facilitating light-weighting when the quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film is applied to a backlight module; moreover, multiple coating operations on the quantum dot layer are avoided, thereby reducing process defects, and effectively improving the performance of the quantum dot composite brightness enhancement film.

A multi-layer body armor plate includes a strike plate; a mesh layer positioned over the strike plate, the mesh layer having a number of open cells; and an outer skin layer positioned over the mesh layer so as to encapsulate the open cells of the mesh layer between the strike plate and the outer skin layer. The open cells of the mesh layer may entrap air or may be filled with expandable, buoyant foam.

A sheet for heat bonding, having a pre-sintering layer that becomes a sintered layer by being heated, and a component migration prevention layer.

The particle board consists of a middle layer (1) made from bamboo strands (2) and two adjoining fine layers (3, 4) made from glued bamboo shavings or chips, as well as cover layers on both sides (5, 6).

A container for cosmetic products and a method of manufacturing the same. The container, such as a jar, has a wall formed by a first layer of a compostable material which comprises in combination a biodegradable polymer which forms a continuous matrix and, mixed therein, particles of a hydrophilic material capable of swelling inside the matrix upon water absorption. The container further comprises a second layer of a compostable material which comprises a biodegradable polymer which forms a continuous matrix and which is essentially free from particles of a hydrophilic material capable of swelling inside the matrix, or contains essentially less of them than the first layer. The container is degradable in compost, disintegration of the container wall, at 58° C., occurring within 12 weeks.
