A fluid storage media includes a plurality of microspheres. Each microsphere includes a porous core with a porous core material and having an exterior surface. A stored fluid is within the porous core. A coating layer covers all of the exterior surface of the porous core. The coating layer includes a coating material which transitions from a first state to a second state, wherein in the first state the coating material is permeable to the stored fluid, and in the second state the material is impermeable to the stored fluid. The coating material in the second state is configured to encapsulate and maintain the stored fluid inside the porous core. A method of making a fluid storage media, a method of delivering a fluid and a method of delivering a biologically active fluid medication to a patient are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of a protective packaging system suitable for use with a prefinished building article. The protective packaging system generally is designed to reduce shrink back of the flexible substrate after tension is applied. The protective packaging system generally comprises at least one outer layer, at least one core layer and at least one adhesive layer. One or more layers of the protective packaging system may include a roughening agent such that the flexible substrate will not “gloss” or burnish a coating on a prefinished building article. The protective packaging system may also include one or more biocides.

The present invention relates to a visibility improving film for a display panel, and a display device including the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a visibility improving film for a display panel capable of having low reflection properties and exhibiting excellent optical and physical properties, particularly while enhancing the visibility of a laser pointer, by including fine metal particles dispersed in the photocurable resin layer, and a display device including the same.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a multi-layer substrate, said substrate comprising a multifunctional coating, and to the use of the substrate produced by this method.

A composite foam article is disclosed herein. The composite foam article comprises a polyurethane foam core presenting a first surface and a second surface facing opposite the first surface. A first skin is disposed on the first surface and a second skin is disposed on the second surface. The first and second skins comprise a plurality of fibers and a polymeric binder. The composite foam article also comprises at least one supplemental layer comprising an ethylene and acrylic acid copolymer dispersed in and/or disposed between any of said aforementioned skins and core.

The present disclosure provides a fuel pipe having a double tube with an inner tube and an outer tube disposed on the outside of the inner tube.

The invention provides a laminated film containing at least a base material layer, a covering layer, and an inorganic thin-film layer in this order, wherein (a) the base material layer comprises a resin composition that contains at least 70 mass % of polybutylene terephthalate resin; (b) the laminated film has a piercing strength of 0.6 N/μm or more as measured in accordance with JIS Z 1707 after having undergone a 95° C.-boiling treatment for 30 minutes; (c) the base material layer has a surface orientation degree of 0.144-0.160; and (d) when the value of oxygen transmission rate obtained by measuring the laminated film under a 23° C.×65% RH condition is defined as (A) and the value of oxygen transmission rate obtained by measuring same under a 40° C.×90% RH condition is defined as (B), the barrier value deterioration rate of the laminated film, as calculated as (B/A)×100, is 300% or less.

A composite panel structure of a polymer matrix core sandwiched by metal layers is described. The polymer matrix comprises 1-30 wt % fluoropolymer and 70-99 wt % of a flame retardant mineral. The fluoropolymer may be polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a high limiting oxygen index, which confers fire resistance properties to the polymer matrix and the composite panel structure. The composite panel structure may be used on the exterior of buildings and may fulfill building code requirements for the polymer matrix core being noncombustible as determined by ASTM E136 and CAN/ULC S114 compliance.

The invention relates to a metal-plastic plain-bearing composite material (2), in particular for producing plain bearing elements for lubricated applications, comprising a metal support layer (4), in particular of steel or bronze, and comprising a sliding layer (12) of a sliding material (8) of a matrix-forming PTFE polymer base with fillers that improve the tribological properties, said sliding layer being in sliding contact with a sliding partner, characterized in that the sliding material contains as fillers 1-15 vol % barium sulfate, 5-20 vol % aramid, 1-10 vol % polyimide and 1-15 vol % fluorothermoplastic, excluding PTFE,
as well as a plain-bearing composite material and a plain bearing element.

A membrane used in waterproofing and roofing applications, the membrane comprising a barrier layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer component and a contact layer bonded to at least portion of the barrier layer, the contact layer comprising a mixture of a solid filler component and a thermoplastic polymer component. The disclosure is also directed to a method for producing the membrane, a method for waterproofing a substrate, a waterproofed construction, a method for sealing a substrate against water penetration, and a sealed construction for sealing a substrate against water penetration.
