[Problems] Provided is a discoloring body which is discolored by application of water and has high glossiness and is excellent in applicability to various fields such as a toy field, a decoration field, and a design field.

[Solution] A discoloring body including a supporting body, a porous layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state by way of a binder resin, and a glossy resin layer, in which an occupancy area ratio of the glossy resin layer is 1% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

A vehicle component including a first cured layer of a molding composition having chopped glass fibers as a majority by volume of the fiber filler. A second cured layer of molding composition is provided that has carbon fibers as a majority by volume of the fiber filler. An adhesive applied is as liquid or paste joining the first cured layer and the second cured layer. The adhesive has a Modulus of between 600 and 800 MPa with an elongation of about 70% as determined by ASTM D638 and a CLTE between 50 and 90 μm/m-° C. in a temperature range of −30° C. to 0° C. and 255 μm/m-° C. in a temperature range of 100° C. to 130° C. as determined by ISO MAT-2208, and a thickness such that no bond-line read-through (BLRT) is observable in an outer surface of said first cured layer with an unaided, normal human eye.

A method for manufacturing at least one elastomeric article is provided. The method includes placing into a mold an assembly of an uncured elastomeric sheet, a first film fully covering the elastomeric sheet and a second film covering the first film, such that the second film is in contact with and positioned between the first film and an interior surface of the mold. The method further includes curing the assembly in the mold, such that the first film is laminated onto the elastomeric sheet thereby forming the at least one elastomeric article.

A film for laminating glass including: a first surface layer; a second surface layer disposed opposite to the first surface layer; and at least one sound insulating layer disposed between the first surface layer and the second surface layer, wherein the film for laminating glass has a L/F value reduction rate [G_L/F(A,B)] of 0.045/° C. or less at a temperature range of 20 to 35° C.
