In the self-adhesive sheet, it is preferable that at least one or more temperatures showing a local maximum value of a loss tangent (tan δ) , which is obtained by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement under conditions of a temperature rising rate of 4° C./min, a frequency of 1.59 Hz, and a strain amount of 0.1%, are present in a range of 10° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, the local maximum value of the loss tangent is 0.5 or more and 3.5 or less, an arithmetic average roughness Ra on one surface of the self-adhesive sheet is in a range of 0.01 to 10 .Math.m, and a ten-point average roughness Rz is in a range of 0.1 to 50 .Math.m.

[PROBLEM] To provide a packaging and a display material which permit printing in distinct fashion by a laser, and which are of high transparency. [SOLUTION MEANS] A display material having at least one layer permitting printing as a result of laser irradiation, the display material being such that the printing occurs due to change in color caused by the laser irradiation in at least one region of said layer; when a digital microscope is used to carry out cross-sectional observation of said printed region and a nonprinted region, a significant difference in at least any one of RGB values indicating color elements is observed; and thickness of said printed region is not less than 5μm but not greater than 200 μm.

A glass sheet composite includes: two or more sheets; and an intermediate layer between at least a pair of the sheets. At least one of the pair of sheets is a glass sheet. The intermediate layer satisfies all of the following properties: (1) the intermediate layer has a thickness of 20 μm or less, (2) a compressive shear storage modulus at a temperature of 25° C. is 1.0×10.sup.4 Pa or less, and (3) at the temperature of 25° C. and 1 Hz, the compressive shear storage modulus is higher than a compressive shear loss modulus. The glass sheet composite has a loss coefficient at 25° C. of 0.01 or more, and a sheet-thickness-direction longitudinal wave acoustic velocity of 4.0×10.sup.3 m/s or more,

A non-wicking underlayment board and methods for forming the same. The non-wicking underlayment board includes a foam core formed of closed cell foam with reinforcement layers encapsulated within the foam core. Outer facings formed of mineral coated nonwoven fibers are positioned on opposite faces of the non-wicking underlayment panel. The non-wicking underlayment board is useful for efficient and cost effective installation of barriers and surfaces in water-resistant and waterproof environments.
