A biaxially-oriented polyethylene (BOPE) multilayer film comprises a skin layer with a matte surface and a core, the skin layer with a matte surface comprising, in weight percent (wt %) based upon the weight of the skin layer: (1) from 20 to 80 wt % of an ethylene-based polymer, and (2) from 80 to 20 wt % of a propylene-based polymer; each of the ethylene-based polymer and the propylene-based polymer having a storage modulus, with a difference between the storage modulus of the ethylene-based polymer and the propylene-based polymer of greater than 40 megaPascals (MPa) at 110° C., and greater than 18 MPa at 120° C.

A laminate from which containers with improved transparency, high low-temperature impact strength and rigidity can be made. The laminate includes a resin layer [I] containing 60.0% by mass or more and 85.0% by mass or less of a propylene-based polymer (A) and 15.0% by mass or more and 40.0% by mass or less of an ethylene-based polymer (B), and a resin layer [II] containing 80.0% by mass or more and 99.9% by mass or less of a propylene-based polymer (A), 0.0% by mass or more and less than 15.0% by mass of an ethylene-based polymer (B), and 0.1% by mass or more and 20.0% by mass or less of a nucleating agent (C). The propylene-based polymer (A) and the ethylene-based polymer (B) satisfy specific requirements in both of the resin compositions [I] and [II].

This relates to a composite structural element, in particular a rib or a spar, specifically for use in a torsion box of an aircraft structure such as a vertical tailplane, wherein the structural element defines a coordinate system with a first axis “a” wherein the structural element comprises a substantially planar main section defining a coordinate system with a first axis “a” extending along the longitudinal axis “L” of the structural element and a second axis “b” extending perpendicular to said longitudinal axis “L” within the planar main section and defining an angle of +90° with the first axis “a”, wherein the structural element contains a lay-up of single plies consisting of a fiber-reinforced composite material with a substantially unidirectional fiber orientation.

This invention is related to a winding resistant cardboard, which mainly has at least one support unit and at least one carrying unit. The support unit has a cross section in a rectangular shape lacking one side to form an opening laterally disposed to face the at least one carrying unit. The carrying unit is formed by a plurality of corrugated boards disposed vertically and bound abreast. The support unit is formed by a plurality of stacked cardboards bound and pressed together to provide winding resistant function like beams and columns. The good pressure bearing strength of the support unit formed by a plurality of corrugated boards disposed vertically and attached abreast also help the winding resistant cardboard not to be bent and deformed under a heavy weight. Accordingly, the safety of the winding resistant cardboard as a building material or a packaging material can be elevated.

A crane mat having first and second side beams or boards; a core structure made of pine or other softwoods, eucalyptus, solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that optionally include a filler or internal reinforcing structure; external components including an upper and/or lower layers of one or more elongated members to protect the core structure, and a plurality of joining members that attach the outer side members to the core structure. Another crane mat can be made of just the solid plastic or elastomeric members, or hollow thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or elastomeric members that each include a plurality of spaced lateral apertures passing therethrough; and joining members that include a rod that passes through the aligned lateral apertures to hold the members together in the mat. These crane mats may also include lifting elements of the types described herein.

A structural member of a vehicle includes a metal body, a first resin layer and a second resin layer. The metal body is made of metal. The first resin layer is provided on the metal body in a layering direction and includes a first thermoplastic resin. The second resin layer is provided on the first resin layer in the layering direction and includes a second thermoplastic resin and carbon fiber.

Embodiments of multilayer films are disclosed comprising a first layer comprising polyethylene, a second layer comprising a first medium density polyethylene; a barrier layer; a third layer comprising a second medium density polyethylene; and a fourth layer comprising polyethylene. The second layer may be positioned between the first layer and the barrier layer. The barrier layer may be positioned between the second layer and the third layer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a laminate of an olefin-type rubber, which is non-polar or has a small polarity and which is difficult to bond with a different material, and a rubber including Group 16 elements and/or Group 17 elements, which is a different kind of rubber. The laminate according to the present invention includes a structure including, in order, an olefin-type rubber layer (A); an adhesive resin layer (B) containing at least one selected from the group consisting of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, a silane-modified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer and an ionomer thereof, and an ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer and an ionomer thereof; and a rubber layer (C) containing Group 16 elements and/or Group 17 elements.

A composite hat stringer for stiffening a panel includes a plurality of composite fabric plies arranged to form a cap, a pair of flanges and a pair of webs respectively connecting the cap with the pair of flanges. The cap includes at least one 0° composite tape ply interleafed in the composite fabric plies within the cap.
