A hard coating includes two first crystalline phases, and a second crystalline phase containing AlN of a wurtzite-type crystal structure disposed therebetween. The two first crystalline phases each include, independently, a laminate structure having a Ti.sub.1-x1Al.sub.x1N phase having a sodium chloride-type crystal structure, and an Al.sub.x2Ti.sub.1-x2N phase having a sodium chloride-type crystal structure that are alternately stacked. An Al composition ratio x1 satisfies a relationship 0.5x10.75, and an Al composition ratio x2 satisfies a relationship 0.75<x20.95. The laminate structure includes a region in which an Al concentration periodically changes along a stacking direction of the Ti.sub.1-x1Al.sub.x1N phase and the Al.sub.x2Ti.sub.1-x2N phase. In this region, a difference between a maximum value of the Al composition ratio x2 and a minimum value of the Al composition ratio x1 is greater than 0.25.

A stacked composite material and a method of preparation, wherein the stacked composite materials comprises of glass fiber layers sandwiched between nanocomposite layers. The nanocomposite layers comprise a nanofiller dispersed in a cured epoxy matrix, wherein the nanofiller is at least one of silicon carbide nanoparticles or aluminum oxide nanoparticles. Adjacent and noncontiguous glass fiber layers are oriented in a unidirectional orientation or a quasi-isotropic orientation.

The present invention concerns a multi-layer film for cling film applications comprising at least three layers, with two outer layers, at least one core layer, preferably exactly one core layer, wherein at least one or both outer layer(s) comprise(s) between 73 wt. % and 99.5 wt. % or between 73 wt. % and <99.5 wt. % of LLDPE based on the total weight of the respective layer and between 0.5 wt. % and 7 wt. % of HDPE based on the total weight of the respective layer.

A first multilayer shrink film has an outer polyester layer, an inner O.sub.2-barrier layer, and a tie layer between the polyester layer and the barrier layer. A second multilayer film an outer polyester layer, an inner polyamide layer, and a tie layer between the polyester and polyamide layers. The tie layer comprises a styrene-based polymer, and the tie layer in the second film comprises an anhydride functional styrene based copolymer. Included are a packaging article comprising the film, a packaging process utilizing the film, a process for making the film, and a packaged product comprising a packaging article made the film, with a product inside the package.

A method of fabricating a refrigerator cabinet or door includes forming a wrapper and an inner liner. The method further includes forming a vacuum insulated core comprising a permeable core material that is disposed inside an impermeable envelope. A sheet of prefabricated compressible foam material is positioned between the vacuum insulated core between the inner door liner and/or the door wrapper. The prefabricated compressible foam material may be cut from a sheet of foam having substantially uniform thickness prior to fabrication of the refrigerator door. The foam compresses to accommodate differences in spacing between the vacuum insulated core and the door wrapper and/or the door liner.

A method for producing a composite multi-layered absorbent article. At least two of the layers include a colored region.

The invention relates to a rigid board plastic flooring comprising a wear layer, a decoration layer, a first connecting layer and a bottom layer which are connected in sequence, and also relates to the production method thereof. The bottom layer of the flooring is prepared using extrusion molding without adding plasticizer. The product is therefore more environmentally friendly. The edge of the click product is not easily damaged during storage and transportation as the bottom layer comprises a plastic hard board and the strength of the click profile is strong.

A container including a containment wall, defining an internal containment volume and including a free edge, a closing element including a welding layer welded onto the free edge of the wall and a front layer defining an outer surface of the container. An intermediate layer of removable self-adhesive is spread onto an adhesion portion of mutually coupled surfaces of the welding layer and front layer. An opening line adapted to define an access window is obtained through an incision in a stretch of thickness of the welding layer splitting the welding layer into a welding portion adapted to be welded to the container and an opening portion corresponding to the access window, with reference to an assembled configuration on the container. The incision is made to allow the detachment of the opening portion from the welding portion while the closing element is opened.

The disclosure provides a method for forming a core layer for at least one information carrying card, and resulting products. The method includes forming an inlay layout, and dispensing a crosslinkable polymer composition over the inlay layout and contacting the inlay layer so as to form the core layer of the information carrying card. The inlay layout includes at least one inlay layer coupled with a first thermoplastic layer. The first thermoplastic layer comprises a thermoplastic material, and defines at least one hole therein. The at least one inlay layer is disposed at least partially inside a respective hole.
