Bi-axially orientated polypropylene film having a thickness of between 10 m and 120 m, suitable to make packing, flexible packages, laminated products and labels, where the film is obtained by means of flat die co-extrusion and sequential stretching respectively in the machine direction and in a direction transverse to the machine direction.

The composite structure includes a fiber-containing layer, such as a fiberboard layer or other layer having fibers from natural and/or synthetic sources, and a mineral-containing layer covering the fiber-containing layer. The fiber-containing layer and mineral-containing layer can be shaped, sized and manufactured such that the composite structure formed therefrom is capable of being machined to form a storage article. The composite structure has advantages in that it can improve whiteness, opacity, ink adhesion, materials reduction, barrier properties, recyclability, and printability. The composite can reduce polymer mass requirements for heat seal, barrier, and fiber adhesion. Further improvements include economics, pliability, and flexibility that is increased over the pliability of the fiber-containing layer alone.

The present disclosure relates to a decorative panel with a carrier plate comprising a multi-laminate plastic carrier material with a plurality N of layer sequences of the A-B-A type, wherein layer A comprises a first thermoplastic resin and layer B a second thermoplastic resin different from the thermoplastic resin of layer A and wherein N lies between 3 and 250.

This disclosure provides a flexible substrate, a production method of a flexible substrate, and a display apparatus. The flexible substrate comprises a flexible base and a flexible thin film, and the flexible thin film adheres to the flexible base. The flexible thin film is used to absorb and store heat when the temperature of the flexible base is higher than a first threshold temperature and to release heat when the temperature of the flexible base is lower than a second threshold temperature so as to adjust the temperature of the flexible base.

The polyester film is formed with a polyester resin whose main constituent component is ethylene terephthalate. The polyester film has two or more layers that include at least one fold holding layer, which is present on at least one of the film surfaces and has a total of at least one monomer component that can form an amorphous component of 12-30% by mol in all monomer components of the fold holding layer and a difference in amount of an amorphous component of 4-30% by mol obtained by deducting an amount of an amorphous component in a layer other than the fold holding layer from the amount of the amorphous component in the fold holding layer. The polyester film has a fold holding angle of 20-70 degrees and a heat shrinkage rate of 0-15% in the longitudinal and width directions when treated in 80 C. hot water for 10 seconds.

The present invention relates to filled polymeric materials including a thermoplastic polymer and a metallic filler and to light weight composite materials, which comprise a metallic layer and a polymeric layer, the polymeric layer containing the filled polymeric material. The filled polymeric material preferably is an extruded sheet. The composite materials of the present invention may be formed using conventional stamping equipment at ambient temperatures and/or welded to other metal materials using conventional welding techniques.

A conductive laminate and an electrochromic device including the conductive laminate are disclosed. The conductive laminate includes a metal oxynitride layer, a metal oxide layer, and a conductive layer. The metal oxynitride layer, the metal oxide layer or both may comprise monovalent cations. The metal oxynitride layer may be represented by Mo.sub.aTi.sub.bO.sub.xN.sub.y where a>0, b>0, x>0, y>0, 0.5<a/b<4.0, and 0.005<y/x<0.02. The metal oxide layer may comprise a reducing electrochromic material or an oxidizing electrochromic material. The electroconductive laminate and the electrochromic device have excellent durability, excellent color-switching speed, and can stepwise control optical properties.

The present disclosure is directed to peelable, heat-sealable lidding films for containers of diverse polymer compositions storing various products such as foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. The lidding films disclosed herein can be heat-sealed to crystalline polyester trays (CPET), easily peeled, and contain improved antifogging performance by incorporating a non-migratory antifogging additive into the heat sealable layer of the film without deteriorating seal strengths.

Cold sintering of materials includes using a process of combining at least one inorganic compound, e.g., ceramic, in particle form with a solvent that can partially solubilize the inorganic compound to form a mixture; and applying pressure and a low temperature to the mixture to evaporate the solvent and densify the at least one inorganic compound to form sintered materials.

A badge may include an amorphous metal shell having a visible surface and an opposed back surface, and a plastic base molded to the back surface. The badge may also include a polymer visible layer molded to a portion of the visible surface.
