The present disclosure provides a multilayer structure including a first polyolefin layer comprising a first polyolefin resin, a gas barrier layer comprising ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, and a second polyolefin layer comprising a second polyolefin resin. The present disclosure further provides a package made of the multilayer structure and also methods of use thereof.

A multilayer membrane comprising at least two co-extruded layers where the two co-extruded layer contain different polymers and one of the two co-extruded layers contains an extrusion additive. Examples of useful extrusion additives may include a nucleating agent or a pore-forming particulate. A method for making the membrane is also disclosed. Using an extrusion additive when co-extruding two different polymers avoids some of the drawbacks associated with processes involving the co-extrusion of different polymers, particularly processes where a co-extruded non-porous precursor is later stretched to form pores. For example, the drawback of lower permeability, difficulty to make lower Gurley, and splittiness may be improved.

A laminated composite article having a core component and laminate sheet. The laminate sheet is disposed and overlying at least a portion of the core component. The laminate sheet includes a wear layer and an ink layer. The laminate sheet includes UV absorbers. The UV absorbers are arranged and disposed to provide ink stability to the ink layer. Methods for forming the laminated composite article are also disclosed.

A memory device may include one or more memory banks that store data and one or more input buffers. The input buffers may receive command address signals to access the one or more memory banks. The memory device may operate in one of a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation. The one or more input buffers may operate under a first bias current when the memory device is in the first mode of operation or a second bias current when the memory device is in the second mode of operation, and the first bias current may be greater than the second bias current.

The polyester film according to the embodiment can maintain its original characteristics even after a plurality of repeated folding by adjusting the deformed dimension as compared with the initial dimension of the film, in particular, by adjusting the ratio between the deformed dimensions in two in-plane directions perpendicular to each other to a specific range, in the cycle of straining and relaxing the film. Accordingly, the polyester film can be applied to a cover of a flexible display device, in particular, a foldable display device to exhibit excellent characteristics.

An exterior material for power storage devices which is formed from at least a layered body comprising a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-fusible resin layer in this order, wherein the base material layer contains a resin film, the resin film has a shrinkage ratio of 1.0% to less than 5.0% when immersed in hot water at 95° C. for 30 minutes, and the resin film has a stress value, at 10% stretching in the tensile test described hereafter, of 100 MPa or higher in both the machine direction and the transverse direction. After storing a sample in a 23° C., 40% RH environment for 24 hours, the tensile test is performed under conditions of a sample width of 6 mm, a gauge length of 35 mm, and a tension rate of 300 mm/min in a 23° C., 40% RH environment, and the stress value at 10% stretching (displacement of 3.5 mm) is measured.

A power storage device packaging material includes a laminate including at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer in this order, wherein the base material layer contains a polyester film, and the polyester film has a work hardening exponent of 1.6 or more and 3.0 or less in both longitudinal and width directions, with a difference of 0.5 or less between the work hardening exponents in the longitudinal and width directions, an intrinsic viscosity of 0.66 or more and 0.95 or less, and a rigid amorphous fraction of 28% or more and 60% or less.

A paint substitute film comprises a base film, a colored layer, and a hard coat layer, wherein the base film, the colored layer, and the hard coat layer are laminated in this order. The base film contains thermoplastic resin and concealing material. Refractive index of the concealing material is not less than 1.70. Scattering coefficient from wavelength 400 nm to 700 nm of the base film is not less than 0.20 μm.sup.−1. Contrast ratio of the base film when at 20% elongation is not less than 0.70.

A membrane is electrically charged to a polarity. A surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a solution is caused to acquire a charge of the polarity. The solution is filtered through the membrane. An electromagnetic repulsion between the membrane of the polarity and the CNTs of the polarity causes the CNTs to spontaneously align to form a crystalline structure.

An underwater pipe, including a metal reinforcing layer around an inner polymeric sealing sheath capable of being in contact with hydrocarbons. The inner polymeric sealing sheath includes a homopolymeric polypropylene or a mixture of homopolymeric polypropylenes, wherein the homopolymeric polypropylene or the mixture has a density greater than 0.900 g/cm.sup.3, and a melt index measured at 230° C. under a mass of 2.16 kg of less than 10 g/10 minutes, its preparation method and its use for the transport of hydrocarbons. Such a sheath may be used in contact with hydrocarbons at high temperature.
