Crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires is subjected to an interlinked substitution process. The process utilizes a reactive component that interferes with sulfur bonds. The resulting treated rubber exhibits properties similar to those of the virgin composite rubber structure prior to being granulated, and is suitable for use in fabricating new tires, engineered rubber articles, and asphalt rubber for use in waterproofing and paving applications.

A multilayer composite is disclosed comprising a heat shrinkable polymer layer and a nanofiber layer. Methods of forming the composite and uses thereof are also described.

A filler-containing film has a structure in which fillers are held in a binder resin layer. The average particle diameter of the fillers is 1 to 50 μm, the total thickness of the resin layer is 0.5 times or more and 2 times or less the average particle diameter of the fillers, and the ratio Lq/Lp of, relative to the minimum inter-filler distance Lp at one end of the filler-containing film in a long-side direction, a minimum inter-filler distance Lq at the other end at least 5 m away from the one end in the film long-side direction is 1.2 or less. The fillers are preferably arranged in a lattice form.

The disclosure relates to fame constructions comprising a glass substrate and a curved surface defining at least one curvature, wherein the engagement of the glass substrate with the curved surface imparts a curvature on the glass substrate.

A stretchable multiple-layer nanocomposite material is provided and includes at least a nanocomposite material layer comprising a network of nanotubes modified with an elastomeric polymer; and at least one additional layer laminated with the nanocomposite material layer. The number of nanocomposite layers and additional layers, the nature and composition thereof, may be varied in a surface direction and/or a thickness direction so as to provide tailored mechanical and physico-chemical properties to a resulting skin that can be used to produce morphing or deployable structures.

An adaptive textile that includes a plurality of a first fiber having a first expansion coefficient and a plurality of a second fiber having a second expansion coefficient. There is a difference between the expansion coefficient of the first fiber and the expansion coefficient of the second fiber; at least one of the first or second fibers is a twisted coil actuator; and linear displacement of the twisted coil actuator causes the adaptive textile to bend.

A metal material having thermodynamic anisotropy has an X-axis hardness of 160-180 HV, an X-axis hardness thermal expansion coefficient of 5×10−6-100×10−6 K.sup.−1; a Y-axis hardness of 160-180 HV, a Y-axis hardness thermal expansion coefficient of 5×10−6-100×10−6 K.sup.−1; and a Z-axis hardness of 180-250 HV, a Z-axis hardness thermal expansion coefficient of 50×10−6-1000×10−6 K.sup.−1. A method for preparing a metal material having thermodynamic anisotropy is also disclosed.

An anisotropic conductive film (ACF) structure and a hot-pressing method and a hot-pressing assembly thereof are provided. The ACF structure includes an ACF and a copper/gold foil surface layer as a substrate. The ACF structure is hot-pressed by a hot-pressing method, which includes the following steps: allowing, when the ACF is in a molten state, the copper/gold foil surface layer and a bonded part to be conductive respectively to generate a magnetic field around to enhance the attraction of the copper/gold foil surface layer and the bonded part to conductive particles inside the ACF; and applying, when the ACF is in a curing stage, a closed circuit to ends of the copper/gold foil surface layer and the bonded part to perform real-time detection on the ACF to ensure the effectiveness of the hot pressing.

A container for transporting a beverage has at least one part made of a sandwich structural laminate. The sandwich structural laminate has a thermoplastic resin foam core, a fiber reinforced resin outer skin, and a fiber reinforced resin inner skin.
