An embodiment relates to a sheet comprising an acrylic resin layer and a fluorinated polymer resin layer directly formed on one surface of the acrylic resin layer; a laminated steel plate comprising the sheet; and a manufacturing method therefor.

The present application relates to a polycarbonate composite article, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The polycarbonate composite article includes a foamed polycabonate layer and a non-foamed polycarbonate film layer on the foamed polycarbonate layer. The polycarbonate composite article according to the present invention has a reduced weight and improved signal penetration performance, and can be used as an antenna housing.

A modular utility vehicle construct that is light weight yet robust is provided. The construct is formed with a composite open area core sandwich structure capable of withstanding typical wear and tear and environmental elements experienced by utility vehicle compartments. The use of the composite sandwich structure allows for replacement of traditional materials such as steel or aluminum, without a loss of strength, in a vehicle's containment construct while also reducing the overall weight of the vehicle and increasing the ability to customize the vehicle's utility features to suit the specific needs of the purchaser.

A transparent or translucent composite material, an architectural apparatus comprising the transparent or translucent composite material, and a method of manufacturing the composite material are described. The transparent or translucent composite material having a core film comprising PET, a first and second ETFE film on the outer portion, adhered via an adhesive layer configured to be fire-retardant and/or light-absorbent. The core film may have on one or both sides a solar control layer configured to block light, provide color, or other properties to the composite material.

Devices, systems, and methods for providing do-it-yourself protection from environmental forces to at least a portion of a structure are provided. The device can include a woven fabric having at least one edge with opposing first and second sides and a reinforcing fabric having a first portion and a second portion, at least the first portion being attached to a portion of the woven fabric at the at least one edge to form at least one reinforced portion, the device being afixable to the structure by at least one anchor extending through the reinforced portion into the structure, the at least one reinforced portion providing tear-resistance at the location of the anchor extending therethrough.

A floor panel includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer is composed of a print and a transparent thermoplastic layer having a thickness of 0.5 mm or less and being situated above said print. The floor panel, at least on two opposite edges, is provided with a straight or curved chamfer extending to below the global level of the print.

A curable epoxy composition comprising a polyvalent epoxy compound (A) having a biphenyl structure and/or condensed polycyclic structure, a phosphorus-containing epoxy compound (B) having a structure shown by the following formula (1) or (2), and a triazine structure-containing phenol resin (C) and a film, laminated film, prepreg, laminate, cured article, and composite article obtained using the same are provided.

Where, in the formula (1), each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 respectively independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the pluralities of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different, and each of “m” and “n” respectively independently represents an integer of 0 to 4, and where, in the formula (2), each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 respectively independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the pluralities of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different, and each of “m” and “n” respectively independently represents an integer of 0 to 5.

A three-dimensional reinforced membrane is designed to be inflated and used in various structural applications. A dropstitch or double wall fabric may be reinforced with one or more coatings, such as urethane-based coatings, and may also be laminated in accordance with various disclosed embodiments.

Tetrafluoroethene-based fluoropolymers of low gel content, methods of making the fluoropolymers, methods of extruding the fluoropolymers into articles, and extruded articles comprising the fluoropolymers.

The invention relates to a method for adhering two substrates, namely a first substrate A and a second substrate B, to each other using a latent-reactive adhesive film with at least one latent-reactive adhesive film layer which has a thermoplastic component with a melting temperature T(melt), where 35° C.≦T(melt)≦90° C., said thermoplastic component containing functional groups that can react to isocyanate, and an isocyanate-containing component that is dispersed into the thermoplastic component in a particulate form and is blocked, microencapsulated, or substantially deactivated in the region of the particle surface. The particles have a start temperature T(start) of 40° C.≦T(start)≦120° C., wherein T(start)≧T(melt). A surface of the first substrate A is brought into contact with a first surface of the latent-reactive adhesive film, and a surface of the second substrate B is brought into contact with the second surface of the latent-reactive adhesive film. The adhesion is caused by heating the latent-reactive adhesive film to a temperature which corresponds to or is higher than at least the start temperature T(start). The invention is characterized in that at least the surface of the first substrate A which is brought into contact with the latent-reactive adhesive film is treated with a primer before the first substrate A is brought into contact with the latent-reactive adhesive film, and/or at least the first surface of the latent-reactive adhesive film which is brought into contact with the first substrate A is treated with a primer before the first substrate A is brought into contact with the latent-reactive adhesive film.
