A composite foam article is disclosed herein. The composite foam article comprises a polyurethane foam core presenting a first surface and a second surface facing opposite the first surface. A first skin is disposed on the first surface and a second skin is disposed on the second surface. The first and second skins comprise a plurality of fibers and a polymeric binder. The composite foam article also comprises at least one supplemental layer comprising an ethylene and acrylic acid copolymer dispersed in and/or disposed between any of said aforementioned skins and core.

A non-provisioned card having a front side and a back side, and at least one visible surface that is patinated or activated to promote patination.

Compositions, systems, devices, and methods for making a headliner, e.g., a substrate having a laminated textile laminate or coverstock attached to a surface thereof, are discussed herein. The substrate can include a fabric-foam laminate that is directly attached to the substrate without the use of an adhesive layer. The foam can be flame bonded to the substrate and the textile simultaneously by activating the adhesive properties of the foam. In some embodiments, the headliner does not include a non-woven fabric layer in the manufacturing of the headliner.

A non-provisioned card having a front side and a back side, and at least one visible surface that is patinated or activated to promote patination.

A method for efficiently obtaining a raised sheet as a sheet for cleaning that has raised cleaning portions and effectively collects dust is described. Manufacturing a raised sheet can include stacking a base material sheet and fiber aggregate, applying a load to fibers of the fiber aggregate under an unheated state, forming joining portions by partially joining the fiber aggregate and the base material sheet, forming a fiber bundle joined to the base material sheet in the joining portions by cutting the fiber aggregate at portions where the fiber aggregate and the base material sheet are not joined, and raising fibers by injecting fluid to the fiber bundle.

A method of manufacturing a supported copper product is disclosed. The method includes: providing a thin copper foil and a poly-based film containing polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene, the poly-based film having an adhesive applied to a surface of the poly-based film; thermally treating the thin copper foil and the poly-based film along their respective lengths, the thermal treatment being adjustable to vary an amount of heat applied to the thin copper foil and the poly-based film; and attaching the thermally treated thin copper foil and the thermally treated poly-based film using the adhesive applied at the surface of the poly-based film.

The invention relates to a polyolefin film comprising at least five layers: a core layer (a), comprising a polyolefin; an outer supporting layer (b), comprising copolymers of ethylene and propylene; an inner supporting layer (c), on the face of the core layer opposite to the outer supporting layer, comprising a polyolefin; a first coating layer (d) immediately in contact with the inner supporting layer (c), and finally a second coating layer (e) immediately in contact with the inner supporting layer (c), both comprising copolymers of ethylene with one or several polar monomers. In addition, the present invention relates to the process of manufacturing said polyolefin film and also the uses thereof for coating a substrate.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for composite structures including a bonding layer that adheres a substrate (e.g., including a polymeric composition such as rubber) to a material (e.g., including a polymer such as polyurethane). The adhesion of the substrate to the material through the bonding layer can include chemical bonds such as, but not limited to, siloxane linkages, silanol linkages, silyl linkages, or any combination thereof in the bonding layer.

A positive transport of carbon fiber bundles, in ribbon form, with in-line manipulation of the fiber bundles (spreading or spreading and volumization with manipulators) during fiber bundle transport to points of fiber bundle deliveries into the circular loom bed plate turntable is described herein. The automated placements of these deliveries of the fiber bundle/tow at selected orientations in the area correspond to the feeding zone of an improved circular loom bed plate turntable.

A composite foam article is disclosed herein. The composite foam article comprises a polyurethane foam core presenting a first surface and a second surface facing opposite the first surface. A first skin is disposed on the first surface and a second skin is disposed on the second surface. The polyurethane foam core has a density of 15-80 kg/m.sup.3. The first and second skins comprise a plurality of fibers and a polymeric binder. The composite foam article has a weight per unit area of 500-1000 g/m.sup.2 and a strength of greater than 17 N at a post-compression thickness of greater than 2 mm when tested in according with SAE J949 at 23 C.
