Presented are multilayer composite panels for motor vehicles, methods for making/using such panels, and motor vehicles with transparent composite roof panels having localized reinforcement features. A sandwich-type multilayer composite panel contains one or more exterior layers each including a transparent rigid material, one or more bonding layers each including a transparent adhesive material, and one or more structural reinforcement layers each including a fiber-reinforced polymer material. Each structural reinforcement layer may be attached directly to a bonding layer and/or exterior layer. The composite panel may also include one or more IR-reflective layers, one or more light-absorbing sunshade layers, and one or more insulating low-k layers. The multilayer body panel has a plan-view profile; the individual layers extend substantially the entire length and width of the plan area, whereas the fibers in each structural reinforcement layer are localized to one or more discrete regions within the plan-view profile.

The present invention relates to a method for producing an engineered wood, comprising the steps of: (a) breaking down a veneer to increase its porosity; (b) impregnating the veneer from step (a) with an adhesive material; (c) drying the veneer from step (b) to a predetermined moisture content level; (d) arranging a plurality of the veneers from step (c) in a mould; and (e) pressing the plurality of the veneers in the mould. The engineered wood has an appearance of natural timber, and is able to withstand extreme weather conditions and have minimum warping, rotting and termite infestation.

Methods of manufacturing electrochromic windows are described. Insulated glass units (IGU's) are protected, e.g. during handling and shipping, by a protective bumper. The bumper can be custom made using IGU dimension data received from the IGU fabrication tool. The bumper may be made of environmentally friendly materials. Laser isolation configurations and related methods of patterning and/or configuring an electrochromic device on a substrate are described. Edge deletion is used to ensure a good seal between spacer and glass in an IGU and thus better protection of an electrochromic device sealed in the IGU. Configurations for protecting the electrochromic device edge in the primary seal and maximizing viewable area in an electrochromic pane of an IGU are also described.

The invention relates to a polymer obtainable by the radical polymerization of at least one monomer, namely one or more (meth)acrylate monomers and optionally, in addition, vinylic comonomers, wherein the polymer has a molar mass M.sub.W of at least 5,000 g/mol and at most 200,000 g/mol and at least one of the monomers is functionalized with at least one epoxy group, wherein the proportion of the epoxide-functionalized monomer(s) (a) is more than 30 wt %.

The invention discloses a heat sealable multilayer polyester based film that form hermetic and peelable seals onto polyester containers and their use in food packaging.

The present disclosure provides a stretchable film and a fabricating method thereof, and a display device including the same. The stretchable film is composed of at least two layers, where each layer includes a first portion and a plurality of second portions. The first portion is a grid-like structure having a plurality of openings, and the second portion is an island-like structure in the opening. Any one of the plurality of second portions in any one layer does not completely overlap with any one of the plurality of second portions in other layers. The first portions of adjacent layers are partially overlapped, and the overlapped portions are adhered together. The first portion has an elasticity modulus that is less than an elasticity modulus of the second portion.

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass capable of enhancing the adhesive force between a layer containing a (meth)acryloyl polymer, and an adherend arranged on the layer, and enhancing the sound insulating property of the laminated glass. An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention has a one-layer or two or more-layer structure, the interlayer film includes a first layer containing a (meth)acryloyl polymer prepared by polymerizing polymerization components including at least one kind of cyclic skeleton-containing (meth)acryloyl monomer selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acryloyl monomer having an aromatic skeleton, a (meth)acryloyl monomer having an alicyclic skeleton and a (meth)acryloyl monomer having a cyclic ether skeleton, and a content of the cyclic skeleton-containing (meth)acryloyl monomer is 50% by weight or more in 100% by weight of the polymerization components.

A window pane includes at least one structural substrate referred to as interior substrate, intended to face toward a host structure within which the window pane is intended to be fixed, and having a face, referred to as interior face, wherein the interior face of the substrate includes, projecting therefrom and at the edge or near the edge and along at least one of the sides of the window pane, at least one male or female retaining element intended to collaborate with at least one respectively female or male retaining shape arranged in the host structure of the window pane.
