The invention relates to a multilayered, flexible, flat semi-finished product or component with a segment-like surface and a method for its manufacture, as well as a multidimensionally curved moulded part made therefrom and a method for the manufacture of such a component.

A polymeric composite derived from a reclaimed polymeric material. The polymeric composite in particulate form can be thermally compressed into panels and other embodiments that require a component that possesses sufficient mechanical strength and moisture resistance. In certain embodiments, the panel may be utilized as one layer in a multilayered article.

The invention features sublingual film formulations of dopamine agonists and methods of treating Parkinson's disease, tremors, restless leg syndrome, sexual dysfunction, and depressive disorders therewith.

Disclosed herein is a multilayer film comprising a first layer and a second layer; and a tie layer; where the tie layer is disposed between the first layer and the second layer; the first layer being disposed on a first surface of the tie layer; the second layer being disposed on a second surface of the tie layer; where the second surface is opposedly disposed to the first surface; where the tie layer comprises a crystalline block composite and a carboxylated olefin copolymer.

A panel that includes at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate substantially consists of three layers, including a lowermost layer, a central layer and an uppermost layer, all made from thermoplastic material. Additionally, the thermoplastic material of the lower most layer and the uppermost layer is more rigid than the thermoplastic material of the central layer.

A method and device for manufacturing a sandwich structure comprising at least one foam layer of a first thermoplastic comprising a chemical blowing agent and two cover layers. The decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent is higher than the melting point or range of the first thermoplastic. The method comprises a series of steps performed on an advancing starting structure including heating under pressure in order to cause decomposition of the blowing agent, intermediate cooling, foaming at a constant volume and further cooling.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a surface protection film for a flexible display with which films are not adhered to each other. As a solution, provided is the surface protection film for a flexible display that has a protection layer made of polyurethane as an outermost surface thereof, the polyurethane having a tan ? peak temperature of 20? C. or more.

A method for making a floor or wall panel has a foamed polymer core. A foamable polymer powder is foamed between two conveyor belts in the forming zone of a steel belt press. The sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the layers at the entrance of the steel belt press is less than or equal to the opening of the steel belt press at the entrance of the steel belt press. The sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the substrate at the outlet of the steel belt press is equal to the opening of the steel belt press at the outlet of the steel belt press and greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the two conveyor belts and the total thickness of the layers at the entrance of the steel belt press.

A nonwoven laminate, includes in order (A) to (F), a spunbond nonwoven layer (A) including fibres with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and copolyester, and an optional spunbond nonwoven layer (B) including fibres, which include polyethylene terephthalate and copolyester, the nonwoven layer (B) having a higher copolyester content than nonwoven layer (A). A needled staple fibre nonwoven layer (C) includes monocomponent polyethylene terephthalate staple fibres (c1) and multicomponent staple fibres (c2), which include at least a polyethylene terephthalate component and a copolyester component. An optional spunbond nonwoven layer (D) includes fibres, with polyethylene terephthalate and copolyester, the nonwoven layer (D) having a higher copolyester content than nonwoven layer (E). A spunbond nonwoven layer (E) includes fibres with polyethylene terephthalate and copolyester. A nonwoven layer (F) includes monocomponent polyethylene terephthalate fibres and/or multicomponent fibres with at least a polyethylene terephthalate component and a copolyester component. All layers are melt-bonded to each other.

A technique of manufacturing an elastomeric container closure or plunger with embedded functional components to avoid thermal damage to the components is described. The technique includes molding a drug-contacting part from a first material at a first temperature and for a first length of time defining a first thermal exposure; after molding the drug-contacting part, inserting ancillary components into the drug-contacting part, where the ancillary components have an operational thermal budget less than the first thermal exposure; and overmolding the drug-contracting part and the ancillary components with a second material at a second temperature for a second length of time to form a non-drug-contacting part that mechanically connects the non-drug-contacting part and the drug-contacting part to form the elastomeric container closure and seals the ancillary components inside the elastomeric container closure. The overmolding defines a thermal exposure less than the operational thermal budget of the ancillary components.
