Provided is a three-dimensional modeling material used for a fused deposition modeling three-dimensional printer. The three-dimensional modeling material has a multilayer structure and contains, in respective different layers, a thermoplastic resin (A) having a shear storage elastic modulus (G′) of 1.00×10.sup.7 Pa or less as measured at 100° C. and 1 Hz and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a shear storage elastic modulus (G′) of more than 1.00×10.sup.7 Pa as measured at 100° C. and 1 Hz.

The invention relates to a method for producing molded parts from fiber composite material, including the following steps: a) providing a press having a first press tool, a second press tool and a membrane. The first press tool and the second press tool are movable relative to each other. The membrane is connected to one of the press tools, a cavity for a working medium being formed between the membrane and the press tool connected thereto, a working chamber for a workpiece being formed in the other press tool, and the volume of the working chamber being modifiable by a movement of the membrane when the press is closed, b) providing at least one workpiece having a workpiece volume. The workpiece has a matrix and fibers inserted therein, c) inserting the workpiece into the working chamber of the press, d) closing the press. The working chamber takes up a first volume, e) applying pressure and/or temperature to the workpiece by means of the membrane. The working chamber takes up a second volume, a hardened molded part being created from the workpiece, and f) opening the press and removing the molded part. In order to ensure continuous and uniform pressure distribution, according to the invention the first volume of the working chamber is smaller than the workpiece volume, and therefore the workpiece is already compressed at step d) and before step e).

The present invention relates to a molding made of reactive foam, wherein at least one fiber (F) is arranged partially inside the molding, i.e. is surrounded by the reactive foam. The two ends of the respective fiber (F) not surrounded by the reactive foam thus each project from one side of the corresponding molding. The reactive foam is produced by a mold foaming process. The present invention further provides a panel comprising at least one such molding and at least one further layer (S1). The present invention further provides processes for producing the moldings according to the invention from reactive foam/the panels according to the invention and also provides for the use thereof as a rotor blade in wind turbines for example.

A husk plastic composite comprises a composition including: PVC 10˜20 wt %; vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate (VC/VAC) copolymer 10˜30 wt %; styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) 1˜5 wt %; chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) 1˜5 wt %; rice husk powder 10˜40 wt %; inorganic filler 10˜40 wt %; internal lubricant 0.1˜1 wt %; external lubricant 0.1˜1 wt %, and heat stabilizer 1˜5 wt %. The VC/VAC copolymer in the husk plastic composition provided by the present invention can allow the composition to be processed by relatively lower processing temperature to save energy consumption. It will also prevent the husk powder from being burnt or decomposed due to high temperature during the heating process to allow this natural material being added in a large amount in the composition. The present invention can reduce the amount of PVC through a large amount of filling additives but still maintain in good product mechanical properties. The particle size of the husk is preferably in the range of 0.10˜0.60 mm for better hardness, stiffness and wood-like texture in the final product.

A method is provided for making a microcellular shoe stiffener has first and second adhesive layers coextruded on opposite first and second surfaces of a stiffener core. The stiffener core may include a recycled polymeric material. Nitrogen in a supercritical fluid state is introduced into the extruder for the stiffener core to produce a closed cell foam with a gaseous component. The gas reduces the weight and cost of the stiffener without significantly reducing stiffness and resiliency.

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing one or more 3D products by additive manufacturing using a layer-by-layer technique and a 3D printing device. The method comprises the steps of; setting a first thickness of a reference layer and forming one or more material layer having a second thickness. The second thickness is set as a multiple of an integer and said first thickness of the reference layer, and performing a binding action on said material layer.

Fibrous preform for a composite blade and also a composite blade formed by means of such a preform, a rotor and a rotating machine comprising such a blade, the preform comprising a first longitudinal section, configured to form a blade root, and a second longitudinal section, extending from the first longitudinal section, configured to form a portion of an airfoil, wherein the first longitudinal section has a first thickness at its upper end and wherein the second longitudinal section comprises at least one set-back zone having a thickness at least three times less than the first thickness, said set-back zone occupying at least 50% of the second longitudinal section.

A process and related assembly for creating an extrusion molded article with a chemically applied outer film. An extruded base material is formed during a first extrusion operation, following which a multi-layer film is bonded to the base material while the base material still at an above ambient temperature. The multi-layer film further includes successive layers of each of a polypropylene (PP), an adhesive, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a coating and s subsequent surface PET. The step of bonding of the film further occurs during an intermediate step between the first extrusion operation for forming the base material according to a given profile section and a subsequent extrusion operation for applying additional material along an edge of the film, the additional material including profile wings as required for a given design.
