Described herein are resilient floor coverings produced by using digitally printed UV-cured inks and exhibiting high adhesion properties between an ink layer and a wear layer. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

An aluminum alloy material is provided. The aluminum alloy material has excellent bonding durability and is not susceptible to decrease in the bonding strength even if exposed to a high-temperature humid environment. A bonded body, a member for automobiles, and a method for producing the aluminum alloy material are also provided. In the method for producing the aluminum alloy material, the etching amount is controlled to be less than 700 nm when a first film composed of an oxide film is formed on the surface of an aluminum alloy base; and after the formation of the first film by a treatment using an aqueous solution containing a silicate salt, which is the final stage of the substantial film formation, a second film having a siloxane bond is formed by performing a silane coupling treatment.

A composite structure comprising a resinous component that is adhered to a surface of a metal component is provided. The resinous component is formed from a polymer composition that comprises a polyarylene sulfide, inorganic fibers, and an impact modifier. The inorganic fibers have an aspect ratio of from about 1.5 to about 10.

Systems and methods are described herein for manufacturing and using roofing membranes that are faster and easier to install than conventional adhesive-only membrane materials. In some embodiments, membrane materials are surface treated using a plasma flow, e.g., a blown-arc plasma flow, atmospheric plasma, corona plasma, or from portable plasma units, generated by passing a compressed plasma-generating gas through an electrical current to form the plasma-treated roofing membrane. The plasma treatments described herein may be applied as part of the manufacturing process, or in-situ at the site of roof installation. In some embodiments, membrane materials have surface chemistries, roughnesses and other surface characteristics that yield desired adhesion properties.

A manufacturing method for a laminated body having a laminated film and an adhesive layer, the manufacturing method including a step of forming the adhesive layer on one surface of the laminated film, wherein the laminated film is a laminated film on which at least a substrate, and a thin film layer containing at least silicon are laminated; and the step of forming the adhesive layer includes forming the adhesive layer on a surface of a laminated film material in which the thin film layer is laminated, while conveying the laminated film material in which the laminated film is continuous in strip shape in a lengthwise direction, and while applying a tensile force of at least 0.5 N/mm.sup.2 and less than 50 N/mm.sup.2 per unit of cross-sectional area, in the lengthwise direction, to the laminated film material.

A flexible laminated sheet manufacturing method includes thermocompression-bonding an insulation film formed of a liquid crystal polymer onto a metal foil between endless belts to form a flexible laminated sheet. The thermocompression bonding includes heating the flexible laminated sheet so that the maximum temperature of the sheet is in the range from a temperature that is 45° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 5° C. lower than the melting point. The thermocompression bonding also includes slowly cooling the flexible laminated sheet so that an exit temperature, which is a temperature of the sheet when transferred out of the endless belts, is in the range from a temperature that is 235° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 100° C. lower than the melting point.

A method of preparing an aluminum alloy resin composite comprises: providing an aluminum alloy substrate having an oxide layer on a surface thereof, wherein the oxide layer has one or more nanopores; forming one or more corrosion pores on an outer surface of the oxide layer by using a corrosion agent, wherein the corrosion agent is at least one selected from a group of ammonia, ammonium salt, hydrazine, hydrazine derivative, and water-soluble amine compound; and injection molding a resin composition to the surface of the aluminum alloy substrate.
