Various enhancements of heat seals are provided herein with sealant layers that provide for decreased chance of oversealing the heat seal to a container. Such enhancements include the use of various types of resins in combination to provide for desirable heating and sealing characteristics. Further, the heat seals may be especially suitable for use with polyester containers, such as those containing polyethylene terephthalate.

A bonded body is a bonded body in which a first metal member is bonded to a second metal member, where the first metal member is formed of a material having a hardness higher than that of the second metal member. The bonded body has a structure in which the second metal member is inserted into a protruded and recessed portion formed on a bonding surface of the first metal member, and the bonded body has a region in which the first metal member is in direct contact with the second metal member, and a gap between the first metal member and the second metal member is filled with a resin material.

Disclosed herein are a method for manufacturing a metal-polymer hybrid part, the metal-polymer hybrid part itself, and a laminate component. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a laminate component containing at least one metallic layer covered by at least one first functional layer, (b) providing a polymeric component, (c) bringing into contact the polymeric component with the at least one first functional layer of the laminate component, (d) joining the polymeric component onto the at least one first functional layer by physical treatment and (e) obtaining the metal-polymer hybrid part.

Provided is: a curing reactive silicone composition having sufficient toughness and pressure sensitive adhesive strength to temporarily secure various substrate even in an uncured state, having heat meltability and excellent moldability of a sheet or the like, and that can be quickly cured by high energy irradiation to achieve high adhesive strength; a method of manufacturing a sheet thereof a cured product thereof that can achieve high adhesive strength by crimping; and applications thereof. The curing reactive silicone composition comprises: (A) an MQ resin; (B) a chain organopolysiloxane having at least two groups containing an aliphatic unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, and a degree of siloxane polymerization within a range of 80 to 3000; (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane; and (D) a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst activated by a high energy beam. The amount of component (A) is more than 55 mass % and less than 90 mass % of the sum of components (A) to (C).

A structure capable of leaving a repetition of heating and cooling as a dynamic deformation amount. The structure retains joining performance of a laminated body made of two types of materials having different thermal properties.

In a method of producing a resin frame member for a fuel cell, a processing die is used. The method includes a processing step of moving an upper die toward a lower die to thereby form an inclined surface on each of side parts of a resin film. In the processing step, shearing is performed while maintaining a predetermined clearance between the lower processing section and the upper processing section and in a state where each of the side parts is at least partially positioned at a cutout so that each of the side parts is inclined downward toward the inside. The cutout is formed by cutting off an edge part of a placement surface that is positioned on the lower processing section side.

This invention relates to a process for reducing or eliminating organoleptic degradation in organoleptically sensitive foods packaged in flexible packaging, and packaged products thereof. This invention also relates to organoleptic flexible packaging made from polymeric films comprising oxidation-stable and non-migratory polysiloxane as slip additive. The oxidative-stability and non-migratory nature of the polysiloxane slip additive provides an organoleptic flexible packaging that is non-interactive with and inert to the organoleptically sensitive food packaged within, specifically: (1) coffee; (2) beer; (3) water; and (4) wine.

One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a length of energy-dissipative tubing; a first sealing device coupled to a first end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing; and a second sealing device coupled to a second end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing. Exposure to one or more selected from the group consisting of: fault currents or lightning strikes at an exposure point along the length of energy-dissipative tubing will produce arcs at the exposure point and at least one of the first end and the second end.

A packaging material comprising a graphene-reinforced polymer matrix composite (G-PMC) is disclosed. The packaging material has improved barrier resistance to gas and liquid permeants. Also disclosed is a method of improving barrier resistance of a polymer to a permeant, the method comprising forming a graphene-reinforced polymer matrix composite within the polymer.
