A bonding step in a method of producing a bonded body includes a first bonding step of forming a sealing layer (4) by irradiating a sealing material (6) belonging to an inner group (IG) with a laser beam (L), and a second bonding step of forming a sealing layer (4) by irradiating a sealing material (6) belonging to an outer group (OG) with the laser beam (L) after the first bonding step.

A method for producing a multi-layered wet friction material includes providing a bottom layer, providing a top layer produced independently of the bottom layer from different materials, and bonding the bottom layer to the top layer. The bottom layer and the top layer may be produced from different formulations and supplied as raw papers. A formulation of the top layer may include twenty to sixty percent (20%-60%) filler, ten to forty percent (10%-40%) wood pulp, five to ten percent (5%-10%) aramid, and twenty-five to thirty-five percent (25%-35%) phenolic resin. A formulation of the bottom layer may include ten to fifty percent (10%-50%) filler, ten to forty percent (10%-40%) wood pulp, five to ten percent (5%-10%) aramid, five to fifteen percent (5%-15%) carbon, and twenty-five to thirty-five percent (25%-35%) phenolic resin.

This metal-FRP composite body comprises a metal member, an FRP layer and a bonding resin layer that is interposed between the metal member and the FRP layer. The bonding resin layer is a solidified product of a phenoxy resin (A) by itself, or alternatively, a cured product of a bonding resin composition that contains 50 parts by weight or more of the phenoxy resin (A) in 100 parts by weight of the resin components; and the bonding resin layer firmly bonds the metal member and the FRP layer to each other. The bonding resin composition may additionally contain 5-85 parts by weight of an epoxy resin (B) relative to 100 parts by weight of the phenoxy resin (A), and a crosslinking agent (C) that contains an acid dianhydride.

The invention comprises a method of making synthetic turf. The method comprises applying an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer adhesive to a first primary surface of a tufted primary backing to form a coating thereon and wherein the primary backing is tufted with a plurality of synthetic filaments to form a face pile extending outwardly from a second primary surface of the synthetic turf opposite the first primary surface and heating the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer adhesive to a temperature above its melting point so that the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer adhesive melts and at least partially flows into the primary backing. The method also comprises heating a linear low-density polyethylene film to a temperature below the softening point of the film and pressing the heated linear low-density polyethylene film into contact with the polymer coated first primary surface of the tufted primary backing. The method further comprises allowing the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer adhesive and the linear low-density polyethylene film to cool, whereby the linear low-density polyethylene film is adhered to the tufted primary backing.

A method for connecting the joint of two ends of at least one chassis sealing element. In order to allow a secure and quick connection of the ends and allow an additional unhindered passage of air and moisture between hollow chambers within the chassis sealing element via the joint when using a profiled hollow chamber, the ends are first arranged at a distance to each other, and a shapeless bonding agent is applied to at least one end. The bonding agent is then heated, and the ends are brought into mutual contact, whereby the ends are bonded at the joint by way of the heated bonding agent.

Provided is a pre-applied waterproofing membrane having a waterproofing adhesive layer and an outer particle layer comprising synthetic polymer granules to protect the adhesive layer and to facilitate detailing at membrane-to-membrane overlaps. In preferred embodiments, the synthetic polymer granules are made from polymers selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl acetate, acrylic, and styrene butadiene copolymers or polymers. Most preferably, the synthetic polymer granules have round or spherical shapes that help to facilitate detailing at the building or installation site, such as sealing at membrane overlaps, and sealing around pipes or other details. Alternatively, the membranes may be made having side edges which are free of synthetic polymer granules, whereby a removable release liner strip can be used to prevent adhesive from sticking to the back of the membrane when the membrane is rolled up on itself for shipment.

An imide resin composition including a terminal-modified imide oligomer of General Formula (1) and a thermoplastic aromatic polyimide of General Formula (2). (In Formula (1), either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 shows a phenyl group and the other shows a hydrogen atom; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 show a divalent residue of aromatic diamine; R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 show a tetravalent residue of aromatic tetracarboxylic acid; m and n satisfy relationships of m1, n0, 1m+n20, and 0.05m/(m+n)1; and an arrangement of repeating units may be either a block or random.) (In Formula (2), R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 show a divalent residue of aromatic diamine; R.sub.3 shows a tetravalent residue of aromatic tetracarboxylic acid; m and n satisfy relationships of m1 and n0, and an arrangement of repeating units may be either a block or random.)

According to a manufacturing method and device for manufacturing a composite material having reinforced base materials with a resin impregnated in the reinforced base materials. An unactivated powdered adhesive is applied to at least one surface of a plurality of carbon fiber sheets. The carbon fiber sheets are laminated to form a laminate. At least a portion of the unactivated powdered adhesive that is applied between layers of the laminate is removed using an airflow that flows from one exterior surface of the laminate to an opposite exterior surface of the laminate to form a preform having a first region in which the activated adhesive is impregnated in the laminate, and a second region in which a content density of the activated adhesive is less than that in the first region.

Textiles are re-cycled by grinding and scatter-laying onto a needle-punched web optionally containing low-melting material, followed by laying a second needle-punched web over the scattered layer and re-needling the three layers before applying heat or heat and pressure to activate the low-melting ground material present within the layers. Additional low-melt ground material is optionally blended into the ground textile if low melt components are absent or insufficient to bond the composite. The ground material is driven and dispersed into the surrounding web layers with at least part of the material being adjacent the two outer surfaces. The physical properties of the composite can be adjusted by selecting suitable combinations including but not limited to needling stroke depth, needling density, needle gage, low-melt content, heat finishing conditions, and relative layer weights. The final composites can optionally be reintroduced into the original end use and include significant percentages of recycled material.
