Further still, the film may include a first skin layer located on the first intermediate layer and a second skin layer located on the second intermediate layers, wherein density is less than or equal to 0.85 g/cm.sup.3, whiteness is at least 84 using ASTM E 313, and each layer in the biaxially oriented, multilayered film may include polypropylene homopolymer.

A biodegradable polymeric sheet may be configured to undergo biodegradation on the ground responsive to an exposure to free air and natural day light. The biodegradable polymeric sheet may include a first layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50% and a polyester matrix, the first layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water; a second layer comprising a polysaccharide at a weight % of at least 40% and a polyester matrix; and a third layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50%, a polyester matrix and an additive configured to accelerate disintegration of the polymeric sheet when exposed to natural day light, the third layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water.

The present invention discloses a high content far-infrared elastomer and the method for manufacturing the far-infrared elastomer. The far-infrared elastomer includes an elastic material and a far-infrared material, wherein the elastic material has a weight proportion of 10-34.9%, the far-infrared material has a weight proportion of 65.1-90%, and the far-infrared elastomer has a specific weight of 1.5-4.0 and a hardness of 40-90 degrees. Therefore, the content of the far-infrared powder in the carrier has the optimum coverage, to enhance the irradiance of the far-infrared rays.

A method of delivering over the air, shelled portions of fluids or granular substances containing effective ingredients, to a target, includes the following stages: selecting a type and a size of the shelled portions containing the required effective ingredients, based on mission parameters and physical data of a scene containing the target; conveying the shelled portions to a delivery point, based on the mission parameters and the physical data; and ballistically delivering the shelled portions towards the target, wherein the shelled portions comprise fluids or granular substances covered by shells that provide the shelled portions a ballistic coefficient that is significantly higher than a ballistic coefficient of similar portions without the shells.

The invention pertains to a panel comprising a core layer and at least one surface layer bonded to the core layer, wherein the core layer comprises particulate material bonded with a resin and the surface layer comprises fibrous material bonded with a resin, the resins comprising a polymer derived from an aliphatic polyol with 2-15 carbon atoms and an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid with 3 to 15 carbon atoms, wherein the polymer has an extent of polymerization, determined gravimetrically, of at least 0.6, and wherein the ratio of the resin content (in wt. %) of the core layer to the total resin content (in wt. %) of the surface layer(s) is in the range of 1:1.5 to 1:15. The invention also pertains to a method of manufacturing the panel.
