A plastic form and its manufacturing process are disclosed. The process involves a single-screw extruder and a twin-screw extruder in mixing a first material and a second material, and a hydraulic distributor evenly distributing the first and second materials to a mesh forming machine to produce the plastic form. The plastic form has a mesh structure by a first piece, a second piece, multiple first partitions, at least a second partition, multiple channels. The first and second materials respectively include at least one of PP particles, PE particles, PC particles, PA particles, ABS resin particles, fiberglass particles, and stone powder, in accordance with application requirement. The plastic form has advantages such as high structural strength, impact resistance, adhesion, hardness, anti-skidding, and flame retarding. As recycled materials are used, the plastic form is also inexpensive and environmentally friendly.

To provide a biaxially-stretched polyester film that can be used as a base film for vapor deposition, has excellent barrier properties, dimensional stability, processability, bag breakage resistance, and chemical resistance, and has less transfer of an extract to contents after retorting. A biaxially-stretched polyester film having features (a), (b), (c), and (d) below and having a thickness of 10 to 30 μm: (a) the biaxially-stretched polyester film is formed from a polyester resin composition containing a polybutylene terephthalate resin (A) in a range of 60% by mass or more; (b) a thermal shrinkage of the biaxially-stretched polyester film at 150° C. for 30 minutes is −2 to +2%; (c) thickness accuracy of the biaxially-stretched polyester film is 1 to 20%; and (d) a total amount of 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran volatilized during heating at a temperature of 135° C. for 60 minutes is not more than 2000 ppb.

A forming mold for making polyvinyl chloride foamed wood-like slats includes an inlet, an outlet, and two main flow passages symmetrically arranged with respect to a central axis. The main flow passages each have an inlet section and an outlet section. The inlet section of each main flow passage is connected to the inlet. The extension direction of the inlet section of each main flow passage respectively defines with the central axis an included angle therebetween. The sum of the angles of the two first included angles ranges from 45 to 52 degrees. The longitudinal cross-sectional width of each main flow passage gradually decreases from the inlet toward the outlets. In this way, the forming mold of the present invention can effectively improve production efficiency and can increase the stability of the product manufacturing process.

A polymer optical fiber is provided which shows improved hydrolytic stability. This fiber comprises a polymeric optical core and cladding layer, surrounded by a polymeric overcladding layer which comprises a miscible blend of one or more hydrolytically stable amorphous polymers. By varying the ratios of the component polymers in the overcladding blend, the glass transition temperature and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the overcladding layer may be tuned to optimize the attenuation and bandwidth of the plastic optical fiber.

A multilayered composite shape memory material includes a coextruded first polymer layer of a first polymer material and a second polymer layer of a second polymer material. The composite shape memory material after thermomechanical programming being capable of undergoing at least one temperature induced shape transition from a temporary shape to a permanent shape. The first polymer layer defines a hard segment of the shape memory material that provides the shape memory material with the permanent shape, and the second polymer layer defines a switching segment of the shape memory material that provides the shape memory material with the temporary shape.

A tyre strip extrusion apparatus includes extruders and an extrusion head which includes a head housing having feed openings respectively connected to the extruders for feed of extrusion material. An injection moulding tool is connected to the head housing and includes a profile plate formed with an outlet opening which communicates with the feed openings for extrusion material to flow from the feed openings to the outlet opening for extruding a web from the extrusion material. Bearing against the head housing along a first parting surface is a first distributor plate. A second distributor plate is arranged upstream of the profile plate in flow direction of the extrusion material. The first distributor plate bears along a second parting surface against the second distributor plate. The first and second distributor plates are configured such that at least a majority of the material paths runs through the first and second parting surfaces.

A synthetic board stock for packaging food product is described, as well as a process for producing the synthetic board stock. The synthetic board stock has multiple layers with chosen properties. The board stock has a density less than 1.0 g/cm3 in order to meet the post-consumer waste stream recycling requirements for polypropylene, polyethylene and other polyolefin polymers. A process for making the synthetic board stock is also described, wherein the process eliminates a step from the prior related to dual print passes.

A wood-grained polymer substrate includes a plurality of layers of different colors. The substrate is formed into elongated boards and used in the production of various end products similar to natural wood.
