A system for fabricating an electrode film for a secondary battery includes a powder film fabrication unit configured to form mixture powder with active material powder, binder powder, and conductive material powder, and fabricating a powder film roll by fibrillating the mixture powder, a base material film fabrication unit configured to form a mixture solution with carbon-based powder, the binder powder, and organic solvent, and form a base material film roll by patterning the mixture solution on a base material film, and an electrode film fabrication unit configured to dispose the base material film roll between two powder film rolls, and form an electrode film roll by overlapping and bonding the powder film and the base material film.

The present invention concerns a reinforcing material comprising at least one fibrous reinforcement associated on at least one of its faces with a thermoplastic porous layer, said thermoplastic porous layer(s) representing at most 10% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, preferably from 0.5 to 10% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, and more preferably from 2 to 6% of the total mass of the reinforcing material, characterized in that said thermoplastic porous layer or each of said thermoplastic porous layers present comprises a so-called reactive thermoplastic polymer or consists of one or more reactive thermoplastic polymers, a reactive thermoplastic polymer carrying NH2 functions in an amount greater than 0.15 meq/g of reactive thermoplastic polymer and/or carrying COOH functions in an amount greater than 0.20 meq/g of reactive thermoplastic polymer.

The invention also concerns processes for manufacturing such reinforcement materials, preforms, processes for manufacturing composite parts and composite parts using such reinforcement materials.

The technology relates to a heat sealing system (400). For instance, the heat sealing system may include a sealer assembly (800) including a pair of heat sealing bars (830, 840) configured to generate heat seals. The heat sealing system may also include a positioning (900) assembly including a platform (910) and a motor (952). The sealer assembly may be mounted to the positioning assembly, and the motor may be configured to move the sealer assembly towards and away from an edge of a table (1600).

Device for forming a tube, for example a packaging tube, from a sheet (3), said device comprising at least one welding rod (2), means for welding and pressurizing the welded zone (7-9) and means (4-6) for driving the sheet (3) along the rod (2). The device also comprises means (10-12, 14) that reduce the friction between the welding rod (2) and the sheet (3).

Polypropylene-based sheet materials such as a polypropylene-based foam sheet material and a multilayered sheet material including the polypropylene-based foam as a layer are disclosed. The multilayered sheet material may include the polypropylene-based foam layer sandwiched between and adhered to outer polypropylene-based polymer films to provide a multilayered sheet material. The polypropylene-based foam sheet and multilayered sheet material including the polypropylene-based foam as a layer may be used in the production of printed products such as sign panels.
