Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to housings for, e.g., memory devices and electronic devices, and to processes for forming such housings. In an embodiment, an article for housing at least a portion of an electronic device is provided. The article includes a first component comprising a thermoplastic and a biodegradable filler or polymer, and a second component disposed on at least a portion of the first component, the second component comprising a plurality of layers. The article has a scratch visibility load of about 200 gms or more, an electrostatic discharge static voltage of about 100 V or less, a thermal conductivity of about 0.28 W/mK or more, or combinations thereof.

Disclosed is a keyboard for an information handling system. The keyboard includes a top cover comprising a polyester and a plurality of jute fibers, a keycap assembly comprising one or more keycaps, and a bottom cover comprising a first polylactic acid (PLA) and a post-consumer resin (PCR). The keycap assembly can be positioned between the top cover and the bottom cover, and the top cover can include one or more openings keycap assembly keycaps to protrude through.

A coating composition is described that can be completely biodegradable and well suited for use in laminating films to substrates. The coating composition contains a biodegradable polymer, such as a polyvinyl alcohol polymer. The coating composition can be applied to a biodegradable film and then adhered to a substrate, such as a paper substrate.

Provided is a recycling method of polyester wool blended fabric, which includes the following. A polyester wool blended fabric containing a dye is put into an acidic aqueous solution containing an oxidizing agent for heating and soaking, so as to degrade a wool in the polyester wool blended fabric, and perform decolorization at the same time to remove the dye. After that, a polyester fabric is obtained by filtration.

A foamable composition comprising at least one cellulose acetate, a plasticizer, a nucleating agent, and either a chemical blowing agent or a physical blowing agent is disclosed. The composition is formed into foamed articles that are biodegradable.

The present invention provides a composition comprising at least one organic component having particles between 1 and 4 mm, and a cured thermoset polymer, and wherein a w/w ratio of the organic component to the thermoset polymer within the composition is between 4:1 and 10:1. Furthermore, provided herein are articles in a form of planting pots comprising the composition of the invention. The invention also provides a method for manufacturing of planting pots.

The present invention relates to polyester and carbodiimide containing transparent films for solar cells, which are characterized by improved resistance to hydrolysis, and also to the solar cells comprising these films. The carbodiimides have a number-average molar mass M.sub.n of >1000 to <2000 g/mol, determined by GPC, measured in tetrahydrofuran (THF) against polystyrene as standard.

A biodegradable film is prepared from a composition that includes a copolyester obtained by extrusion reaction of a branched aliphatic-aromatic copolyester derived from monomer a, monomer b, monomer c and monomer d with an organic peroxide. The film can be completely degraded into small molecular products such as carbon dioxide, water and the like under natural or composting conditions. Moreover, the film can be prepared having a thickness of 4-50 μm as required, and its mechanical properties can reach the same level as or even better than those of LDPE film.

Provided is a biodegradable resin composition that exhibits excellent biodegradability even in a molded product having a large thickness, has excellent mechanical properties, and is economically advantageous, and a molded product using the same. The molded product is provided using an inorganic substance powder-containing biodegradable resin composition including: a biodegradable resin and an inorganic substance powder in a mass ratio of 10:90 to 70:30, in which the biodegradable resin is a cellulose acetate-based resin and the inorganic substance powder is heavy calcium carbonate.

A foamed sheet includes an aliphatic polyester resin and a filler. A degree of hydrophohization of the filler is 50% by mass or more, and a pH of the filler is 6.5 or lower. A manufacture includes the foamed sheet and a method can be used for producing the foamed sheet.
