The present disclosure is directed to articles that include one or more coated fiber(s) (i.e., fiber(s) with a cured coating disposed thereon), where the coating includes a matrix of crosslinked polymers and optionally a colorant (e.g., pigment particles or dye or both). The cured coating is a product of crosslinking a coating composition including uncrosslinked polymers (e.g., a dispersion of uncrosslinked polymers in a carrier, wherein the uncrosslinked polymers are crosslinked to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers). The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the coated fibers, methods of forming the coated fibers and articles, and methods of making articles including the coated fibers.

Embodiments described herein can include a composition comprising a thermoset resin with a plurality of graphene flakes dispersed therein, each of the plurality of graphene flakes having a lateral dimension and a thickness. The composition further comprises a reinforcement material dispersed in the thermoset resin. At least about 90% of the plurality of graphene flakes are oriented such that the lateral dimension is within about 10 degrees of a parallel alignment with a horizontal plane. In some embodiments, at least about 95%, or at least about 99% of the plurality of graphene flakes are oriented such that the lateral dimension is within about 10 degrees of a parallel alignment with the horizontal plane. In some embodiments, the reinforcement material can include at least one of a plurality of fibers or a plurality of beads.

The present invention is related to the use of colored effect pigments for enhancing the infrared absorption capacity of colored polymers and to a method for enhancing the infrared absorption capacity of colored polymers.

The present disclosure is directed to articles that include a cured coating that includes a matrix of crosslinked polymers and optionally a colorant (e.g., pigment particles or dye or both). The cured coating can include a matrix of crosslinked polymers. The cured coating is a product of crosslinking a coating composition comprising uncrosslinked polymers (e.g., a dispersion of uncrosslinked polymers in a carrier to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers), wherein the uncrosslinked polymers are crosslinked to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers. The matrix of crosslinked polymers can be elastomeric. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including these bladders, methods of forming these bladders, and methods of making articles including these bladders, where the bladders include the cured coating.

The present disclosure provides for articles formed of a filled polymeric resin material. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to polymeric resin materials that include a filler that includes of a mixture of cured rubber granules, foam granules, and/or textile fibers. The filler can be suspended in and/or encapsulated by the polymeric resin material. The polymeric resin material, the filler, or both can include waste or scrap material from manufacturing or from ground post-consumer waste.

A hybrid woven textile for reinforcing a polymer matrix of a composite material that includes inorganic fibers selected from glass fibers, basalt fibers, carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, quartz fibers and silica fibers, and natural organic fibers, characterized in that the inorganic fibers and the natural organic fibers are co-woven, co-braided or co-knitted with one another.

The number of composite material layers laminated to realize a preset thickness of a substrate, for example, a web portion of a panel structural body is referred to as a reference lamination number. Doubler layers that are the composite material layers added to the reference lamination number are laminated in at least a rib base bottom portion of the substrate. Reinforced fibers that includes basic layers and the doubler layers reach a tip portion of the rib. Filler layers that are composite material layers located only at a portion corresponding to a filler region may be laminated in the rib base bottom portion in addition to the doubler layers.

A method of: providing a polymeric material, and inducing optical or acoustic phonons into the material. The inducing is performed by application of an alternating electric field or a dynamic mechanical field. When the method is performed on a polyepoxy thermoset, this may result in a water absorption rate of no more than 0.1 wt. % per 24 hours.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene that may be useful as heat transfer compositions, aerosol propellants, foaming agents, blowing agents, solvents, cleaning agents, carrier fluids, displacement drying agents, buffing abrasion agents, polymerization media, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethane, gaseous dielectrics, extinguishing agents, and fire suppression agents in liquid or gaseous form. Additionally, the present disclosure relates to compositions comprising 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which may be useful in processes to produce 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.
