This method for manufacturing a light absorber includes: a first step for irradiating a resin substrate with ion beams; a second step for etching the irradiated resin substrate with an alkaline solution to form an uneven surface on the surface thereof; a third step for forming a transfer body which covers the uneven surface of the etched resin substrate; and a fourth step for peeling off the transfer body from the resin substrate to obtain a light absorber. A metal film, a photocurable resin, and a silicone rubber are disclosed as an example of the transfer body.

This patent application claims the use of directed energy in the form of electronically scanned ion beams to form plastic parts by selectively curing commodity or engineering resin in the shape of the part. Polymerization is limited to the vicinity of the controlled Bragg-peak of the ion beam (i.e., where linear energy transfer is maximized), if necessary, by the use of chemical polymerization inhibitors or conditions that inhibit polymerization.

The present disclosure is directed to a physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one foam polypropylene/polyethylene layer with a TPU cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam composition layer with at least one cap composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

There are provided a decorative sheet having excellent fingerprint resistance of the surface of the decorative sheet, a decorative board, a method for manufacturing a transfer master plate, and a method for manufacturing a decorative sheet. The decorative sheet includes: a base material layer; a colored pattern layer provided on one surface of the base material layer; and a first surface protective layer provided on the surface on the side opposite to the base material layer of the colored pattern layer and having irregular shapes on the surface. The decorative sheet is formed using a transfer master plate which is a resin material having irregular shapes for master plate on the surface formed by irradiating the surface of an applied ionizing radiation curable resin with a first ionizing radiation having energy capable of cleaving a polymer chain of the ionizing radiation curable to shrink the surface of the ionizing radiation curable resin, forming the irregular shapes for master plate on the surface of the ionizing radiation curable resin, irradiating the shrunk ionizing radiation curable resin with a second ionizing radiation curing the ionizing radiation curable resin to cure the ionizing radiation curable resin.

A polyolefin resin foam sheet includes a resin mixture as a base resin, the resin mixture including 0% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less of polyethylene resin, 30% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less of polypropylene resin, and 20% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less of a polyolefin elastomer, the polyolefin resin foam sheet fulfilling a range of −35% or more and 0% or less for dimensional changes in machine and transverse directions under heating for 10 minutes at a temperature 20° C. higher than a maximum melting point that is a highest melting peak in a differential scanning calorimetry.

A physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one polypropylene/polyethylene coextruded foam layer is obtained. The multilayer foam structure is obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

A method of manufacturing a polyolefin foam sheet composition includes extruding a polyolefin sheet, irradiating the extruded sheet to obtain a physically crosslinked sheet, foaming the physically crosslinked sheet with heat to obtain a foamed layer, and skiving the foamed layer to obtain a foam sheet with at least one skived surface. The surface roughness of the skived surface of the foam sheet is different from the surface roughness of an unskived surface.

Systems and methods wherein one or more processing operations on an identification document occur after a radiation curable material is applied to a surface of the identification document but before the radiation curable material is fully cured. The one or more processing operations can occur before any curing of the radiation curable material takes place. Alternatively, the one or more processing operations can occur after the radiation curable material has been partially cured, and before the radiation curable material is fully or completely cured.

The present disclosure is directed to a film formulation that resulted in a substantially non-migratory cold seal release film with improved blocking resistance. Specifically, the multilayered biaxially oriented polypropylene film can include a core layer of polypropylene homopolymer; a first outer layer on one side of the core layer that can be suitable for sealing, printing, or coating; and a second outer layer on the opposite side of the core layer that is a blocking resistant layer comprising thermoplastic polymers which reduce blocking tendency.

A polyolefin-based resin foamed sheet includes a polyolefin-based resin, wherein a thickness of the foamed sheet is 0.05-0.5 mm, a 25% compression hardness defined in JIS K6767(1999) is 20-100 kPa, a ratio of cell sizes in longitudinal and thickness directions is 9-30, a ratio of cell sizes in width and thickness directions is 9-30, and an average cell film thickness in the thickness direction of the foamed sheet is 2-7 μm.
