The present invention provides a scaffold for tissue regeneration and a method of manufacturing the same. The scaffold for tissue regeneration of the present invention includes grooves and ridges formed on one surface thereof, wherein the grooves or ridges have a plurality of nanopores formed thereon, thereby providing an environment suitable for attachment, differentiation, growth, and migration of cells. Therefore, the scaffold may be effectively used as a material for tissue regeneration.

The invention relates to a method for improving adhesion between a reinforcement element that comprises textile fibers or textile filaments and an elastomer matrix material, in particular uncured rubber, the reinforcement element being provided with a sol-gel coating and the sol-gel coated reinforcement element being exposed to the action of a plasma, in particular a low-pressure plasma.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hoisting rope, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of elongated composite members, which composite members are made of composite material comprising reinforcing fibers in polymer matrix; and arranging the composite members to form an elongated row of parallel composite members, which row has a longitudingal direction, a thickness direction and a width direction, and in which row the composite members are positioned side by side such that they are parallel to each other, and spaced apart from each other in width direction of the row; and directing plasma treatment on the outer surface of the composite members; and embedding the composite members in fluid polymer material; and solidifying the polymer material wherein the composite members are embedded. The invention relates also to a hoisting rope obtained with the method and an elevator comprising the hoisting rope.

A component for a vehicle is formed at least in part from a polymer material, a first fibrous filler material, and a coating material. The polymer material defines an outer surface of the component. The first fibrous filler material is intermixed with the polymer material and exposed on the outer surface of the component. At least one layer of the coating material is disposed on the outer surface of the component such that the at least one layer of coating material adheres to the first fibrous filler material.

The invention is a formed article including a gas barrier layer, the gas barrier layer including a surface layer part that is formed of a material that includes at least a carbon atom, an oxygen atom, and a silicon atom, the surface layer part having a carbon atom content rate of more than 0 and not more than 70%, an oxygen atom content rate of 10 to 70%, a nitrogen atom content rate of 0 to 35%, and a silicon atom content rate of 20 to 55%, based on a total content rate of carbon atoms, oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms, and silicon atoms; a method for producing the formed article; an electronic device member including the formed article; and an electronic device comprising the electronic device member. The formed article of the invention exhibits an excellent gas barrier capability, excellent transparency, and excellent bending resistance. The method for producing a formed article of the invention can efficiently, safely, and conveniently produce the formed article of the invention. The electronic device member of the invention may suitably be used for electronic devices such as displays and solar cells.
