A further aspect concerns a building material, comprising one or more coated waste particles.

The present invention relates to a method of shaping a cured thermosetting resin substrate, and more particularly to a method of shaping a cured thermosetting resin using electromagnetic radiation, said method comprises providing a cured thermosetting resin substrate; providing a confined temperature controlling environment; placing the cured thermosetting resin substrate in the confined temperature controlling environment; providing a source of electromagnetic radiation; irradiating the cured thermosetting resin substrate in the confined temperature controlling environment; and shaping the irradiated thermosetting resin substrate.

Provided are a structure and a method of forming a structure that includes a core made, at least in part, of a rice hull composition. The rice hull composition including a combination of separate, unground rice hulls; ground rice hulls; and a rice hull powder, that each have a different particle size. A polymeric binder, such as a recycled plastic polymeric binder binds the separated unground rice hulls, the ground rice hulls and the rice hull powder together.

A three-dimensional (3D) printing composite build material composition includes a polymer particle and an inorganic particle. The polymer particle is an aliphatic polyamide. The inorganic particle has an average particle size ranging from about 1 m to about 100 m. A mass ratio of the polymer particle to the inorganic particle in the composite build material composition ranges from about 5:2 to about 1:3.

A vehicle seat frame includes a back panel and a load carrier component attached to the back panel. The back panel includes a first polymeric matrix and a first plurality of fibers disposed therein.

The present invention provides a method for preparing an artificial glass surface, which includes the following steps: step A: mixing a glass material and a silane coupling agent to obtain an initial glass material mixture. Step B: heating a silicone resin, mixing with the initial glass material mixture thoroughly to obtain a secondary glass material wrapper. Step C: adding an unsaturated polyester resin, a curing agent, a filler pigment, and a quartz material to obtain a glass surface premade material. Step D: pressing the glass surface premade material, curing to obtain the artificial glass surface. In this invention, the quality of the product is maintained at a high level, mineral resources are conserved, and production cost is lowered.
