A fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 8 μm and about 20 μm. The glass microfibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 0.5 μm and about 3 μm. The glass microfibers may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers. The aerogel particles may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers and the glass microfibers. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles. The binder bonds the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together.

Provided are acoustic articles having a porous layer (102,104,106) placed in contact with a heterogeneous filler comprising porous carbon and having an average surface area of from 0.1 m.sup.2/g to 10,000 m.sup.2/g. The acoustic articles can have a flow resistance of from 10 MKS Rayls to 5000 MKS Rayls. Optionally, the porous layer includes a non-woven fibrous layer or a perforated film having a plurality of apertures with an average narrowest diameter of from 30 micrometers to 5000 micrometers. The heterogeneous filler can enhance low frequency performance without significantly compromising high frequency performance, thickness or weight.

Sterile container (1) comprising a container body (40) having inner surfaces (2, 4) delimiting a containment compartment (6), wherein at least part of said surfaces (2, 4) is made of a compound material comprising a thermoplastic polymer, a first zeolite and a second zeolite homogeneously dispersed in the thermoplastic polymer, each of said zeolites having a micrometric particle size distribution and delimiting reticular voids in which bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic metal ions releasable from said zeolite are housed. The first zeolite comprises silver and copper metal ions, the second zeolite comprises silver and zinc metal ions. The present invention further relates to a sterile product and a compound material.

A high barrier packaging film has an outer layer of a high molecular polymer or a spunbond nonwoven fabric comprising a high molecular polymer, a passive barrier layer of the same high molecular polymer with nanoparticles of bentonite clay dispersed therein, an active barrier layer of the same high molecular polymer with desiccant particles dispersed therein, and a lamination layer of the same high molecular polymer. The outer layer, passive barrier layer and active barrier layer are compound laminated with the lamination layer to form the high barrier packaging film. Because the layers are all formed of a same polymer, such as polyethylene, and because there are no metal components in the layers used to create the film, the high barrier packaging film is readily recyclable.

A preparation method of a hybrid composite pipe and applications thereof. By mixing and curing high polymers as a matrix with one or more types of porous lightweight aggregates or granules, the main body or structural layer of this composite pipe can combine with a variety of non-metal or metal materials as well as various types of metal or non-metal base pipes so as to prepare different hybrid composite pipes. The high polymers include the thermosetting high polymers and thermoplastic high polymers. The pipe can be prepared and molded by one or more processes of rolling, winding, pultrusion, centrifugal casting, extrusion, injection molding, resin transfer, and sandwiching. The pipe described herein can be applied to petroleum, natural gas, heat and gas supply, water supply and drainage, agricultural irrigation, mining, seawater desalination, electric power communication, municipal pipeline corridor and other purposes.
