The invention relates to a method of manufacturing high durability timber product, the method comprising: a) selecting a durable substrate timber; b) selecting a veneer of high-performance timber; and c) gluing the veneer of high-performance timber to the face of the durable substrate 5 timber, wherein the resulting manufactured high durability timber product is suitable for long-term use in exterior applications at a lower cost than that of the same thickness timber product if made of high-performance timber alone.

An improved protected graphics assembly according to the invention comprises the following sequential layers: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one graphics layer; and at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials and has a gloss value of greater than 90 when tested according to ASTM D2457-03 at a 60-degree angle. The assembly is beneficially applied to a variety of articles and used in a variety of related methods. In an exemplary embodiment, a race car comprises a protected graphics assembly that comprises: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials; and at least one graphics layer substantially protected from exterior exposure by the polymer layer.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are presented for a wrapper for foodstuffs. An elastomeric layer is flexible and substantially planar. A metallic layer is malleable and substantially planar. An adhesive couples the metallic layer to at least a perimeter of the elastomeric layer so that the elastomeric layer, the metallic layer, and the adhesive comprise a food covering for a container and the metallic layer is configured to conform around an edge of the container.

The invention provides a sealant film that is less likely to adsorb components formed of various types of organic compounds, has excellent heat sealing characteristics at 140° C., while having low heat sealing strength at 100° C. and being less likely for heat sealing layers to adhere to each other even when the film is used as a packaging bag and the content thereof is warmed in boiling water. The sealant film has at least one heat sealing layer consisting of a polyester component, wherein a heat sealing strength of the heat sealing layer being heat sealed to another heat sealing layer at 100° C. and 0.2 MPa for 2 seconds is 0-5 N/15 mm and at 140° C. and 0.2 MPa for 2 seconds is 8-30 N/15 mm, and a film density including all layers is 1.20 or more and less than 1.39.

A method for manufacturing oil-in-water emulsions for parenteral administration as well as to the use of such emulsions in the treatment or prevention of malnutrition and/or a deficiency in essential fatty acids and/or EPA and DHA and or stroke, sepsis, Alzheimer's disease or cancer.

A method for producing an injection molded and anti-skid mat providing a lower mold half and an enclosing upper mold half, the mold halves defining therebetween an interior cavity which is a negative of the mat to be produced. A cavity defining surface is configured in the bottom mold half with locations for preplacement of a plurality of underside adhering portions. A flowable plasticized/rubberized material is communicated through a channel in at least one of the mold halves in order to fill the interior cavity, the material setting and cooling prior to removing the upper mold half and the formed mat.

In an aspect, a cap liner comprises a sintered fluoropolymer layer; and a backing layer; wherein the sintered fluoropolymer layer is in direct physical contact with the backing layer with no intervening layer located there between. In another aspect, a method of forming the cap liner of comprises plasma etching the sintered fluoropolymer layer to form a sintered plasma etched layer; and laminating the sintered plasma etched layer and the backing layer to form the cap liner.

An vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate, a second plate, and a support configured to maintain a vacuum space between the first and second plates. The support includes a support plate supported on an inner surface of one of the first plate and the second plate and a bar extending from the support plate. The bar contacts an inner surface of the other of the first plate and the second plate. The one end of the bar has a cross-section less than that of the other end of the bar.

A window module including a window, a first print layer, an ink layer, and a protective layer covering the ink layer. The protective layer includes a polymer resin polymerized from monomers including a first monomer which is an acrylic monomer substituted with a hydroxy group, a second monomer having an epoxy group, and at least one of a third monomer having a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or a fourth monomer which is an acrylic monomer having a substituted or unsubstituted bicyclic alkyl group, and thus, has excellent durability, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance.

Functionalized textile materials are provided. At least a portion of a textile surface in includes a ceramic material, such as a binderless porous structured ceramic, and optionally, one or more functional layer is applied, resulting in a textile material with one or more desirable functional properties, such as hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, flame retardancy, photocatalysis, anti-fouling, and/or deodorant properties.
