The gas barrier cover layer contains a silicon alkoxide or a hydrolysate thereof and a water-soluble polymer, and a content ratio a/b between a content of silicon atoms of the silicon alkoxide or a hydrolysate thereof (mass part a) and a content of the water-soluble polymer (mass part b) is 3/97 or more and 45/55 or less in mass ratio.

A packaged product has a product surrounded by a vacuum skin package. The vacuum skin package has a support member and an implosion-resistant thermoplastic top web. The top web conforms with both the upper surface of the product, and an uncovered portion of the upper surface of the support member. The thermoplastic top web comprises an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer in an amount of from 55 wt % to 85 wt %, based on total weight of top web, and/or a blend of ethylene/α-olefin copolymer and cyclic olefin copolymer. Also disclosed is a vacuum skin package containing the implosion-resistant top web.

The present disclosure is directed to a web control guide for an inflation and sealing assembly of a protective packaging formation device for inflating a web material into a chain of inflated cushions. The web control guide is positioned along a material path at a transverse spacing from a first compression element and constrains a first thickness of the material path measured normal to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the material path. The transverse spacing and constrained thickness dimension are sufficiently small to prevent transverse movement of the flexible material towards the first compression element to avoid excessive heating of the web material outside a sealing zone.

A battery pack and an electric vehicle are provided. The battery pack includes a battery sequence. The battery sequence includes multiple cells. A thickness of each cell extends along a first direction. The multiple cells are arranged in sequence along the first direction to form the battery sequence. At least one of the cells includes a metal shell and an electrode core packaged in the metal shell. An air pressure inside the metal shell is lower than an air pressure outside the metal shell. A gap is provided between at least two adjacent cells. A ratio of the gap to the thickness of the cell ranges from 0.001 to 0.15.
