The present invention discloses a polyimide-based composite carbon film with high thermal conductivity and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method includes: uniformly coating the surface of a polyimide-based carbon film with an aqueous graphene oxide solution, and then covering the same with another polyimide-based carbon film uniformly coated with an aqueous graphene oxide solution; repeating such operation; after the polyimide-based carbon films are dried, bonding the polyimide-based carbon films by means of graphene oxide so as to form a thick film; bonding the polyimide-based carbon films more tightly by means of further low-temperature hot pressing; and finally, obtaining a thick polyimide-based carbon film with high thermal conductivity by repairing defects by means of low-temperature heating pre-reduction and high-temperature and high-pressure thermal treatment. The thick polyimide-based carbon film with high thermal conductivity has a thickness greater than 100 μm and an in-plane thermal conductivity of even reaching 1700 W/mK or above.

Apparatus, compositions, and systems for ultraviolet (UV) heat-activated laminating adhesives applied via an inkjet printing process are disclosed. A system includes a first inkjet mechanism configured to deposit ink in a particular pattern onto a surface of a rigid medium. A second inkjet mechanism is configured to deposit a laminating adhesive onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. A pair of stainless steel plates is configured to receive an overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive deposited onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. The overlay film layer is positioned such that a surface of the overlay film layer faces the laminating adhesive. Pressure and heat are applied to the overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive to laminate the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium.

Disclosed herein are relates to a method for compressing a laminate and a method for manufacturing a ceramic electronic component including a laminate. The method for compressing a laminate includes: preparing a laminate; pressurizing the laminate from a first pressure to a second pressure; heating the laminate from a first temperature to a second temperature; maintaining compression of the laminate at the second pressure and the second temperature for a predetermined time; cooling the laminate from the second temperature to a third temperature; and depressurizing the laminate from the second pressure to a third pressure, wherein the second temperature is 70° C. to 150° C.

Methods of manufacturing a conveyor belt (126) include applying a rubber composition (114) to a first side of fabric reinforcement (112) and scattering productive thermoplastic elastomer pellets (106) onto a second side of the fabric reinforcement to produce an uncured belt structure (120). The uncured belt structure (120) is continuous fed into a double belt press (116) to press the productive thermoplastic elastomer pellets (106) together with the fabric reinforcement (112) to produce an uncured belt (128). Uncured belt (128) is then heated in the double belt press (116) to a temperature of at least 300° F. and maintained in the double belt press (116) under a pressure of at least 12 psi and a temperature of at least 300° C. for a residence time of at least 20 minutes to produce a cured conveyor belt (130), which is continuously withdrawn from the double belt press (116).

There is provided herein a curing agent compound for curing thermosetting resins, e.g., epoxy resins, a composition comprising a thermoplastic and/or thermosetting resin, e.g., an epoxy resin and the curing agent, an article comprising the curing agent, and a method of making the curing agent.

Methods of manufacturing a layered glass element and various components of a layered class element, such as a pre-form assembly and a woven panel, are disclosed herein. These methods include the step of supplying a woven panel having a plurality of elongated strands woven into an open weave to define a first porous surface opposite of a second porous surface. A layer of interlayer material is applied to the first and second porous surfaces to encapsulate at least a portion of the woven panel within the interlayer material. These elements may be placed between a first and second layer of glass materials. A degree of pressure and heat is then applied for a first period of cure time to bond the interlayer material and the woven panel into either a pre-form assembly or a layered glass element.

A cost-effective and resource-saving method for manufacturing a trim element, in particular a trim element which is used as a vehicle interior lining element. The trim element has a rear side reinforcement layer and a decorative surface. In the method according to the invention, a first layer is bonded in a first lamination step under pressure and heat to a first lamination and a second layer is bonded in a second lamination step under pressure and heat to a second lamination. The heat introduced in the second lamination step also acts in the first lamination and increases its bonding strength to the first layer.

A multilayer laminate panel comprising a first layer of a stone-based material and a second layer of a dissimilar material of lower density, which are interposed by one or more layers of resin-impregnated fibers, is provided. The dissimilar material comprises cork or a derivative of cork, and the thickness of the layer of stone-based material is from about 2 mm to about 50 mm. A process for the production of the panel is also provided. The panel finds use as a coating in a variety of interior and exterior applications. A panel comprising fixing means and a process for attaching the fixing means to the panel are also provided.
