A method for making an electroluminescent marking on an exterior wall of an aircraft, including a step of superpositioning of layers designed or configured to produce the electroluminescent marking on a first face of a flexible backing distinct from the aircraft to obtain a marking tape and a step of affixing the marking tape to the exterior wall of the aircraft. The disclosure herein also concerns a marking tape for the implementing of the method, a marking device obtained from the method, and an aircraft comprising the marking device.

A laminated stack, such as a trackpad, is assembled by coupling components using an adhesive system. Assembly of the laminated stack includes forming an adhesive-spacing component on a first substrate, forming an adhesive-alignment-holding component on the first substrate in a perimeter around the adhesive-spacing component, forming a bonding component by filling an area within the perimeter with liquid adhesive, and bonding the first substrate to a second substrate by curing the bonding component. The first substrate and the second substrate may each be one of a touch-sensing component and a cover component. The adhesive-spacing component maintains a space between the first substrate and the second substrate while the bonding component cures. The adhesive-alignment-holding component maintains alignment of the first substrate and the second substrate while the bonding component cures.

A vehicle interior part includes a substrate, a first outer layer, a second outer layer, an upper reinforcement layer, a lower reinforcement layer, and a bottom fabric layer, where a first surface and a second surface of the substrate are bonded to a first surface of the upper reinforcement layer and a first surface of the lower reinforcement layer, respectively, a second surface of the upper reinforcement layer is bonded to a first surface of the first outer layer, a second surface of the first outer layer is bonded to the second outer layer, and a second surface of the lower reinforcement layer is bonded to the bottom fabric layer.

The decorative panel includes a substrate and a top layer. The substrate has at least one of polyvinyl chloride layer. The top layer includes a decorative textile layer providing the surface of the decorative panel. The top layer is laminated onto the substrate by thermal bonding of the top layer onto the substrate; or by a polyvinyl chloride based adhesive layer. The substrate is provided at a first pair of opposite edges with coupling parts, substantially in the form of male coupling parts and female coupling parts, for coupling two such panels to each other at their first pair of opposite edges. The coupling parts are provided with locking means which effects a locking in coupled condition of two such panels in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the coupled panels and/or into the direction perpendicular to the respective edges in the plane of the panels.

The invention discloses a high performance plastic magnetic material, comprising a low surface energy layer, a magnetic layer and a printable layer, wherein the magnetic layer and the printable layer are arranged successively on a first side of the low surface energy layer; the low surface energy layer is an organic silicon pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The invention further discloses a preparation method, comprising the following steps: pretreating a magnetic powder with a coupling agent; mixing the pretreated magnetic powder with matrix components and auxiliaries to gain a mixture; extrusion compositing the gained mixture with a printable layer to gain composite paper having the printable layer and a magnetic layer; and applying a low surface energy layer on a side of the magnetic layer, opposite the printable layer. As no UV layer and no adhesive residue, the material of the invention is environmentally friendly and highly reliable.
