Provided is a method for making a composite structure with exposed conductive fibers. The exposed conductive fibers can be used for static dissipation. In the present method, a liquid, gum, gel, or impermeable film mask is applied to the conductive fiber material. The mask functions to prevent infiltration of curable liquid resin into the conductive fiber material. The masked conductive fiber material is incorporated into the composite structure, along with structural fiber material. The liquid resin is cured. The mask material and cured resin are removed from the masked areas, thereby exposing the conductive fiber material. The exposed conductive fiber material can collect and drain electrostatic charges. The present method can be used to make storage tanks and other objects that require electrostatic charge dissipation.

A toy container is for accommodating a toy and is made of paper containing a predetermined amount of pulp. Accordingly, the toy container can be an earth-environment friendly product as compared to conventional plastic products that are not naturally decomposable.

The present invention provide a liquid crystal module packaging bag, which includes: comprises a front unit (2) positionable on a front side of a liquid crystal module (10) and a rear unit (4) positionable on a rear side of the liquid crystal module (10). The front unit (2) has a thickness greater than a thickness of the rear unit (4). The liquid crystal module packaging bag of the present invention provides a thickened front unit positioned on the front side of the liquid crystal module to effectively protect the liquid crystal module and also to eliminate attaching of aesthetic-texture adhesive tape that is employed in a conventional packaging process, thereby effectively simplifying the packaging process, improving the packaging efficiency, and reducing the packaging cost.

Provided is a storage tank or structure with conductive fiber material (e.g. carbon fiber) for dissipating electrostatic charge. The tank comprises a tank wall made of composite material, such as polyester-fiberglass composite. On an inner tank surface, open areas are provided in which the conductive fiber is exposed. The conductive fiber material has broken fiber tips and stray fibers for collecting electrostatic charge. Outside the open areas, the conductive fiber material is covered with a layer of cured resin. The conductive fiber is exposed only in the open areas. An impermeable film may be present under the conductive fiber in the open areas. The present invention also includes a method for making the tank, in which a liquid, gel, or impermeable film mask is applied to the conductive fiber material. The mask functions to prevent infiltration of liquid resin into the conductive fiber material.

A composite thermoplastic liner for use as a moisture barrier comprises a hollow tubular body made from a woven composite thermoplastic material configured to substantially block the ingress of moisture; and an opening at one end of the hollow tubular body for intake into the hollow of the hollow tubular body. In one aspect a welded closed opposite end forms a base configured to substantially block the ingress of moisture external to the hollow tubular body. In another aspect the woven composite thermoplastic material comprises an electrically conductive additive. In another aspect there is a gusset in at least one side of the hollow tubular body. The hollow tubular body is able to be flattened with the respective gussets formed from folds of the hollow tubular body, such that in the flattened state the tube is more readily stored in a narrow form, but is expandable when the gusset is unfolded.

A method of reducing static charge of a plastic container is provided. The method includes providing a PECVD coating of SiCOH, SiO.sub.x or SiOH to an external support surface of the container. The PECVD coating reduces static charge of the container compared to a reference container that is essentially identical to the container except that the reference container is uncoated.

A pressure tank for storing high- and low-pressure fluids/gases includes a hollow body with at least one outlet having a surrounding contact area, a boss connected to the outlet, and a static eliminator wall disposed inside the hollow body. The boss has at least one aperture extending into the interior of the hollow body and is connected over its entire surface with a complementary contact area to the contact area of the outlet. The aperture has a diffuser disposed at a bottom end thereof. The diffuser is one of part of the boss, part of a neckring, and part of a coupling piece. The diffuser seals the aperture in an axial direction and has diffuser openings pointing primarily only in a radial direction. The static eliminator wall surrounds the diffusor and is one of part of the boss, part of the neckring, and part of the coupling piece.
