A packaging sheet is described. The sheet comprises a first rigid component, a second rigid component, and a multilayer film. Each of the first rigid component and the second rigid component comprises styrenic polymer, aromatic polyester, aliphatic polyester, polypropylene homopolymer, or blends thereof. The multilayer film is a blown, coextruded film positioned between the first rigid component and the second rigid component and comprises (a) an outer layer, (b) a barrier component, and (c) an inner layer, where the barrier component is positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. The first rigid component is coated on or laminated to a first surface of the multilayer film and the second rigid component is coated on or laminated to an opposing second surface of the multilayer film such that the sheet is not a fully coextruded sheet. Various embodiments of the sheet are also described.

The present invention relates to an improved formaldehyde-free coated fibrous substrate. The coating includes a crosslinked binder system which forms three dimensional networks when heat cured. After the coating is applied to the back of fibrous substrate and cured, the coating is capable of hygroscopic expansion which imparts excellent anti-sag properties. The coating is compatible with other coating systems with neutral or mild alkaline pH. The improvement being the binding system is neutralized with a volatile base so that it evaporates quickly so as not to hinder the cross-linking reaction.

Stronger elastic laminates having an improved microtextured appearance, as well as methods of preparing the laminates, are disclosed herein. Particularly, the present disclosure is directed to multilayered elastic laminates including at least one thermoplastic elastomeric film layer and at least one plastic layer coextruded together, stretched and then relaxed. The prepared laminates have enhanced overall strength and elasticity.

The present invention relates to a multilayer barrier film capable of encapsulating a moisture and/or oxygen sensitive electronic or optoelectronic device, the barrier film including at least one nanostructured layer including reactive nanoparticles capable of interacting with moisture and/or oxygen, the reactive nanoparticles being distributed within a polymeric binder, and at least one ultraviolet light neutralizing layer comprising a material capable of absorbing ultraviolet light, thereby limiting the transmission of ultraviolet light through the barrier film.

The invention relates to a gas barrier film laminate comprising at least two gas barrier films and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the at least two gas barrier films being stacked through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, at least one of the at least two gas barrier films including a base formed of a plastic film, and at least one gas barrier layer provided on the base, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer being a layer formed using a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that includes a rubber-based compound. The invention also relates to an electronic member comprising the gas barrier film laminate. The gas barrier film laminate exhibits a high water vapor barrier capability, and does not show interfacial lifting at the end thereof.

In accordance with the present invention, compositions are described which are useful, for example, for the preparation of metal-clad laminate structures, methods for the preparation thereof, and various uses therefor. Invention metal-clad laminate structures are useful, for example, in the multi-layer board (MLB) industry, in the preparation of burn-in test boards and high reliability boards, in applications where low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is beneficial, in the preparation of boards used in down-hole drilling, and the like.

An elastomeric body suitable for anti-vibration and suspension is disclosed. The elastic body includes at least one layer of an elastic and flexible fire retardant coating covering at least a portion of the body. The at least one layer of fire retardant coating is non-halogenated and includes a fire retardant substance and an elastic binder material. The fire retardant substance includes expandable graphite. The at least one layer of coating has an elasticity greater than 20%.

The present invention is a thermoplastic polymer composition which contains 10-120 parts by mass of a polar group-containing polypropylene resin (B) per 100 parts by mass of a thermoplastic elastomer (A) that is a block copolymer having a polymer block containing an aromatic vinyl compound unit and a polymer block composed of a conjugated diene unit having 40% by mole or more of 1,2-bonds and 3,4-bonds in total, or a hydrogenated product of the block copolymer (provided that a thermoplastic polymer composition containing 1 part by mass or more of a polyvinyl acetal resin is excluded). This thermoplastic polymer composition is able to be bonded with a ceramic, a metal or a synthetic resin without requiring a primer treatment, and has excellent flexibility, mechanical characteristics, moldability, heat resistance and storage stability.

To provide a multilayer structure that may adhere to rubber material without the necessity of providing an adhesive layer, an inner liner and a pneumatic tire using the multilayer structure. According to the present invention, a multilayer structure 1 is formed by alternately laminating elastomer layers 3 containing thermoplastic elastomer and barrier layers 2 containing a gas barrier resin, wherein an outermost layer 4 laminated uppermost among layers constituting the multilayer structure 1 contains an elastomer component that may heat-adhere to diene rubber.

An edge trim for pieces of furniture, including a meltable layer, is described. The molecular structure of the meltable layer contains both polar and non-polar parts. By way of a non-limiting example, an edge trim for pieces of furniture having an exposed edge of wooden or wood substitute material is described, comprising a molten layer and a structural layer, wherein the structural layer and the molten layer are connected in an adhesive bond, wherein the molten layer is made of a material that is chemically modified such that polar and non-polar components are found in a single molecular structure, wherein the molten layer contains energy absorbing additives, wherein the energy absorbing additives of the molten layer are selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal phosphates, metal salts of organic anions and combinations thereof.
