Abstract:
A window assembly for a vehicle having an essentially chlorine-free modified polyolefin primer (24) disposed onto a transparent pane (12) and a two-shot encapsulant applied onto the primer is provided. The two-shot encapsulant includes a first encapsulation layer (22A) disposed on the primer (24) and a second encapsulation layer (22B) disposed on the first encapsulation layer (22A). The first encapsulation layer (22A) has a Shore D hardness of at least 39 and a Flexural modulus of at least 100 MPa, while the second encapsulation layer (22B) has a Shore A hardness of less than 90.
Abstract:
A lightweight composite material includes a substrate and a carbon fiber layer. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and is prepared by impregnating glass fibers with a resinous matrix which is formed by mixing hollow glass microspheres with a thermosettable resin material. The carbon fiber layer is bonded to one of the first and second surfaces of the substrate by thermosetting the thermosettable resin material.
Abstract:
Disclosed are thermoset/thermoplastic composites that include a thermoset component directly or indirectly bonded to a thermoplastic component via a crosslinked binding layer between the two. The crosslinked binding layer is bonded to the thermoplastic component via epoxy linkages and is either directly or indirectly bonded to the thermoset component via epoxy linkages. The composite can be a laminate and can provide a route for addition of a thermoplastic implant to a thermoset structure.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a fabrication method for fabricating an exterior member of an electronic device. The fabrication method may include a film disposing step of disposing a film on an exterior member in which one face is formed as a first curved face, and a lamination step of laminating the film on the exterior member. The fabrication method as described above may be variously implemented according to embodiments.

Abstract:
The present invention related to a process to improve the adhesion between a thermosetting laminate and a thermoplastic shell in making reinforced plastic laminates for sanitary fixtures, such as shower receptors, spas, bathtubs, sinks, lavatories and the like, and composites laminates for transportation, marine, and construction applications. The adhesion improvement is through a designed post-curing process of the cured composites laminates. The thermosetting resin used in the construction of composites laminate can be unsaturated polyester resin of any kind, vinyl ester resin, or combination of both.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a direct manufacturing process operable to fabricate three-dimensional physical objects. These three-dimensional physical objects have improved mechanical properties over existing direct manufactured objects. The direct manufacturing process includes an extrusion process, a polymer application process, and a solidification process. The extrusion process deposits a thermoplastic polymer in a series of sequential layers wherein the series of sequential layers are deposited in predetermined patterns. The polymer application process applies compatible polymer(s) after the deposition of each thermoplastic layer. The compatible polymer may be applied in a same or different predetermined pattern when compared to that of the previously deposited thermoplastic layer. The compatible polymer diffuses into voids within the thermoplastic layer. The object is solidified as a series of thermoplastic layers and compatible polymer(s) to produce a three-dimensional physical object that exhibits a combination of the mechanical properties of both the thermoplastic layers and compatible polymers.
