  • Patent number: 11945147
    Abstract: A vehicle interior and exterior member comprises a fiber molded body and a synthetic resin member fixed to a surface of the fiber molded body. The fiber molded body has a fiber layer including thermoplastic synthetic resin as a base material layer. The base material layer has fiber layer surfaces on its both surfaces or, the base material layer has another fiber layer including the other type of thermoplastic synthetic resin on one of the fiber layer surface to form a fiber laminated body. The fiber molded body is formed by molding the fiber laminated body into a three-dimensional face shape. The synthetic resin member has a fixed portion which is fixed to the fiber molded body by solidifying it in a state that molten synthetic resin has seeped into the fiber layer of the fiber laminated body.

  • Patent number: 11840484
    Abstract: Techniques of forming a foamed insulation material from gypsum waste are disclosed herein. One example technique includes mechanically comminuting the gypsum waste from an original size into particles of gypsum at a target size smaller than the original size and mixing the particles of the gypsum with a binder to form a mixture of particles and binder. The binder is configured to bind the particles of gypsum upon hydration. The example technique can further include performing air entrainment on the mixture until a foam is formed from the mixture having the particles of gypsum and binder. The foam has water that causes the binder to bind the particles of gypsum. The example technique can then include removing moisture from the mixture with the formed foam to form a foamed insulation material from the particles of gypsum.
