Abstract: A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure comprising supplying a stack comprising, stacked in a vertical direction, a support substrate, a sacrificial layer, a layer of interest having a sidewall and a tensor layer having a sidewall, the tensor layer having a residual stress. The method also comprises removing a removal portion of the sacrificial layer, while retaining a remaining portion of the sacrificial layer underlying the layer of interest. The removal portion is located in line with a lateral portion of the layer of interest extending from the entire sidewall of the layer of interest. The residual stress of the tensor layer is configured to cause bending of the layer of interest during the step of removing the removal portion.

Abstract: Poly(tetramethyl-p-silphenylenesiloxane) (PTMPS) membranes and porous articles made therefrom that have a matrix tensile strength in at least one direction from about 1 MPa to about 50 MPa, a matrix modulus greater than about 100 MPa in at least one direction, a porosity greater than about 30%, and a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils are provided. The PTMPS polymer forming the PTMPS membranes and porous articles has a crystallinity of at least about 70%, a polydispersity from 1 to 5, and a weight average molecular weight from about 350 kDa to about 5 MDa. The PTMPS membranes may be asymmetric, meaning that the observed pore structure on one side of the PTMPS membrane is different than the pore structure on the opposing side of the PTMPS membrane. Methods of forming porous PTMPS articles are provided. Dense PTMPS articles and methods of making the same are also provided.
Abstract: A fiberglass frame for a shipping container supports dunnage or other support members for separating parts. The fiberglass frame comprises four hollow vertical edge members made of fiberglass, each extending between corner assemblies. The fiberglass frame further comprises a roof and a base each made of hollow fiberglass members. Each hollow fiberglass member extends between two corner assemblies. The corner assemblies are also made of fiberglass. The inherent lack of electrical conductivity in the frame prevents sensitive parts shipped in the dunnage or other support members from being damaged or compromised.
