Abstract: Disclosed are a car interior sheet manufactured by using a defective product (defective hygiene product) among hygiene products such as tissues or diapers including wet-strength paper made of pulp including plastic or super absorbent polymer (SAP). The car interior sheet is manufactured by attaching surface layers such as a nonwoven fabric to both surfaces of a base layer thereof including 30-50 weight % of a pulverized material, 5-15 weight % of additives, and 30-50 weight % of thermoplastic resin. The car interior sheet represents a low manufacturing cost, and does not generate environmental hazardous materials. The car interior sheet represents superior impact resistance at high and low temperatures, has a superior moisture absorption rate due to the SAP, so that the car interior sheet is rapidly dried after the moisture has been absorbed.

Abstract: Disclosed are insulating electric conductors against partial discharge and a method for producing an insulation system having improved partial discharge resistance and such an insulation system. There is an erosion-inhibiting effect of adhesion promoters, such as organic silicon compounds, added to resin when admixing nano particulate fillers. Good results may be attributable to a type of particle wetting of the nano particles as a result of particle wetting with organosilanes. The admixture of adhesion promoters with the resin before the addition of the nano particulate filler provides considerable advantages.
