Abstract: The present disclosure relates a method to adjust the amount of elongation required to effect a color change in a polymer stretch film. A first aspect of the invention is a method which method comprises selecting a polyolefin resin having a given density; admixing a given amount of the AIE mechanochromic dye into a melt of the polyolefin resin; making a film of a desired thickness from the polyolefin resin containing the mechanochromic dye; determining the level of elongation needed to effect a color change in the resulting film; and adjusting the density of the polyolefin resin to change the level of elongation needed to effect the color change to the desired level.
Abstract: A resin card medium which has a substrate having electronic components mounted thereon and has sophisticated flatness and smoothness realized without providing any layer having holes for absorbing thicknesses of the electronic components; and a method for manufacturing a resin card medium. A resin card medium laminated body before pressing is prepared by laminating, on a first plastic finishing sheet, a substrate having one electronic component or two or more electronic components installed on one side of the substrate, with the one side, on which the electronic component or electronic components are installed, facing upward, and laminating, on the substrate, mixed paper constituted of plastic fibers and plant fibers, and by subjecting the resin card medium laminated body to hot pressing at a temperature which is a softening point or more of the plastic fibers and less than a melting point of the plastic fibers.
Abstract: A footwear sole structure having a fluid-filled chamber including a tensile member is provided. The fluid-filled chamber includes a first barrier sheet, a second barrier sheet and the tensile member. The first barrier sheet is formed from a first thermoplastic material. The second barrier sheet is attached to the first barrier sheet and is formed from a second thermoplastic material. The first barrier sheet and the second barrier sheet cooperate to define an internal cavity. The tensile member is disposed within the internal cavity and is formed from a third thermoplastic material. A first weld attaches the first barrier sheet, the second barrier sheet, and the tensile member together by melding the first thermoplastic material of the first barrier sheet, the second thermoplastic material of second barrier sheet, and the third thermoplastic material of the tensile member.

Abstract: Container (3) for producing of a beverage capsule containing a beverage ingredient, consisting of a formed laminated structure comprising a cup portion (3) with a depth-to-width ratio of at least 0.3 and a peripheral flange (4); said laminated structure comprising an aluminium foil (9) as a middle layer and comprising on the inner side of the aluminium foil (9) a sealing layer (10, 16); wherein the laminated structure further comprises at least one outer polymer film (13) laminated on the outer side of the aluminium foil (9) using a laminating adhesive layer (15) and in that the outer polymer film (13) is printed at its inner surface and is made of semi-crystalline polymer.
Abstract: A sandwich cable fairing designed for attachment to cables that are towed at operational speeds by marine vessels. The sandwich cable fairing has a seven-layer design that combines layers of elastic, fiber reinforced, and adhesive materials. The fairing dampens the vibration resulting from the frequency of flapping caused by a cable being towed at operational speeds. The layering of materials allows the fairing to have the flexibility to be crushed by cable equipment while maintaining the requisite stiffness to reducing flapping and the resulting vibration.
