Abstract: A nail for a nail setting tool comprises a predominantly lignocellulosic material. The nail has a nail shank, at the front end of which is provided a nail tip in the form of a conical round tip. At the rear end region is a head region. The tip angle of the nail tip is > 40°.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a composite fermentation substrate comprising a) Mixing of at least one thermoplastic with a starch containing, organic, granular or powdery, non-liquifiable growth medium; and b) Melt extruding the mixture obtained from a) into a desired shape. Furthermore, the invention relates to composite substrates produced according to the present method and a method for producing a microorganism, comprising (a) Providing a composite substrate according to the invention, (b) Inoculating the composite substrate with a microorganism to be cultivated; and (c) Incubating the composite substrate obtained from step (b) under controlled conditions.

Abstract: A strip of nails for a nail driver has a number of nails connected to one another in order to connect at least two components and each nail has a nail shaft and a nail tip. The nails are made of wood and/or wooden materials and/or bamboo or materials containing palm tissue with a density greater than 0.65 g/cm3 and are connected to severable connecting means which are automatically sheared off when a nail is driven in. The nail tip is a conical round tip. The ratio of the length of the tip of the nail to the smallest thickness of the nail shaft is between 1.5 and 3, in particular between 1.5 and 2.5, and preferably between 1.8 and 2.1.

Abstract: A process for the production of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compounds characterized in that fiber agglomerates and thermoplastic resins are compounded discontinuously with internal kneaders whereby fiber agglomerates are dispersed into single fibers and the single fibers are distributed homogeneously in the thermoplastic matrix.

Abstract: A high temperature resistant composite is disclosed that is made from modified ligno-cellulose and polymers, wherein the modified ligno-cellulose has a molar ratio of oxygen to carbon (O/C) from 0.3 to 0.6 and has a molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon (H/C) from 0.9 to 1.6 and the polymers belong to the group of thermoplastic polymers.

Abstract: A composite made of earth based bio-fibers and polymers is described, wherein the fibers and/or particles are taken from peats or lignite and the polymers are chosen from the group of thermoplastic polymers.
