Abstract: A heating module for a water heater includes a heater and a housing mounted to the heater. The heater includes a conductive pipe and a heating film attached to the outside of the conductive pipe. A room is defined between the housing and the heater for transferring heat to the water. The heating module is located in the tank of the water heater. When water enters into the tank, the conductive pipe transfers thermal energy to the water flowing through the conductive pipe by way of thermal convention. The water in the tank is heated by the housing by way of thermal conduction. The temperature of the water in the tank is quickly increased by the two ways.

Abstract: Reactive extrusion can be used in a continuous, solvent-less preparation of imide oligomers involving two competing reactions among three ingredients, the first reaction between a dianhydride and a diamine and the second reaction between an endcap and the same diamine. The imide oligomer can form a composite via conventional production methods or via formation of a film from imide oligomer re-melted in an extruder before being impregnated into tape or fabric.

Abstract: A crosslinkable bioplasticizer is disclosed, a mixture of an epoxy-functional bio-derived plasticizer and an aromatic dianhydride. When heated, the mixture crosslinks, which can be accelerated by the addition of a Lewis Acid metal catalyst. The crosslinked bioplasticizer can be melt compounded into a thermoplastic resin or can be formed in situ in the thermoplastic resin. The crosslinking of the bioplasticizer can reduce blooming of the bioplasticizer to the surface of a plastic article made by extrusion, molding, calendering, or thermoforming techniques.

Abstract: A method of producing reduced graphene oxide includes the steps of selecting a substrate; forming a carbon layer on a top of the substrate through sputter deposition or vapor deposition; subjecting the substrate and the carbon layer to an oxidation process at the same time for the carbon layer to form a graphene oxide layer; and subjecting the substrate and the graphene oxide layer to a reduction process at the same time to form a reduced graphene oxide layer on the substrate. With the method, low-cost, high-quality and large-area reduced graphene oxide sheet can be directly produced on different types of substrate, including metal and non-metal substrates.

Abstract: An infrared surface light source generating device includes a substrate layer and a carbon material layer formed on a surface of the substrate layer and having a sheet resistance value ranged between 0.01 and 1000?/?.
