Abstract: A cooking backsplash assembly includes a pair of mounts that is each attachable to a vertical support surface at a location positioned over a cooking stove. A roller is positionable in the mounts when the mounts are mounted to the vertical support surface. The roller is biased to rotate in a first direction and the roller is urgeable to rotate in a second direction. A screen is wrapped around the roller when the roller rotates in the first direction. The screen is urgeable downwardly to urge the roller to rotate in the second direction to facilitate the screen to cover a wall located behind the cooking stove. The screen is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to protect the wall from cooking splatter. Additionally, the screen is comprised of a heat resistant material to resist being burned by heat from the cooking stove.

Abstract: The multilayer film serves as a laminate. The film is a multilayered structure that, in its base form, encompasses an intermediate layer with first and second outer layer affixed to opposing sides of the intermediate layer. The first outer layer is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer. The intermediate layer includes a polyester and the second outer layer is an olefinic polymer. The layers are bonded together in the noted order to provide the multilayer film.

Abstract: Composite articles having two interlocked different thermoplastic layers, and methods for making the same.

Abstract: A mechanical interlocking die has a first surface, a second surface, a plurality of extrusion features, and a plurality of channels. The first surface and the second surface each extend in a longitudinal direction. Each of the extrusion features includes a base portion extending in a cross-sectional plane from the first surface, wherein the cross-sectional plane is substantially normal to the longitudinal direction, and an arm portion extending at an angle in the cross-sectional plane from the base portion. Each channel extends at an angle to the longitudinal direction from the second surface, and is disposed between a pair of extrusion features.

Abstract: Composite articles have two polymeric layers of different compositions bonded together by adhesive and mechanical means.

Abstract: Composite articles having two different interlocked layers comprising thermoplastic, and methods for making the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polymer melt additive composition in the form of a powder for use as an additive in the melt processing of a host polymer, the polymer melt additive composition comprising particles of fibrillating polytetrafluoroethylene and an effective amount of a fluorothermoplast to prevent agglomeration of said particles of fibrillating polytetrafluoroethylene. It has been found that the polymer melt additive composition can improve the melt strength of a host polymer and is an easy to handle powder.
