Abstract: Products and methods aimed at ensuring that transported objects of cargo are held in place on the applicable transport vehicle during transport, enabled through the provision of friction surfaces based on styrene/acrylic copolymer compositions, which may be coated either directly on the surfaces of the applicable objects of cargo or the applicable transportation vehicle, or on one or both sides of sheets, e.g. in the form of paper- or cardboard-like material, resulting in high friction, anti-slip, anti-stick, scratch resistant, and heat resistant surfaces and/or friction sheets, enabling the reduction of shifting or slipping of objects of cargo during transport.

Abstract: The present invention relates to alternative methods of joining a solid part (1) and a polymer (2). The methods comprise attaching a primer layer (4) with a predetermined surface chemistry, density and thickness covalently to at least a part of a surface (3) of the solid part (1). Some embodiments of the invention further comprise polymerizing second molecules onto the primer layer (4) so that the surface (3) is at least partly covered with surface immobilized polymer brushes (8). The surface (3) of the solid part (1) is brought into contact with the polymer (2) and a predetermined temperature profile is applied resulting in covalent bonds (6) being established between the polymer (2) and the primer (4), and/or polymer brushes (8) melting or softening and entangling with melted or softened polymer (2) so that the solid part (1) and the polymer (2) remain joined after cooling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of joining a metal part 1 and a non-liquid polymer part 2. The first step of the method is to attach a primer 4 to a metal surface 3 of the metal part 1. The primer 4 is then polymerized so that the metal surface 3 is at least partly covered with surface immobilized polymer brushes 5. Then the metal surface 3 with the polymer brushes 5 is brought into contact with a polymer surface of the polymer part 2, so that an interface is obtained comprising the metal surface 3, the primer 4, the polymer brushes 5 and the polymer surface. Finally, the interface is heated by use of laser welding until the polymer brushes 5 and a part of the polymer part 2 melt or soften and mix to such an extent that the metal part 1 and the polymer part 2 remain joined after cooling. The welding may e.g. be performed so that so that welding seams are obtained along equidistant lines across the surface.
