Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a foamed item, including the following steps: a) heating a composition including, or consisting of, at least one polyamide PA, at least one compound U including at least one urethane function, particularly a polyurethane PU, at least one reinforcing filler, the content of which is no lower than 10 wt % of the total weight of the composition, and temperature T such that: the compound U directly or indirectly generates CO2, the polyamide is melted, and in particular, such that the composition is injectable; b) injecting or extruding said composition, the injection particularly being injection molding; and c) recovering the foamed item and an expandable granule including, or consisting of, at least one polyamide, at least one compound U, particularly a polyurethane PU, and at least one reinforcing filler, the content of reinforcing filler being no lower than 10 wt % of the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A phenolic compound for manufacturing a modified polyamide that has an increased degree of crystallinity is described. A polyamide composition comprising at least one such phenolic compound and optionally reinforcing fillers or extenders is also described. The composition is preferably a composition to be molded, for example in the form of granules or powder, that is used for the manufacture of articles by an injection-molding process.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes components and features for enabling enterprise users to securely access enterprise resources (documents, data, application servers, etc.) using their mobile devices. An enterprise can use some or all components of the system to, for example, securely but flexibly implement a BYOD (bring your own device) policy in which users can run both personal applications and secure enterprise applications on their mobile devices. The system may, for example, implement policies for controlling mobile device accesses to enterprise resources based on device attributes (e.g., what mobile applications are installed), user attributes (e.g., the user's position or department), behavioral attributes, and other criteria.

Abstract: Polyamide compositions and articles shaped therefrom have good dimensional stability and contain at least one novolac resin and nanometric flake structure filler material; the articles shaped therefrom, e.g., by injection molding, are useful in a various of applications, for example as engineering plastics.

Abstract: The disclosed USB device holder includes a USB unit, a main body made of cardboard and having a receiving portion for receiving and maintaining the USB unit.

Abstract: The use of a phenolic compound for producing a modified polyamide having enhanced mechanical properties is described. A polyamide composition including at least such phenolic compound and optionally reinforcing or filler loads is also described. The composition is preferably a composition for molding, for example in the form of granules or powder, that can be used for the production of articles by injection-molding.
