Abstract: A battery module includes a plurality of pouch-type battery cells respectively having an accommodation portion and a sealing portion and configured to be stacked on each other; a module case configured to accommodate the plurality of pouch-type battery cells in an inner space thereof; and a barrier member interposed between the accommodation portions of neighboring pouch-type battery cells and configured to have at least one side protrusively extending from a portion between the accommodation portions of the neighboring pouch-type battery cells to a portion between the sealing portions of the neighboring pouch-type battery cells.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a polarizing member disposed on the first surface of the display panel, a window member disposed on the polarizing member, and a first adhesive member disposed between the window member and the polarizing member and including an ultraviolet light absorber. A side surface of the display panel, a side surface of the polarizing member, and a side surface of the first adhesive member have a first surface roughness, an upper surface of the first adhesive member has a second surface roughness less than the first surface roughness, and the side surface of the display panel, the side surface of the polarizing member, and the side surface of the first adhesive member are aligned at a boundary.

Abstract: A tape cleaner is proposed. In the tape cleaner, the structure of the cleaner is simple, weight and volume thereof are minimized, the generation of noise is reduced during use, and the process of replacing an adhesive tape roll is performed rapidly and easily. The tape cleaner includes: an adhesive tape roll on which an adhesive tape is wound; a roll fitting part over which the adhesive tape roll is fitted; a handle part provided at a side of the roll fitting part; a roll-rotation guide part provided on the roll fitting part to guide rotational movement of the adhesive tape roll; and a noise reduction part provided in the roll fitting part to discharge and reduce noise generated during the rotational movement of the adhesive tape roll.

Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is a method of making an aerogel, comprising: (A) increasing a concentration of a suspension comprising a gel precursor under a condition that promotes formation of a gel, wherein the gel precursor comprises particulates having an asymmetric geometry; and (B) removing a liquid from the gel to form the aerogel, wherein the aerogel and the gel have substantially the same geometry. An aerogel comprising desirable properties are also provided.

Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is a method of making an aerogel, comprising: (A) subjecting a suspension or a solution comprising a concentration of at least one chemical reactant to at least one of a hydrothermal and a solvothermal process for at least a reaction time to form an in-situ hydrogel, wherein the hydrogel comprises particulates having an asymmetric geometry, and (B) removing a liquid from the hydrogel to form an aerogel.
