Abstract: A method of manufacturing a molded article, which comprises: (a) a step of manufacturing the molded article by use of a laminate that has a first layer comprising polypropylene, and a second layer comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polyamide, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

Abstract: A laminate which comprises a first resin layer and a second resin layer, and wherein: a resin constituting the first resin layer and a resin constituting the second resin layer are incompatible with each other, the first resin layer contains a polyolefin; the second resin layer contains a first thermoplastic resin and a second thermoplastic resin; and the first thermoplastic resin and the second thermoplastic resin are incompatible with each other, while having different solidification temperatures.

Abstract: A laminate including, in the following order: a first layer formed of polypropylene containing a smectic crystal; and a second layer formed of a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin and a metal foil powder, wherein the metal foil powder is a flattened piece having a laminate structure in which both surfaces of a metal thin film layer are each covered with a transparent thin film layer.

Abstract: A method of controlling a transverse shape of a strip rolled by a rolling mill having a plurality of shape correcting devices, the method including the steps of detecting a change in a strip rolling force, and a tension distribution of the rolled strip in the width direction. Based on the detected tension distribution, a strain distribution of the rolled strip is calculated, and the calculated strain distribution is used to calculate a shape parameter which represents a shape error of the rolled strip. Based on the detected change in the rolling force and the calculated shape parameter, disturbance values of the rolling mill which should be zeroed by the shape correcting devices are estimated so as to offset a delay in the detection of the tension distribution which is reflected on the shape parameter. The shape correcting devices are controlled according to the estimated disturbance values, without an influence of the delay in the detection of the tension distribution.
