    Abstract: A glass film laminate is manufactured by setting a surface roughness Ra of a surface of a glass film having a thickness of 200 ?m or less to contact a support glass, which supports the glass film, and a surface of the support glass to contact the glass film to 2.0 nm or less, and by bringing the surfaces of the glass film and the support glass into surface contact with each other. After that, a laser scribing operation is carried out, in which a scribe line is formed in the glass film by propagating an initial crack through laser heating of the glass film followed by subsequent cooling of the glass film.

  • Publication number: 20130273297
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to multiple-layer composites suitable for use as floor-coverings in the form of cut tiles or broadloom sheets, providing a durable and highly stable structure that can lay flat and remain flat with variations in temperature and humidity and provide a durable and yet soft textile face. The composite comprises a laterally-compressible fabric face bonded with an adhesive layer to a highly conformable stress-absorbing cushioning layer. The face fabric comprises closely packed looped yarns reciprocating between the top and the bottom of the fabric, protruding into the adhesive layer and emerging from the adhesive layer to the surface forming micro-spring structures. The weight, properties, density and level of penetration of adhesive are controlled to maintain lateral compressibility for the entire composite and avoid warping.

    Abstract: In a metal base substrate with a low-temperature sintering ceramic layer located on a copper substrate, bonding reliability is increased between the copper substrate and the low-temperature sintering ceramic layer. A raw laminated body is prepared by stacking, on a surface of a copper substrate, a low-temperature sintering ceramic green layer including a low-temperature sintering ceramic material containing about 10 mol % to about 40 mol % of barium in terms of BaO and about 40 mol % to about 80 mol % of silicon in terms of SiO2, and this raw laminated body is subjected to firing at a temperature at which the low-temperature sintering ceramic green layer is sintered. In the thus obtained metal base substrate, a glass layer composed of Cu—Ba—Si based glass with a thickness of about 1 ?m to about 5 ?m is formed between the metal substrate and the low-temperature sintering ceramic layer.

    Abstract: Example flexible wall panels (e.g., demising walls) comprising a flexible, thermally insulated multilayer panel with a flammable core has a surprisingly low flame-spread index and smoke-developed index due to the flammable core being sandwiched between two fire resistant pads. The flammable core's high thermal resistance (high R-value) provides most of the panel's thermal insulation while a peripheral compressed region and the fire resistant pads help keep the flammable core from burning. In some examples, the materials and thicknesses of the panel's core, fire resistant pads and surrounding outer skin are such that the panel is of sufficient flexibility to be folded onto itself without experiencing appreciable permanent damage.

  • Publication number: 20130183505
    Abstract: An engineered composite building material, such as fiber cement, having one or more engineered sub-surface regions designed to provide the building material with improved moisture ingress resistance, paint adhesion, and other mechanical properties is provided. The sub-surface region has a cement-polymer matrix formed by introducing an impregnating agent into the pores of the substrate. The composite building material may be formed by applying impregnating agents to the subsurface regions of the substrate to form chemical and/or mechanical bonds with the matrix of the building material, the reinforcement fibers, and/or the surface coatings applied to the material. The thickness of the sub-surface regions may be controlled by varying the viscosity and porosity of the building material substrate. The cement-polymer building material has enhanced durability, weather resistance, strength, and stiffness.
