| 20160061375 | DUCT LINER - A duct liner arranged in a roll including an insulation layer having a first face surface and a second face surface that is opposed to and spaced apart from the first face surface and a fiberglass mat facing disposed on the first face surface, such that the majority of the first face surface is covered by the facing, wherein the fiberglass mat facing is not disposed on the second face surface, and wherein the duct liner is rolled such that the fiberglass mat and first face surface is radially outward of the second face surface. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160115302 | NEW SURFACE TREATMENT OF WHITE MINERAL MATERIALS FOR APPLICATION IN PLASTICS - The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising at least one polymeric resin and from 0.1 to 95 wt.-% of at least one surface reactive white mineral material, a process for preparing a surface reactive white mineral material, a surface reactive white mineral material obtainable by the process, a fibre and/or filament and/or film and/or thread and/or breathable film comprising the polymer composition and/or the surface reactive white mineral material, an article comprising the polymer composition and/or the surface reactive white mineral material and/or the fibre and/or filament and/or film and/or thread and/or breathable film as well as the use of a phosphoric acid ester blend for decreasing the hydrophilicity and/or moisture pick up susceptibility of the surface reactive white mineral material-containing particle surface. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160130731 | Porous Polyolefin Fibers - A polyolefin fiber that is formed by a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a polyolefin matrix polymer and nanoinclusion additive is provided. The nanoinclusion additive is dispersed within the continuous phase as discrete nano-scale phase domains. When drawn, the nano-scale phase domains are able to interact with the matrix in a unique manner to create a network of nanopores. | 05-12-2016 |
| 20160145784 | HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED CARBON NANOTUBE ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a nanostructured article. In an embodiment, the nanostructured article includes a first material made from a plurality of intermingled nanotubes placed on top of one another to form a continuous structure with sufficient structural integrity to be handled. The nanostructured article can also include a second material made from a plurality of nanotubes forming a layer situated on a surface of the first material. The second material, in an embodiment, has a nanotube density lower than the nanotube density of the first material. The nanostructured article further a layer of ordered pyrolytic carbon between the first material and the second material to enhance the bond and structural integrity between the first material and the second material, as well as enhancing the electrical and thermal conductivity between the first and second materials. A process for forming the nanostructured article is also provided. | 05-26-2016 |
