A water-absorbent sheet structure (10) including a structure in which an absorbent layer (13) containing a water-absorbent resin (12) and an adhesive (11) is sandwiched with nonwoven fabrics from an upper side and a lower side of the absorbent layer, the water-absorbent sheet structure (10) comprising (1) an upper nonwoven fabric (14) which is a water-permeable nonwoven fabric having a water permeation rate of 10 s or less; and (2) a lower nonwoven fabric (15) which is a water-retaining nonwoven fabric having an amount of water absorbed of 250 g/m2 or more. The water-absorbent sheet structure (10) of the present invention is thin and is capable of sufficiently exhibiting water-absorbent capacities such as fast liquid permeability, a small amount of liquid re-wet, and a small amount of liquid leakage. Therefore, the water-absorbent sheet structure (10) according to the present invention is used for an absorbent material, whereby hygienic materials which are thin and have excellent body fittability can be provided. |

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a barrier film that maintains an oxygen barrier after being subjected to autoclaving conditions. The film comprises one EVOH layer positioned as a core layer, and one EVOH layer positioned directly adjacent to an outer layer comprising highly permeable material having a moisture vapor permeability greater than about 40 g-mil/100 in2-day-atm. During autoclaving, the barrier properties of the EVOH layer positioned adjacent to the outer layer allows improved recovery of oxygen barrier properties. In addition, during rewetting applications, the internal EVOH layer maintains the oxygen barrier. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the disclosed barrier film. |

A multi-layer assembly, such as a sound damping metal laminate used in the automotive industry, having first and second rigid layers and an adhesive layer in between. A retention feature in the form of a raised embossment may be formed in one or more of the rigid layers and may be located near a fastening hole, which accommodates a nut and bolt or some other type of fastening device. The retention feature may impart rigidity and improved stiffness to the multi-layer assembly in the area surrounding the fastening hole, and it may also create a space between the rigid layers that is generally devoid of adhesive from the adhesive layer. This, in turn, can improve the long term performance of the multi-layer assembly by addressing issues such as compression set, spring back and/or stress relaxation. Methods of manufacture and other embodiments are also provided, including ones that accommodate multiple fastening holes, have discontinuous retention features, and use welds in place of nuts and bolts, to name a few. |

A process for manufacturing a fiberglass planter having a metal finish on its exterior surface includes the step of inserting a flexible mold into a hard mold. The flexible mold has an outer surface that fits the inner surface of the hard mold, and the flexible mold has an inner surface which defines a cavity for forming a planter. A layer of a metal powder is applied onto the inner surface of the flexible mold. A layer of polyester resin is then applied onto the metal powder layer formed on the flexible mold inner surface. Next, a fiberglass planter is formed on the polyester resin layer by applying alternating layers of polyester resin and fiberglass cloth and ending with an innermost layer of polyester resin. The layer of metal powder, the layer of polyester resin on the metal powder layer, and the fiberglass planter comprise a metal coated fiberglass planter. The flexible mold and the metal coated fiberglass planter are then separated from the hard mold, and the flexible mold is separated from the metal coated fiberglass planter. |

A mulch barrier film having, for example, a methyl bromide permeability of less than about 15 g/m2-hr and machine direction Elmendorf tear strength of at least about 75 gf. The mulch barrier film is an extruded, cast, and preferably embossed, multilayer film having at least one polyolefin layer and at least one polyamide layer. The combination of the film structure and the casting process achieves a barrier film that has low permeability to volatile soil treatment chemicals, such as methyl bromide, and superior tear strength properties. |
