TL;DR: A high friction, non-slip, flexible and heat resistant plastic net (10) which can be used in various applications, for example, as a truck bed liner is presented in this paper.
Abstract: A high friction, non-slip, flexible and heat resistant plastic net (10) which can be used in various applications, for example, as a truck bed liner. The net is a blend of plastics having different densities and peak melting points. The first component of the blend is preferably a very-low-density to high-density polyethylene or a metallocene polyethylene. The second component of the blend is preferably an ultra-low-density polyethylene plastomer.

TL;DR: A flexible sheet of material with a strong elastic memory is used in the surgical treatment of hernias as mentioned in this paper, which is made of openwork knitted material, impregnated with a small amt. of elastomer or plastomer.
Abstract: A flexible sheet of material with a strong elastic memory is used in the surgical treatment of hernias. The sheet is made of openwork knitted material, impregnated with a small amt. of elastomer or plastomer. Pref. the sheet is made from loosely knitted, woven or braided filaments of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene or PTFE, of less than 0.1 mm dia. with openings of 1-4 mm, pref. 2 mm between them. Monofilaments or multifilaments can be used. They may be impregnated with an elastomer such as silicone or polyurethane or a plastomer such as polyamide, PVC, polyester, polyurethane or polyolefin at a rate of 15-60% by wt., pref. 37%. All materials used are biocompatible. The sheet may be flat or curved into a 3 dimensional or convex shape. It can be rolled up for insertion into the body into a cylinder or champagne cork shape.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of slip additive level, antiblock additive level and sealant layer thickness on the coefficient of friction, heat seal, hot tack, and optical properties of a coextruded blown film containing a polyolefin plastomer as the sealing layer were investigated.
Abstract: Research was conducted to determine the effects of slip additive level, antiblock additive level, and sealant layer thickness on the coefficient of friction, heat seal, hot tack, and optical properties of a coextruded blown film containing a polyolefin plastomer as the sealant layer. Mathematical modeling of the data was completed to determine the quantitative response of the various film properties to the control variables evaluated. Each film property responds differently to the control variables, so an optimum combination of film properties can be selected by appropriately selecting the optimum sealant layer thickness, slip additive level, and antiblock additive level.

TL;DR: The reinforcing element as discussed by the authors consists of a strip of a rigid material having a series of solid transverse sections separated by spaces and joined together by bridges at their edges, which can be folded to give a U-shaped cross-section before or after it has been coated with the elastomer or plastomer material.
Abstract: The reinforcing element, e.g. for a seal used in motor vehicle manufacture, consists of a strip (1) of a rigid material having a series of solid transverse sections (11) separated by spaces (10) and joined together by bridges (12) at their edges. The bridges lie along the lateral edges (1a) of the strip and are separated from one another transverse slits (13) which divide the lateral sections of the solid sections (11) into at least two portions (11a,11b), one of which (11a) is able to deform when the strip is stretched, being narrower than the other portion. The reinforcing element can be folded to give a U-shaped cross-section before or after it has been coated with the elastomer or plastomer material.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied polyolephonic plastomer or SBS elastomer as binders for fine-grained asphalt concrete and Stone Mastic Asphalt.
Abstract: Hot thin layers for wearing courses need special technical solutions to resist heavy traffic and thermal stresses. Polymer-bitumens are applied as binders usually. Tests were executed for fine graded asphalt concrete and Stone Mastic Asphalt. Binders were base bitumens of two penetration grades modified with polyolephonic plastomer or SBS elastomer. Mixtures were submitted to the following tests: Wheel Tracking Test LCPC (WTT) at 45 degrees C and stiffness modulus (Indirect Tensile Test in Nottingham Asphalt Tester) at -10, 0, 10, 20 degrees C. Considering both extremes, high and low temperatures, the best evaluation achieved soft bitumen highly modified with SBS. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 885061.
