Some common flake-shaped LCMs consist of shredded cellophane and paper, mica (qv), rice hulls, cottonseed hulls, or laminated plastic. These materials He flat across the opening to be sealed or are wedged into an opening such as a fracture. Some are sufficiently strong to withstand considerable differential pressure, whereas others are weak and the seal may be broken easily. Weaker flake materials typically are used near the surface or in combination with fibrous or granular additives. 

Once dried, the treated paper or cloth is fairly stable and, stored in a cool place, it may be kept for several weeks or months before pressing into laminated plastic sheets. 

Fan blades can be made of aluminum, molded plastic, laminated plastic, carbon steel, stainless steel, and Monel. 

This includes wire enamels on a base of polyvinyl formal, polyurethane or epoxy resins as well as moulding powder plastics on phenol-formaldehyde and similar binders, with cellulose fillers, laminated plastics on paper and cotton cloth base, triacetate cellulose films, films and fibres of polyethylene terephthalate. 

There are now commercially available a large range of laminated plastics materials. Resins used include the phenolics, the aminoplastics, polyesters, epoxies, silicones and the furane resins, whilst reinforcements may be of paper, cotton fibre, other organic fibres, asbestos, carbon fibre or glass fibre. Of these the phenolics were the first to achieve commercial significance and they are still of considerable importance.

Internal fltlings snch as cupboards, drawers and shelves must be kept to a minimum. These may be made fiom stainless steel or a laminated plastic, which may be easily cleaned or disinfected bare wood is to be avoided, although painted or otherwise sealed woodwork m be satisfactory. Stainless steel trolleys can be used to transport eqiripmerrt and materials within the clean and aseptic areas but these must remain confined to then-respective units. Equipment should be so designed as to be easily cleaned and sterilized (or disinfected). 

HS-GC methods have equally been used for chromatographic analysis of residual volatile substances in PS [219]. In particular, various methods have been described for the determination of styrene monomer in PS by solution headspace analysis [204,220]. Residual styrene monomer in PS granules can be determined in about 100 min in DMF solution using n-butylbenzene as an internal standard for this monomer solid headspace sampling is considerably less suitable as over 20 h are required to reach equilibrium [204]. Shanks [221] has determined residual styrene and butadiene in polymers with an analytical sensitivity of 0.05 to 5 ppm by SHS analysis of polymer solutions. The method development for determination of residual styrene monomer in PS samples and of residual solvent (toluene) in a printed laminated plastic film by HS-GC was illustrated [207], Less volatile monomers such as styrene (b.p. 145 °C) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (b.p. 214 °C) may not be determined using headspace techniques with the same sensitivities realised for more volatile monomers. Steichen [216] has reported a 600-fold increase in headspace sensitivity for the analysis of residual 2-ethylhexyl acrylate by adding water to the solution in dimethylacetamide. 

Andrianov and Zhdanov have developed a method for the synthesis of polymers containing heterochain and carbon-chain units by free-radical copolymerization of metal-containing polyorganosiloxanes bearing a pendant vinyl group with vinyl monomers. The copolymers thus obtained display increased thermal stability and can be used for the production of laminated plastics, adhesives and other valuable materials 53),... 

OLED on an Al-PET substrate. The device performance does not deteriorate after repeated bending, suggesting that there is no significant stress-induced change in the characteristics of the OLEDs fabricated on PET foil [71,82]. The results demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating flexible displays using a variety of plastic substrates including metal-laminated plastic foils, or a metal film sandwiched between two plastic foils. The flexible device structures enable a display to conform, bend, or roll into any shape and thus make possible other product concepts. 

The conditions to be met in decorative printing are particularly demanding. Decorative papers for gravure and flexographic printing are used to produce laminated plastic sheets. Pigment selection is a matter not only of the type of resin (melamine or polyester), but also a function of the processing method. 

Various disazo condensation pigments are utilized in decorative printing on laminated plastic sheets. They are also applied in a number of special-purpose media outside the above-mentioned groups, such as oil colors for artists and crayons. 

The list of applications also includes decorative printing inks for melamine based laminated plastic sheets. It should be noted, however, that P.B.15 1 may not be used in decorative printing inks for polyester-based sheets, because the pigment... 

The list of applications also includes printing inks, in which P.Gr.36 is tinctori-ally weaker than its copper phthalocyanine counterparts. For comparison, 1/3 SD letterpress proof prints containing P.Gr.36, printed at standardized film thickness, require approximately 26% pigment, while only 17% of P.Gr.7 suffice for the same purpose. The fastness properties exhibited by P.Gr.36 in prints, as in paints, closely resemble those of P.Gr.7, including the phototropic behavior of decorative printing inks for melamine-based laminated plastics sheets. 

The list of applications also includes decorative printing inks for laminated plastic sheets based on melamine or polyester resin. The required fastness and performance properties are very good the pigment does not, for instance, color the clear sheets. 8% gravure prints (20 pm cell depth) equal step 8 on the Blue Scale for lightfastness.
