An article comprising a flexible mesh layer pliable enough for being arranged in direct planar contact with a contoured surface, the mesh layer providing one or more attributes of adhering, sealing or reinforcing to a surface receiving the flexible mesh.

Non-continuous mesh structures

A method comprising providing a polymeric substrate having a melting point of from about 130&#xb0; C. to about 190&#xb0; C., and locating a material layer onto the substrate, wherein the material layer comprises one or more polymeric materials that liquefy upon exposure to temperatures of at least about 100&#xb0; C., to blend with a softened portion of the polymeric substrate. Upon exposure of one or more of the substrate and the material layer to a stimulus, the temperature is increased in a predetermined temperature zone of one or more of the substrate and material layer to cause blending of the one or more polymeric materials of the material layer with the softened portion of the polymeric substrate.

Heat bonding of low energy surface substrates

A weldable adhesive or sealant formulation comprising a plurality of discrete solid metallic portions within a material having a viscosity of greater than 10,000 Pa s in its green state and at room temperature.

Conductive nodes

A method for improving joint strength between a first and second member comprising the steps of: applying a sealant material including a matrix material at least partially encasing rigid components to the first and second members; joining the first and second members upon an application of force that is applied through the use of one or more fasteners; wherein a compressive force is applied to the exterior surface of both the first and second members by the one or more fasteners while the rigid components apply an internal tension force acting opposite of the compression force to the interior surface of both the first and second members proximate to the fastener to form a mechanical lock thereby reducing slippage and generally maintaining the joint in position.

Mechanical method for improving bond joint strength

There is disclosed a method and assembly for locating a material adjacent or with a structure of an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle. The assembly typically includes a first compartment, a second compartment and a mixing initiator.

Method and assembly for locating material within a structure

An expandable material and articles incorporating the same are disclosed. The material includes a polymeric admixture; a blowing agent; a curing agent; a tackifier; and optionally, a filler or fiber.

Expandable material

A magnetic composition is disclosed. The composition includes a polymeric mixture and a magnetic material.
