Panel materials for vehicles and enclosures

A fiber reinforced polymer material having an improved combination of characteristics. The polymer material generally comprises a fiber reinforced polymer resin containing reinforcing fibers and having a porosity between about 0% to about 95% by volume of the polymer material. The fiber reinforced polymer material may form a panel or substrate material that helps resist impact and / or environmental loading. Typically, such a material includes a fiber reinforced thermoplastic or thermoset support layer that has a skin layer on one or both sides, which are joined to one another to form the substrate or panel material. The exterior skin layer typically includes a polymer resin that may also include a support structure, such as reinforcing fibers. The resulting material is typically lightweight and has a reduced basis weight, particularly as compared to current commercial products, in addition to a low thermal expansion such that it provides improved resistance to delamination, improved dimensional stability and flexibility, and decreased water absorption and retention.

Papermaking method using opacification aid, and paper product made thereby

A method for making an opacity relevant grade paper or paperboard product, such as a communication type paper used for printing and writing applications, utilizes an effective amount of quaternized alkanolamine fatty acid ester compounds as an opacification aid to control the optical properties of the paper or paperboard product as a wet-end additive to a papermaking operation. Using the quaternized alkanolamine fatty acid ester compound can improve the opacity of the paper or paperboard product, maintain the opacity of the paper while reducing the use of other opacification aids, such as inorganic fillers and / or pigments, and allow for a reduction in paper grammage without a compromise in opacity. The improvements in paper optical properties are achieved without adversely affecting other characteristics of the paper product such as bulk value, tensile strength, tear index, and the like.
