    Abstract: A floating pond cover comprised of a plurality of convex spherical lenses of suitable polymer and uniform thickness arranged symmetrically at maximum packing density within a singular hexagonal floatation-cell-body (Cell), said Cell comprising one of a plurality of >10{circumflex over ( )}3 identical Cells, whereupon dispersed on totality of a Salt-Gradient-Solar-Pond (SGSP) or other pond-function/lagoon surface, providing coverage of >99%, forming a floating thermal insulation and evaporation barrier, whilst maximizing absorptance or reflectance of incident solar irradiance into/from the pond media. The plurality of hemispherical-surfaces of the lenses, being positioned uniformly within a hexagonal body are arranged, convex-side up, and extends upward from a horizontal x-y plane to a prescribed height above upper surface of said Cell, such that solar rays impinging on said plurality of lenses and floatation body are refracted through the transparent, opaque or translucent Cell-body into said pond media providing functions of evaporation control and insulation for (TES), electric power generation, desalinating saltwater, potable water storage, sewage waste ponds, and protecting wildlife from toxic chemicals utilized in metallurgy, or in oil and gas extraction.

    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a thermoplastic polyester elastomer resin composition suitable for foam molded product which exhibits light weight, excellent rebound resilience and excellent surface smoothness. The present invention provides a thermoplastic polyester elastomer resin composition for counter-pressure foam molding, containing a thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a thickener, wherein the thermoplastic polyester elastomer is prepared by bonding a hard segment and a soft segment, wherein the hard segment consists of polyester constituted from aromatic dicarboxylic acid and aliphatic and/or alicyclic diol as constituting components, wherein the soft segment is at least one member selected from a group consisting of aliphatic polyether, aliphatic polyester and aliphatic polycarbonate, wherein the thermoplastic polyester elastomer has a soft segment content of 25 to 90% by mass, and wherein a content of the thickener is 0.05 to 4.5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic polyester elastomer. The present invention also provides a foam molded product that includes a continuous phase formed of the thermoplastic polyester elastomer resin composition.

    Abstract: A polyamide resin composition is provided which can be blow molded while concurrently satisfying blow moldability and uniform wall thickness of the molten resin, exhibits excellent thermal stability when the resin composition is accumulated as a melt and thereby gives molded articles with a good surface appearance, and is further excellent in impact resistance at room and low temperatures. The polyamide resin composition includes, based on 100 mass % of the polyamide resin composition, 40 to 84 mass % of a polyamide resin (A), not less than 15 mass % of an olefin-based ionomer (B), 0 to 10 mass % of an impact modifier (C), and 0.1 to 3 mass % of heat resistant agents (D). The polyamide resin (A) includes at least one selected from the group consisting of aliphatic copolyamides (A-1) and aromatic copolyamides (A-2). The heat resistant agents (D) include two or more kinds of organic hindered phenol heat resistant agents (D-1).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interior automotive part prepared from a thermoplastic composition comprising:



    from 48-95 wt. % heterophasic propylene copolymer consists of i) a propylene-based matrix, and ii) a dispersed ethylene-α-olefin copolymer comprising ethylene and at least one C3 to C10 α-olefin;
    from 0-20 wt. % ethylene-α-olefin elastomer comprising ethylene and at least one C3 to C10 α-olefin;
    from 1 up to 30 wt. % high aspect ratio (HAR) talc as a filler;
    from 0-5 wt. % of another talc;
    from 0.05-1 wt. % phenolic antioxidant additive;




    from 0.05-1 wt. %, amphiphilic protective additive comprising a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part; and



    from 0-3 wt. % additional additives. It moreover relates to a method of producing these and to the use of such a composition for the manufacture of an interior automotive part in automotive applications.
