Abstract:
A nanostructured article comprises a matrix and a nanoscale dispersed phase. The nanostructured article has a random nanostructured anisotropic surface.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an article having (a) a substrate having a first nanostructured surface that is antireflective when exposed to air and an opposing second surface; and (b) a conductor micropattern disposed on the first surface of the substrate, the conductor micropattern formed by a plurality of traces defining a plurality of open area cells. The micropattern has an open area fraction greater than 80% and a uniform distribution of trace orientation. The traces of the conductor micropattern have a specular reflectance in a direction orthogonal to and toward the first surface of the substrate of less than 50%. Each of the traces has a width from 0.5 to 10 micrometer. The articles are useful in devices such as displays, in particular, touch screen displays useful for mobile hand held devices, tablets and computers. They also find use in antennas and for EMI shields.
Abstract:
A method of making abrasive particles includes exposing ceramic particles to an organosilane-derived plasma formed from components comprising an organosilane and oxygen to form plasma-modified ceramic particles; and contacting a coupling agent with the second plasma-treated ceramic particle to provide the abrasive particle. Abrasive particles preparable by the method and abrasive particles containing them are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A “THREE IN ONE—HBC(HAND, BELLY, CHEST) PUTTER” is comprised of three putters that can be assembled from the individual parts in the putter package. A combination putter can be used in any of the three forms, hand, belly or chest for the next round of practice or golf. After each round of golf the golfer may change the configuration to any of the other putter forms for the next round of practice or golf.
Abstract:
A conformable barrier sheet comprising a polymeric film having a tensile elongation at least 2 fold greater than a polyethylene terephthalate film of equal dimensions and under an equal load; a planarization layer; and a plasma-deposited amorphous glass layer comprising silicon, carbon, and hydrogen; wherein the planarization layer is disposed on the polymeric film, the amorphous glass layer is deposited on the planarization layer, and wherein the barrier sheet is sufficiently conformable that after undergoing a tensile elongation within the range of more than 2% to 20%, the barrier sheet has a moisture vapor transmission rate essentially unchanged compared with prior to being elongated, a method of making the conformable barrier sheet, a transdermal device comprising the conformable barrier sheet, a method of delivering a drug to a mammal using the device, and a method of protecting an article using the conformable barrier sheet are provided.
