A process for the preparation of a laminate, particularly a waterproof moisture vapor permeable laminate, comprising a substrate having on a surface thereof a thermoplastic polymer resin coating and further comprising a peelable release layer in contact with the surface of said thermoplastic polymer resin remote from the substrate, and optionally further comprising a tie layer between the substrate and the thermoplastic polymer resin, said process comprising the steps of forming or providing a substrate layer and providing on a surface thereof a thermoplastic polymer resin coating and a peelable release layer and optionally providing a tie layer between the substrate and the thermoplastic polymer resin coating, characterized in that the thermoplastic polymer resin has a viscosity less than about 3000 Pa.s measured according to the standard ISO11443.
摘要:
Fiber-reinforced poly(ethylene terephthalate) sheet is laminated to a sheet of amorphous, adhesive copolyester at a temperature at which poly(ethylene terephthalate) is in a molten state. The resulting composite sheet is useful in making thermoformed articles in which one member is bonded to another member, for example, a face member and a backing member. The different members are arranged so that their copolyester layers face each other. Hollow thermoformed articles bonded with amorphous copolyester adhesive exhibit very good bond strength and minimum distortion.
摘要:
A vascular prosthesis is made by wetting a porous polyester fiber tubing with water until it gains close to maximum amount of weight, removing excess liquid from inside the tubing, repeatedly contacting the inside surface of the tubing with a solution of a biocompatible polymer in a water-immiscible solvent to adsorb some solution on the inside surface of the tubing, and removing excess solution, then removing solvent from the adsorbed solution to form a nonporous elastomer coating of the desired thickness on the inside surface of the tubing.
摘要:
A bicomponent film of a hydrophilic copolyester having a WVTR of at least 3500 gm.mil/m.sup.2 /24 hrs. of a poly(etherimide) ester elastomer containing about 25-60 weight percent ethylene oxide units, and a hydrophobic copolyester having a WVTR of 400-2500 gm.mil/m.sup.2 /24 hrs. of a poly(etherimide) ester elastomer or a segmented copolyester elastomer having no more than about 20 weight percent ethylene oxide units in the hydrophobic elastomers, the bicomponent film having a separation ratio for water vapor of at least 1.2 as determined by ASTM/E 96-66 (Procedure BW).
摘要:
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) compositions containing a small amount of a terpolymer of ethylene containing carboxyl groups, which may be partly or completely converted to a divalent metal salt form, and reinforced with a mineral material having an aspect ratio of at least 10 can be formed into sheets which are readily thermoformable at moderate pressures and have very good thermoforming radius ratios.
摘要:
Endovascular stents capable of being cut from a flat piece of material are described. The endovascular stents may be bioabsorbable, multilayered and may have structural configurations allowing them to maintain low profiles in vivo. Methods of manufacturing endovascular stents and methods of using endovascular stents are also described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing degradable, shrinkable films of polyhydroxy acid and plasticizers including melt processing the materials to obtain uniform composition, forming the composition into a film, and biaxially orienting the film. Also, non-shrinkable films are produced by heat-setting the biaxially oriented films at temperature above the composition glass transition temperature and below its melt temperature while maintaining the film under restraint. Films thus produced are useful for disposable, environmentally benign packaging and other conventional film uses.
