Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

Abstract: The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape includes a tissue support having a first face and a second face, a first pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the first face of the tissue support, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the second face of the tissue support. The first pressure-sensitive adhesive and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive are each crosslinked acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesives that are the same or different from each other, and the tissue support is impregnated by the first pressure-sensitive adhesive and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive. The article includes a first substrate and the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, in which the first pressure-sensitive adhesive is bonded to a surface of the first substrate.

Abstract: Sample partitioning devices and methods of making and using the same are described. A sample partitioning device includes a first film having an array of discrete stems each extending from a first major surface thereof, and a second film having an array of discrete wells formed into a second major surface thereof. The stems of the first film and the wells of the second film are mated with each other. The mated stems and wells are separable from each other, and during the removal of the stems from the wells, one or more voids are created inside the wells to suction an aqueous test sample into the wells.
