Abstract:
A method is provided for fabricating a construction (10) having a functional side (12). The method includes the steps of: supplying a flexible substrate (20); attaching one or more structures (30) to the substrate (20) on a surface or side thereof facing the functional side (12) of the construction (10); and forming one or more features, for example, such as fibrils (39), on at least one of the structures (30), wherein the features have at least one dimension which is at least one of micro-sized or nano-sized.
Abstract:
In producing an elastic glove made of rubber or resin and having an interior surface flocked with piles through a step for depositing the piles on a film of a latex composition formed on a surface of a mold conformal to a three-dimensional shape of the elastic glove, a water repellent/hydrophilic pile mixture containing water repellent piles in a proportion of 10 to 80 mass % is used as the piles to uniformize a pile embedded state in a rubber or resin film defining the interior surface over the substantially entire surface of the elastic glove.
Abstract:
A method of imparting enduring beneficial features to a hard flocked surface of an article is provided. The method includes encapsulating a desired beneficial agent as a core material in a polymeric microcapsule, and transferring polymeric microcapsule to the surface by a dipping, spraying, or padding application. The beneficial agent, after getting transferred to the surface of a hard flocked article, imparts long lasting performance, provides fragrance and may protect an article from odor, insect, pest, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and the like. The polymeric microcapsules deliver long lasting benefits to surfaces with flocking, such as clothes hangers. Also described is a process for manufacture of flocked items with benefit delivering polymer microcapsules, without the need for binders or adhesives. Benefit agents are released with shear force on the flocked surface, so they are released when used and provide long-lasting performance.
Abstract:
Application of a resin to a pool surface to provide a colored finish that is ultraviolet resistant. The resin may be a powder that can be melted at a fairly low temperature and applied to the pool surface. A first later of resin may be applied to an epoxy layer that is applied to the pool surface to provide better adhesion while the epoxy is still tacky (hot-flocking). The hot-flocking causes the resin and the epoxy to blend into a single layer. An additional layer of resin may be applied after the epoxy and the first layer of resin fully cured. After the second layer of resin has cured an additional layer may be applied to provide designs and/or markings. The designs/markings may be produced with tape and/or stencils and the next layer may be applied to the non-covered areas to provide the desired look.
Abstract:
To provide a high heat dissipation sheet that enables electrical insulation properties while also making possible a simple construction method.In the present invention, short fibers with electrical insulation properties and thermal conductive properties are electrostatically flocked at high density onto a substrate coated with adhesive, under conditions that allow for high density electrostatic flocking, the erect short fibers are adhered and fixed, binder resin is impregnated and is hardened, and subsequently one surface of the sheet is abraded so that the insulating and thermally conductive fibers penetrate and are arrayed at high density in the direction of the sheet thickness. As a result, a heat dissipation sheet is formed in which the fibers protrude from one surface while the opposite surface is made smooth so that heat from an exothermic material can be quickly absorbed by the opposite surface and quickly dissipated into the air by the fiber protrusion surface.
Abstract:
This application is directed to a device comprising a covering attached to the device. A process of making a device with a specific covering attached is also disclosed. The application further discloses a method for the treatment of perforations, fistulas, ruptures, dehiscence and aneurisms in luminal vessels and organs of a subject.
Abstract:
A process for forming a flocked article is provided that includes the steps of: (a) cutting a pre-formed or solid adhesive film into a desired shape; (b) removing a first portion of the cut pre-formed adhesive film from a second portion of the cut pre-formed adhesive film; and (c) heating and applying pressure to the cut pre-formed adhesive film to adhere the film to flock to form a flocked article.
Abstract:
A method of decorating a molded article is provided that includes the steps of: (a) providing a mold insert comprising a plurality of flock fibers and a permanent adhesive layer; (b) positioning the mold insert in a mold; and (c) introducing resin into the mold, such that a resin contacts the mold insert to form a molded article. The melting point of the permanent adhesive layer is preferably greater than a temperature of the resin during molding.
Abstract:
A design and process are provided in which a fully activated thermosetting adhesive layer and multi-layered thermoplastic adhesive are positioned between a flock layer and a substrate.
