A composite article comprises a fluid transport layer having first and second surfaces and a hydrophobic layer applied to the first surface of the fluid transport layer. When the composite article is used as a wound dressing, the first surface of the fluid transport layer provides a skin-facing surface. The hydrophobic layer comprises a plurality of discontinuities, and at least a portion of the discontinuities have a dimension sufficient to permit the passage of fluid through the hydrophobic layer and into the fluid transport layer.

An epoxy resin composition comprises an epoxy resin, a plurality of particles, and a diluent. The particles can comprise a magnesium oxysulfate compound. The diluent can be selected from the group consisting of monoglycidyl compounds, diglycidyl compounds, bisphenol-A alkoxylates, and mixtures thereof. The epoxy resin composition can be reacted with an activator composition to produce an epoxy polymer. The activator composition can comprise one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of polyamine compounds, anhydride compounds, and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A fluid management cover system of launderable and durable character including at least one fluid transport layer with at least one absorptive reservoir layer disposed in underlying relation to the fluid transport layer. The upper surface of the absorptive reservoir layer is characterized by a greater capillarity than the adjacent surface of the fluid transport layer such that fluid is drawn away from the fluid transport layer and is held within the absorptive reservoir layer. At least one pressure distribution layer incorporating material that at least partially recovers following compression is disposed at a position below the absorptive reservoir layer. An optional skin contacting layer may be disposed above the fluid transport layer and an optional backing layer may be disposed in underlying relation to other layers.

This disclosure relates to a compression dressing designed to provide moisture transport properties to a contact surface and compression therapy for patients with swelling due to various medical conditions. The compression dressing is minimally comprised of at least one layer of moisture transport fabric comprised of elastic fiber that exhibits a sufficient amount of elasticity to apply a compressive force to a body part when applied thereto. The compression dressing further provides one-way, active fluid management which can move fluid away from the skin. The compression dressing may also include at least one absorptive reservoir layer that is applied to the outer surface of the moisture transport fabric. This absorptive reservoir layer may be removed as needed without substantially disrupting the compressive force applied to a body part. The method for using the compression dressing to manage fluid movement and edema is also provided.
摘要:
Infrared (IR) radiation absorbing compounds of metal or metalloids with ligands are beneficial for many applications. Schiff base biquinone (SBB) ligands surrounding a metal or metalloid center may be used for laser welding applications, as one example, wherein effective infared radiation absorption and heat resistance are required. These compounds may be known as Schiff base biquinone metal complexes (SBBC's). The compositions and methods of this invention provide examples of many different NIR absorbing compounds that exhibit high NIR absorbing strength, good thermal stability, and relatively low visible color. The IR absorbing compounds may employ one or more of the following elements: Si, Zr, Bi, Sb, Ce, Cs, K, Mo.

摘要:
Nucleating agent compounds are used in polymers, such as polypropylene, to improve both the properties and processing characteristics of the polymer. Some nucleating agents may be used also as clarifiers to reduce the visual haze in finished polymeric articles, thereby increasing clarity of finished polymeric articles. Compounds of a carboxylate salt which employ a combination of an amide group and a metal cation salt perform well as nucleating agents, and provide substantial clarity benefits in a polymer. Other compounds of the invention may employ metal carboxylate salts in combination with an ester group. In other embodiments of the invention a dimer of such compounds may be employed.
