Abstract:
A compressed substrate having an altered upper surface is generally disclosed. The compressed substrate is configured to expand in the z-direction upon contact with a liquid to form an expanded substrate without substantially expanding in either the x-direction or the y-direction. The altered upper surface of the expanded substrate has an expanded surface area that is at least about 110% of the initial surface area of the compressed substrate. The compressed substrate is constructed from a compression molded web and includes an active agent. The compressed substrate can be included within the construction of an absorbent article to transfer the active agent to a wearer. The upper surface of a compressed substrate can be altered after formation of the compressed substrate. Alternatively, the upper surface of the compressed substrate can be altered during the compression process.

Abstract:
An auxetic fiber and corresponding material that not only responds to an external force, but also responds to moisture. The auxetic fiber is made in part from a moisture activated shrinking filament. Even if no external force is applied to the fiber, a pseudo tensile force is created by wetting the auxetic fiber.
Abstract:
A planar substrate has a moisture activated shrinking filament applied thereon. When wetted, the shrinking filament shrinks and causes the planar substrate to gather and pucker. The planar substrate with the filament thereon may be compressed into a compact shape when in a dry state.

Abstract:
Provided are a reflection sheet for a backlight unit including: a base sheet; and a flexible coating layer, formed on at least a surface of the base sheet, containing at least one flexible elastomeric bead selected from the group consisting of an elastomeric acrylic bead, an elastomeric nylon bead, and a microcapsule resin bead having a core charged with an air or an organic material, and a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display employing the reflection sheet. The reflection sheet may further include a metal reflection layer. The reflection sheet including the flexible coating layer exhibits excellent resistance to friction and impact. The reflection sheet including both the flexible coating layer and the metal reflection layer is excellent in specular reflectivity and brightness as well as in resistance to friction and impact. Therefore, the reflection sheet can be usefully applied to a light guide panel of a backlight unit having a weak surface hardness or requiring a surface protection due to a surface prism pattern.
