Abstract:
The present application relates to optically active elements and the methods of making these elements. The optically active elements include multiple layers of optically active beads positioned adjacent to a core particle. The methods of making these optically active elements involve applying multiple layers of optically active beads around a core particle. At least some of the optically active elements exhibit increased durability and/or performance due to the inclusion of multiple layers of optically active beads.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods of embedding secondary particles onto the surface of a primary particle by means of a polymeric material and in particular to methods of making retroreflective elements.
Abstract:
The invention relates to retroreflective elements comprising a bonded resin core and microspheres at least partially embedded into the surface of the core.
