A method of forming a shaped foamed polymer article and articles obtained from said method.

A process of microcellular foam molding an article includes using a modifier to modify properties of amorphous PLA, pouring the modified amorphous PLA into a high pressure vessel, dissolving an SCF in the high pressure vessel to impregnate the modified amorphous PLA in the high pressure vessel which is configured to allow the SCF to effuse through, forming foamed pellets, conveying the foamed pellets to a mold in a second vessel filled with water or oil, heating the second vessel, and cooling the second vessel until a foamed article is finished in the mold.

Disclosed is a porous structure including water-soluble chitosan; and a carboxymethyl cellulose-based compound, wherein a weight ratio of the water-soluble chitosan and the carboxymethyl cellulose-based compound is from 65:35 to 25:75, and a process for preparing the same.

A foam molding article includes an outer-shell-configuring part, an insert that is at least partially embedded in the outer-shell-configuring part, and a fitting member. The outer-shell-configuring part includes a body side foam member. The body side foam member includes a foam and a missing part where a part of the foam is missing. The missing part is located in an intermediate part of the body side foam member, and the fitting member is mounted in the missing part.

The problem of the present invention is to offer a nonwoven fabric for reinforcing foam molded articles that enables cushion materials to be efficiently foam molded by improving adhesiveness of the reinforcing nonwoven fabric to a mold. The present invention is a nonwoven fabric for reinforcing foam molded articles, having a reinforcing nonwoven layer and at least one resin layer, wherein the reinforcing nonwoven layer and the at least one resin layer are laminated, the reinforcing nonwoven layer has a discontinuous part including a magnetic material, the at least one resin layer has a resin having softening point A of 20° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower, and the nonwoven fabric has an air permeability of 30 cc/cm.sup.2/sec or more and 300 cc/cm.sup.2/sec or less.

Disclosed herein are single-use integral indicators and methods and systems for employing the same. Such indicators and their uses are directed toward identifying and rendering inoperable single-procedure medical devices after their intended—and only—use.
