A structured tissue belt assembly including a supporting layer, a non-woven web contacting layer, and one or more laser welds that attach the bottom surface of the web contacting layer to the top surface of the supporting layer. The structured tissue belt assembly allows for air flow in x, y and z directions. In exemplary embodiments, the structured tissue belt assembly has an embedment distance between the supporting layer and the web contacting layer of 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm and a peel force between the web contacting layer and the supporting layer of at least 650 gf/inch.

A curable adhesive that is particularly well suited for use in an injection or compression molding operation. The adhesive is based on polymeric resins having carboxylic acid and acrylate ester functionality, such as grafted phenoxy resin, and further constituents such as organic carbonates, blocked isocyanates, catalysts, maleimide compounds, hydride sources, and a carrier fluid. The curable adhesives are particularly well suited for bonding liquid injectable substrates such as liquid silicone rubber, or polyamides to rigid substrates, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or glass.

The present invention provides a member for a wearable device, the member including a resin base material, an electronic component, and a protecting layer which protects the electronic component, wherein the protecting layer is a layer formed from a curable composition including a perfluoropolyether group-containing compound.

Member for an image forming apparatus having an outer layer that includes polyethylene glycol and a polyether ester amide having therein a structural unit of polyethylene glycol.

A fixing belt includes a base composed of a foamed resin layer which contains a flat-shaped heat transfer agent and whose thermal conductivity in a direction of the thickness of the belt is 0.5 W/(m.Math.K) or more.

The present disclosure relates to an intermediate transfer member for use in electrophotographic printing. The intermediate transfer member comprises a release layer comprising fluoropolymer particles dispersed in a silicone polymer matrix.

An object of the present invention is to provide a polyimide tube for a fixing belt, the polyimide tube having good toner fixability. A polyimide tube for a fixing belt of an image-forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a polyimide layer that contains a polyimide as a main component and a needle-like filler, the needle-like filler containing a carbon nanotube and needle-like titanium oxide. A product of a thermal diffusivity (m.sup.2/s) of the polyimide layer and a breaking elongation (%) of the polyimide layer in an axial direction is 3510.sup.7 or more. An orientation direction of the needle-like filler is preferably an axial direction or a circumferential direction.

An elastomer laminate comprises at least two adjacent layers, the first layer consisting of a composition based on 20 to 100 phr of at least one copolymer comprising ethylene units and units of a formula CH.sub.2?CRCH?CH.sub.2, the ethylene units in the copolymer representing more than 50 mol % of the monomer units, R representing a hydrocarbon chain having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, 0 to 80 phr of at least one diene elastomer having a weight content of diene units of greater than 50%, 10 to 100 phr of a plasticizing system comprising at least one plasticizing resin having a glass transition temperature above 20? C. and/or at least one plasticizer that is liquid at 23? C., a reinforcing filler, and a crosslinking system, and the second layer consisting of a composition based on a diene elastomer having a weight content of diene units of greater than 50% and a crosslinking system.
