One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide components for an article of manufacture, having a film with an optical element that imparts a structural color to the component. The present disclosure also provide methods for making components with the films and optical element, and articles of manufacture including the component.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to components having an optical element that imparts structural color to the component or article. The present disclosure is also directed to articles of manufacture including the component having an optical element, and methods for making components and articles having an optical element that imparts structural color.

The present invention relates to electrically conductive nanocomposite particles comprising: a core consisting of a poly-C1-C6-alkyl-acrylate homopolymer or of a C1-C6 alkyl acrylate copolymer and an α,β-unsaturated amide comonomer, a shell comprising a conductive polymer and a nonionic surfactant. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such particles, as well as their use for producing a print on a stretchable support.

This invention relates to a method for hiding stains in medical dressings and other textile substrates. The method includes applying a metallic silver coating to a textile substrate via a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVP) process. The metallic silver coating effectively hides any stain that comes into direct contact with the treated substrate by transferring the liquid beneath the surface of the coating. The invention also relates to textile substrates containing metallic silver coatings.

The present disclosure pertains to a recycled polyurethane elastic fiber for which raw-material polyurethane elastic fiber is used as a raw material, wherein the recycled polyurethane elastic fiber is characterized in that the recycled polyurethane elastic fiber has a reduced viscosity of 1.00 or more, and the total amount of mineral oil and silicone oil remaining in the fiber interior after the recycled polyurethane elastic fiber has been rinsed with petroleum ether is 10 wt % or less with respect to the fiber weight after the rinsing. The present disclosure also pertains to: a method of producing the recycled polyurethane elastic fiber; a fiber structure containing said recycled polyurethane elastic fiber; a gather member; and a sanitary material.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide optical element transfer structures that include an optical element releasably coupled with a transfer medium and methods of making and using the optical element transfer structures. The optical element transfer structures can be used to dispose an optical element onto an article, whereby the optical element imparts a structural color to the article.
