One embodiment of the present specification provides a method for preparing a latex composition for dip-forming, the method including: (a) preparing a monomer mixture including a conjugated diene-based monomer, a farnesene monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer, and an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer; (b) adding an additive including an emulsifier and an inorganic solvent to the monomer mixture; and (c) polymerizing the monomer mixture to prepare a copolymer latex, wherein a weight ratio of the farnesene monomer to a total weight of the conjugated diene-based monomer and the farnesene monomer is 5 to 55%.

A system for enhancing sterility includes a first surgical glove including an upper glove portion and a lower glove portion. A surgical garment includes at least one surgical garment cuff and a sealing device including a first adhesive. The first adhesive of the sealing device is configured to be affixed between an inside surface of the lower portion of the first surgical glove and an outside surface of the at least one surgical garment cuff so as to provide a fluid seal between the first surgical glove and the at least one surgical garment cuff of the surgical garment.

Methods and systems of detection of presence in and delivery to location are provided. A method detects a presence of a mobile device within a perimeter of a geographic region. The method searches a database to determine whether the first mobile device is associated with any existing account. Responsive to determining that the mobile device is associated with a first account, the method searches the database to determine whether there is any pending task associated with the first account. Responsive to determining that there is a pending task associated with the first account, the method transmits a first message indicating the detection of presence of the mobile device associated with the first account. The method determines that the mobile device is at least approximately at a first location of a plurality of predefined locations within the perimeter. The method transmits information associated with the first location to the computing device.

The present invention provides a glove having a skin made from an aqueous urethane resin composition including an aqueous urethane resin (A), an aqueous medium (B), and a fluorine compound (C), in which the fluorine compound (C) is a fluorine compound (C-1) that is a polymer of a polymerizable monomer (c1-1) having a fluorinated alkyl group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms and a polymerizable monomer (c1-2) having a polyoxyethylene structure represented by general formula (2), or a fluorine compound (C-2) that is a polymer of a polymerizable monomer (c2-1) having a polymerizable unsaturated group at both ends of a poly(perfluoroalkylene ether) chain and a polymerizable monomer (c2-2) having a polyoxyalkylene structure represented by general formula (4).

An ambidextrous or hand-specific glove including a wrist region, a palm region, and a digit region. The glove may be fabricated of nitrile rubber that is free of or essentially free of zinc, sulfur and accelerators to reduce allergic reactions in populations required to frequently wear protective gloves. A band region that partially or fully encircles a user's finger knuckles may be provided for easier finger bending. Texturing may be provided on glove surfaces that are used to grip articles. The fingertip regions on the front surface of the index and middle finger regions may be un-textured or smooth to enable a user to take a patient's pulse. These fingertip regions may be of reduced or smaller diameter and circumference so as to pull the glove material tightly around the tips of the user's finger and thereby applying pressure thereto so that even a faint pulse in a patient may be detected.

Dipped formed latex articles with improved properties are formed from branched block copolymers, derived from alkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon1,3-diene monomer system, and branched polyisoprene homopolymers, derived from isoprene. The polymers are obtained by polymerization in the presence of an anionic initiator; at a temperature from 0? C. to 100? C.; followed by coupling with a multifunctional coupling agent of formula (R.sup.1O).sub.3SiYSi(OR.sup.2).sub.3, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl groups; and Y is a C.sub.2-C.sub.8 alkylene group. The polymers are obtained as rubber cements having high solids content and low zero shear viscosities. The rubber cements are valuable for making latices and latex articles such as dipped goods, e.g., condoms, gloves, etc., with improved properties.
