The present disclosure relates to a multi-layer thermal insulation blanket, designed to protect the upper body, having as characteristics retaining the heat emitted by the patient and reusing it to keep the patient warm, namely to control or prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia during surgery proceedings in the operating room.

Deterioration of gas barrier properties due to sedimentation of aggregates in a coating liquid is decreased or minimized. A coating liquid for producing a gas barrier laminate contains a carboxy group-containing polymer, polyvalent metal-containing particles, a high molecular weight dispersant with an acidic group, and an organic solvent, and has a pH in a range of 4 to 6 at 25° C.

A display device which includes a display panel and a protection member above the display panel. The protection member may include an adhesive layer above the display panel, a first protection layer above the adhesive layer, and a second protection layer between the first protection layer and the adhesive layer. The first protection layer may have a first thickness and a first modulus, and the second protection layer may have a second thickness less than the first thickness and a second modulus less than the first modulus. The minimum value of the second thickness may be 20 μm, and the maximum value of the second thickness may satisfy Equation (1) below. The display device, which includes the protection member including the second protection layer satisfying Equation (1), may improve impact resistance and maintain reliability.

A recyclable, laminated polyolefin-based film structure comprises two or more film plies laminated to each other. Each of the laminated film plies comprises one or more polyolefin-based films. The film structure has an energy cured coating layer or a two-part coating layer disposed on the outermost outward facing surface of the film structure and a printed ink layer on an interior surface of one of the polyolefin-based polyolefin layers. In certain embodiments, the outermost surface of the laminated polyolefin-based film structure has a melting temperature which is at least 100 degrees Celsius, and more preferably 150 or 180 degrees Celsius, higher than a melting temperature of the innermost surface of the laminated polyolefin-based film structure.

A self-adherent wall decoration has a body and two adhesive strips. The body is flexible and has a wear layer, a vinyl print layer, a waterproof core layer, and an underlayment layer. The wear layer is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylate copolymer, dioctyl terephthalate, organotin thermal stabilizers, etc. The vinyl print layer is formed on the wear layer, and is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylate copolymer, etc. The waterproof core layer is formed on the vinyl print layer, and is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, etc. The underlayment layer is a poly(vinyl chloride) film, and is formed on the waterproof core layer. The two adhesive strips are adhered to a side of the underlayment layer of the body away from the waterproof core layer, wherein each one of the two adhesive strips is located near a respective one of two parallel sides of the body.

The present application discloses interlayers comprising novel polyesteramides comprising diols with tunable properties based on the monomers and monomer ratios used to prepare the polyesteramides and varying the reaction conditions. The interlayers have improved properties and can be used in many different applications.

A packaged product has a product surrounded by a vacuum skin package. The vacuum skin package has a support member and an implosion-resistant thermoplastic top web. The top web conforms with both the upper surface of the product, and an uncovered portion of the upper surface of the support member. The thermoplastic top web comprises an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer in an amount of from 55 wt % to 85 wt %, based on total weight of top web, and/or a blend of ethylene/α-olefin copolymer and cyclic olefin copolymer. Also disclosed is a vacuum skin package containing the implosion-resistant top web.

The present disclosure is directed to a web control guide for an inflation and sealing assembly of a protective packaging formation device for inflating a web material into a chain of inflated cushions. The web control guide is positioned along a material path at a transverse spacing from a first compression element and constrains a first thickness of the material path measured normal to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the material path. The transverse spacing and constrained thickness dimension are sufficiently small to prevent transverse movement of the flexible material towards the first compression element to avoid excessive heating of the web material outside a sealing zone.

A dental appliance for positioning a patient's teeth includes a removable orthodontic tooth positioning appliance having teeth receiving cavities shaped to directly receive at least some of the patient's teeth and apply a resilient positioning force to the patient's teeth. The appliance includes a hard polymer layer having a hard polymer layer elastic modulus disposed between a first soft polymer layer having a first soft polymer layer elastic modulus and a second soft polymer layer having a second soft polymer layer elastic modulus. The hard polymer layer elastic modulus is greater than each of the first soft polymer layer elastic modulus and the second soft polymer layer elastic modulus. At least one of the first soft polymer layer and the second soft polymer layer has a flexural modulus of greater than about 35,000 psi.

A method for preparing a thermoplastic polyurethane film having a large thickness and excellent durability, and a thermoplastic polyurethane film prepared thereby are provided.
