Porous, binderless ceramic surface modification materials are described, and applications of use thereof. The ceramic surface material is in the form of an interconnected network of porous ceramic material on a substrate. The ceramic material may include a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, and/or hydrates thereof, or a metal carbonate or metal phosphate, on a substrate surface. The substrate may be in the form of a metal or polymer particulate, powder, extrudate, or flakes.

A colored biaxially stretched polyester film for metal plate attachment and forming processing, includes three layers: opposite surface layers (layers A) that contain substantially no coloring pigment and are made of a copolyester having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.65 to 0.80 and a melting point (TmA) of 230 to 260 C.; and a core layer (layer B) that has a coloring pigment content of more than 10 wt % and 50 wt % or less and is made of a copolyester having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.55 to 0.70 and a melting point (TmB) of 230 to 260 C. The film has a surface roughness within a range of 10 to 40 nm, and (TmBTmA) is 4 C. or less.

Assemblies of stacked layers of materials are described. The assemblies include functional and structural layers. Functional layers include binderless ceramic materials on woven or non-woven substrates of natural, synthetic, or metallic materials. The layers of functional and structural materials may be configured to transport moisture or heat from an inner surface to an outer surface that is exposed to an ambient environment.

The present invention is to provide a full-frame adhesive anti-fog film structure, comprising: an anti-fog film, which has a front side and a back side opposing the front side; and an adhesive, which is disposed at an edge of the back side and arranged along the edge so as to be frame-shaped. The anti-fog film of the present invention is attachable to a planar, cylindrical or spherical lens through the full frame-shaped adhesive so that not only can the anti-fog film be fully attached to the lens but the full attachment of film also prevents bubbles from forming between the two attached surfaces. Also, an airtight space is formed between the full-frame adhesive anti-fog film structure and the lens to stop heat transfer and prevent fog from being formed, so as to not only provide good vision to users but also reduce the chance that the user will fall prey to an accident if the user's view is blocked.

An objective of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article with which, both when dry, prior to absorbing blood, and when wet, after absorbing blood, is provided with a fit in a wearer's excretory orifice, especially the labia minora, and which is not prone to leaking. Provided is an absorbent article, including a liquid-permeable top sheet, a non liquid-permeable back sheet, and an absorbent body between the liquid-permeable top sheet and the non liquid-permeable back sheet. The absorbent article further comprises a center high part which protrudes in the thickness direction of the absorbent article in an excretory orifice contact region. The center high part further includes a portion of the top sheet, and a cushion part which is positioned between the top sheet and the absorbent body. The center high part further includes a central part, and an outer circumference part which surrounds the central part. The density of the cushion part in the outer circumference part is greater than the density of the cushion part in the central part.

A splash resistant multi-layered structure is provided. The structure includes a specific arrangement of layers of material and a plurality of three-dimensional spacers that helps prevent penetration through the structure by a fluid that contacts an outer surface of the structure due to a state of forced separation that exists between two adjacent layers of the structure due to the presence of the plurality of three-dimensional spacers positioned between the layers. The plurality of three-dimensional spacers can be positioned on one of the adjacent layers of the structure such that a distance at least as large as the maximum height of the plurality of three-dimensional spacers separates the two layers from each other and can be present on a layer of material in a continuous or discontinuous pattern or can be present on a layer of material in a random fashion. The presence of the three-dimensional spacers can reduce the basis weight or eliminate one or more layers of the structure, which, in turn, can reduce thermal resistance, lower the pressure drop across the layers of the structure, and reduce the overall weight of the structure to enhance breathability and comfort.

A heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap includes an adhesive layer disposed on the inner surface thereof, the adhesive layer including a low-viscosity adhesive layer formed of a resin having a viscosity of 10 Pa.Math.s or less at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.1 at the heat shrinkage temperature and a viscosity of 100 Pa.Math.s or more at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.1 at the maximum continuous use temperature. The heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap is used for waterproofing an exposed portion of electrical wires of an electrical wire bundle such as a wire harness, in which merely by placing the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap over the exposed portion of electrical wires, waterproofing and water blocking between strands can be achieved, and outflow of the resin during heat shrinking does not occur. A method of waterproofing an electrical wire bundle uses the heat-shrinkable tube or heat-shrinkable cap.

The present invention is related to a flexible laminate for forming a reclosable packaging container comprising a built-in opening and reclose feature, said laminate comprising an inner structure and an outer structure, adhesively joined face-to-face, the outer structure forming the outer surface of the container and the inner structure forming the inner surface of the container, the outer structure comprising an outer flap portion delimited by a scoring line through the outer structure, and an inner structure comprising an inner flap portion delimited by a scoring line through the inner structure, the inner score line and the outer score line creating an opening into the container when the flap portions are peeled back, a marginal region of the outer flap portion extending beyond an edge of the inner flap portion and overlying an underlying surface of the inner structure, the inner and outer flap portions being joined in a second adhesive region and the first adhesive region being disposed between the marginal region of the outer flap portion and the underlying surface of the inner structure for attaching and re-attaching, in use, the outer flap portion to the underlying surface, wherein the bond/peel strength, measured according to ASTM F904-1998 (reapproved 2008), of the first adhesive is smaller than the bond/peel strength of the second adhesive, the first adhesive being permanently tacky and covering the entire surface of either the inner structure or the outer structure, said first adhesive being patterned covered by one or more crosslinker(s), transforming a part of the layer thickness of said first adhesive into the second adhesive and creating patterns of the first adhesive region and second adhesive region, said second adhesive of the second adhesive region having a higher degree of crosslinking than said first adhesive of the first adhesive region.
