A method to produce a panel. The method includes providing a core having a first surface, providing a surface layer including a substantially uncured amino resin, applying an hydrolysable adhesive on the first surface of the core and/or on a surface of the surface layer adapted to face the core, arranging the surface layer on the first surface of the core, pressing the surface layer to the core to form a panel by applying heat and pressure in a press, thereby adhering the surface layer to the core by the hydrolysable adhesive and curing the amino resin of the surface layer. Also such a panel.

A non-compliant medical balloon may be changed from a deflated state to an inflated state by increasing pressure within the balloon. The non-compliant medical balloon is composed of a woven fabric layer composed of at least two woven fabric fibers forming an angle. The angle remains substantially unchanged when the balloon changes from a deflated state to an inflated state.

In an illustrative implementation of this invention, a 3D object comprises substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material. The 3D object is fabricated by a method comprising the following steps: Position powder on all or part of a substrate layer. Repeat this step for the remaining substrate layers. Transform the powder into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material. The hardened material solidifies in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions in the substrate layers and does not infiltrate negative regions in the substrate layers.

A wound dressing having a thin barrier layer of soft, pliant adhesive material with a flexible cover layer extending along one side of the adhesive layer and a removable release sheet on the opposite side is disclosed. The adhesive material has a center and border surrounding the center such that the adhesive is contoured. A method for making the contoured dressing using a gear pump and a laminating roller having a predetermined softness and firmness is also disclosed.

Heat de-bondable optical articles include two optical substrates and a heat de-bondable adhesive article disposed between them. The adhesive article includes a heat-shrinkable substrate and an optically clear adhesive proximate to the heat-shrinkable substrate. Optical articles can be prepared by disposing the heat-shrinkable substrate and the optically clear adhesive between two optical substrates. The optically clear adhesive covers a majority of the surface area of the optical substrates, and the heat-shrinkable substrate is located near the edge of the optical substrates.

A tape applicator assembly for securing at least one cable within a corner defined by a first surface and a second surface that includes a body moveable along the at least one cable positioned on the first surface, a tape-receiving cavity defined in the body for receiving a tape assembly having tape, wherein the tape assembly is receivable within the tape-receiving cavity such that the tape is positioned for dispensing from the body, and a tape applying assembly defined within the body. The tape applying assembly is configured to adhere the tape to both the at least one cable and the first and second surfaces defining the corner as the body moves along the at least one cable on the first surface.

A method of manufacturing a stereoscopic image display device includes forming a groove by etching an edge portion of a rear surface of a lens array substrate, depositing a sticky material layer in the groove, disposed a transparent adhesive layer that differs from the sticky material layer onto a top surface of a display panel, aligning the lens array substrate and the display panel by using a camera, and joining the display panel and the lens array substrate by using the transparent adhesive layer.

The invention relates to a method of making an acoustic product and a novel acoustic product, wherein the acoustic product is made by adhering a facing to a first major surface of an acoustic insulation element by the use of an adhesive and curing the adhesive. The adhesive is an aqueous adhesive composition which comprises a component (i) in form of one or more oxidized lignins; a component (ii) in form of one or more cross-linkers; a component (iii) in form of one or more plasticizers.

An object of the present invention is to provide a glove in which a glove main body and a film are less likely to peel from each other even when a load, especially a torsional load, is applied. A glove according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a glove main body made of fibers; a film which covers at least a part of an outer face of the glove main body and contains a rubber or a resin as a principal component; and an adhesive portion which bonds the glove main body and the film together, wherein the adhesive portion includes: a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in contact with the film; and an adhesive layer which is in contact with the glove main body and is constituted by a hot-melt adhesive.

A fabric printable medium comprising a fabric base substrate, with an image-side and a back-side, having a water proofing treatment including a water-repellant agent applied thereto; an adhesion promoting layer, applied to the image-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising a polymeric compound and a physical networking component; an ink-receiving coating layer over the adhesion promoting layer, comprising a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network; and a barrier layer applied to the back-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising polymeric binders and filler particles with flame retardancy properties. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric print medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.
