A method for making labels comprising providing a plastic substrate layer and a paper substrate layer. The paper substrate layer comprises a printed display information sheet, wherein the printed display information sheet comprises a plurality of display information tags arranged in an array. The plastic substrate layer is coupled to each of the rows of display information tags within a first portion of the display information tags to form a composite substrate row. A first line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more first spaced intervals, a length of the first spaced intervals being defined by a length of the display information tags. A second line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more second spaced intervals, a length of the second spaced intervals being defined by a height of the display information tags.

Described are flame resistant composite articles and methods for making and using. A flame resistant composite article is described comprising a facial layer, a meltable layer, a heat reactive material, and an inner layer that provide lightweight flame resistance and can accommodate printing and a large number of appearance options.

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.

A method for fixation, onto a layer comprising an amorphous carbon film and provided on a base material, of a layer comprising a material condensation-reacting with hydroxyl groups on a surface of the amorphous carbon film, whereby, in the layer comprising an amorphous carbon film and provided on the base material, the amorphous carbon film can have a holding power which is strong enough to fix the layer comprising a material condensation-reacting with a hydroxyl group on the surface of the amorphous carbon film and can have uniformity of the holding power. Si and O are added into the layer comprising an amorphous carbon film to thereby improve adhesion durability and binding uniformity of the layer comprising a material condensation-reacting with a hydroxyl group. Particularly, by using a fluorine-based silane coupling agent, it is possible to impart high functions such as water repellency/oil repellency, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, low friction properties and non-tackiness to the amorphous carbon film.

New temporary bonding methods and articles formed from those methods are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise coating a device or other ultrathin layer on a growth substrate with a rigid support layer and then bonding that stack to a carrier substrate. The growth substrate can then be removed and the ultrathin layer mounted on a final support. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of handling device layers during processing that must occur on both sides of the fragile layer without damaging it. This is accomplished via the sequential use of two carriers, one on each side of the device layer, bonded with different bonding compositions for selective debonding.

An article may include a first polymeric material layer having a surface. A first conductive trace may form at least a portion of the first layer surface. The article may further include a second polymeric material layer. The second layer may have a first surface, a portion of the second layer first surface being bonded to a portion of the first layer surface. The second layer may have a portion of a channel defined therein, the channel at least partially coinciding with a portion of the first conductive trace. The article may also include a first patch interposed between the first layer surface and the second layer first surface. The first patch may span the channel and cover a portion of the first conductive trace.
