An intermediate transfer member (ITM) for use with a printing system, the ITM having (a) a support layer; and (b) a release layer having an ink reception surface and a second surface opposing the ink reception surface, the second surface attached to the support layer, the release layer formed of an addition-cured, hydrophobic silicone material, wherein the release surface of the release layer has relatively hydrophilic properties with respect to the addition-cured, hydrophobic silicone material.

The invention provides a process for manufacturing a dynamically warm-keeping garment with a one-way moisture transferring function. The warm-keeping garment is made of a one-way moisture transferring fabric that includes a surface layer, a warm-keeping layer and a lining layer or includes the surface layer, a first warm-keeping layer, an intermediate interlayer, a second warm-keeping layer and the lining layer. The above technical solution addresses the following problems of traditional warm-keeping cotton clothes and down jackets: temperature loss caused by unsmooth sweat discharge; complex and difficult processing due to underarm zippers for venlilation; static damage and possible explosion of washing machines by air pressure due to air tightness during washing.

A sheet expressing a good tactile sensation and a molded product thereof. By configuring a resin sheet including hairlike bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of an underlayer in which a continuous phase is formed without any structural boundary between the underlayer and the hairlike bodies, and the underlayer and the hairlike bodies have at least partially a crosslinked structure, a molded product expressing a good tactile sensation is obtained.
