A skin patch for the UV protection is contemplated as being formed from a vulcanized silicone substrate, an adhesive gel coating adhered to the internal surface of the silicone substrate, and a release liner removably attached to the adhesive gel coating, wherein following removal of the release liner from the adhesive gel coating, the coating is operative to enable adherence of the skin patch to skin. The skin patch is further contemplated as being operative to at least partially absorb solar ultraviolet radiation via the vulcanized silicone substate or the adhesive coating additionally comprising at least one UV-blocking compound having an absorption peak in the ultraviolet spectrum.

A prepared mold tool having a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating on the mold surface of the mold tool or prepared prepreg having a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating on the surface of the thermoplastic fiber reinforced prepreg are described that enhance first ply laydown of thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite prepregs onto mold tools for prepreg forming or in situ tape placement. Resulting thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite parts from a thermoplastic fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material having structural reinforcement fibers with one or more high performance polymers, and a thermoplastic surface layer polymer coating which forms a polymer blend with the high performance polymers of the thermoplastic fiber reinforced composite material thereby imparting improved properties, and methods for making and using same, are provided herein.

Techniques are described for transferring nanofiber forests using transfer films that either lack a conventional adhesive at the substrate-nanofiber forest interface or that include a diffusion barrier that prevents diffusion of adhesive molecules (or other polymer molecules mobile at ambient temperatures) into the nanofiber forest. These techniques can be applied to single layer nanofiber forests or stacks of multiple nanofiber forest. By selecting the bond strength between the nanofiber forest and the transfer films, the nanofibers can be aligned in a common direction that includes, but is not limited to, perpendicular to a substrate or transfer film.

An applicator is provided for applying protective films to electronic device displays. The applicator includes a base, a screen protector, and a squeegee. The base includes a pocket for receiving an electronic device. The screen protector is affixed to the base so as to overlie an 5 electronic device. The screen protector preferably includes three layers including a protective film, cap sheet, and back liner. The squeegee is provided for removing the back liner and for simultaneously affixing the protective film to an electronic device.

A substrate, a mask, a display panel and a display device are provided. The substrate includes a base substrate and a color resistance layer on the base substrate. The substrate has a display area and a non-display area. The color resistance layer in the non-display area includes a weakening unit for weakening or disconnecting connection between the color resistance layer in the non-display area away from the display area and the color resistance layer in the display area. During the development and washing process of the substrate, even if the color resistance layer in the non-display area is peeled off, the color resistance layer in the display area will not be peeled off together, which helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the color resistance layer in the display area.

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 present invention includes a multi-layer film that may be applied to reflective surfaces in order to reduce fogging, wherein the multi-layer film also serves as a protective covering. In one embodiment, a multi-layer film that may be applied to a mirror or other reflective surface includes a first layer of PET (polyester), a second layer of PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) or thermally activated acrylic, a third layer of PET transparent substrate, a fourth layer of an anti-fog film, which is which is a chemical mixed coating and a fifth layer of PE (polyethylene) acrylic electrostatic protective film.

The invention relates to a method for producing a bobbin and a bobbin. The bobbin includes a plurality of windings of a continuous laminated sheet having at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and at least one layer of a first protective material. The at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and the at least one layer of a first protective material define an adhesion surface between them. The first protective material is selected from polypropylene, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyester, or paper.

Object of the present invention is a process for manufacturing a membrane adapted for coupling to a fabric or other supports that can be used in the field of the clothing or furnishing, and so-obtained product.

Among other things a method including releasing a discrete component from an interim handle and depositing a discrete component on a handle substrate, attaching the handle substrate to the discrete component, and removing the handle substrate from the discrete component.
