To provide a flexible conductive base member and a multilayer conductive base member including the same, having no problem of failing to function as a contact and causing a variation in height between contacts.

There are a covered region 10 covered with a noble metal and a non-covered region 20 not circumferentially covered with a noble metal on a surface of a reticulated fibrous body 50. The covered region 10 is located at an intersection 7 of fibers 5 of the reticulated fibrous body 50, and the intersections 7 are connected to each other. The non-covered region 20 is located between the intersections 7 of the fibers 5 of the reticulated fibrous body 50.

A method for preparing a cosmetic component is provided which includes applying a layer of a dry cosmetic ingredient between a pair of fibrous sheets obtained by electrospinning one or more polymeric materials at least one of which is capable of cold flow under pressure. Sufficient pressure is then applied to the layers of fibrous sheets to cause cold flow of at least some of the polymeric material such that at least parts of the fibrous sheets bond with each other and entrap the cosmetic ingredient in position between them and prevent it from migrating between the sheets during further processing or handling.

The present invention relates to an adhesive silicone patch to be applied to a wearable product. The adhesive silicone patch provides the function of assisting the musculoskeletal system and ligaments for each part of the human body, the function of preventing secondary damage, the function of supporting the injured part, and the function of promoting blood circulation. In addition, the adhesive silicone patch dramatically reduces the concentration of lactic acid generated during exercise. The present invention also relates to a wearable product provided with the adhesive silicone patch. The adhesive silicone patch is applied to the inner surface of a wearable product such as clothing and includes a first functional layer. The first functional layer includes a two-component liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The LSR is composed of a main component and a crosslinking agent. The PSA is included in an amount of 50 to 200 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the LSR.

Waterproof composite fabrics comprising a textile layer and a continuous polymer layer that comprises adjoining first and second regions with different physical or visual properties, and knife-over-roll coating methods for 5 manufacturing said composite fabrics. The waterproof composite fabrics described are particularly suitable for covering medical support surfaces, for instance mattresses.

The present invention generally relates to methods of printing articles using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques, and to articles formed from such techniques, including the printing of articles of footwear containing particles. Certain embodiments are generally directed to composites comprising particles (e.g., reinforcing particles), for example, rubber particles. The particles may be used, for example, to increase slip or abrasion resistance. The composites may also contain polyurethanes or other compounds, e.g., to facilitate fabrication, e.g., using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques. Other embodiments are directed to methods of making or using such articles. For example, in some embodiments, a composite may be prepared by mixing particles (e.g., reinforcing particles) with at least a first fluid and a second fluid within a nozzle, such as a microfluidic printing nozzle, which may be used to direct the resulting product onto a substrate.

An article for cleaning or hand-washing an object includes a core substrate comprising a plurality of fibers including a resin. The core substrate has one or more abrasive surfaces and contains an active cleaning formulation. The resin and the core substrate are water-dispersible upon contact with water at a low temperature, such as 40° C. or below, and water-soluble upon contact with water at a higher temperature. Also disclosed are methods for making the article.

The present invention relates to textile articles and clothing such as outdoor garments, indoor garments, and commercial protective wear exposed to contact mixtures of water and oil, swimwear and winter wear exposed to mixtures of water and air. At least part of these textile articles possess a surface provided with at least one of 1) a high surface area, 2) hierarchical pattern, 3) contact angles such that hydrophilic portion of a contact mixture possesses a high contact angle and the hydrophobic portion of a contact mixture possesses a low contact angle, and 4) hysteresis angle greater than 5 degrees. Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic contact mixtures of the present invention can be surfaces where water and or ice are present in combination with oil and or air. The textile articles of the present invention resist slippage on surfaces possessing hydrophobic/hydrophilic contact mixtures.
