TL;DR: Pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprise one or more poly(alpha-olefin) homogolymers, copolymers and terpolymers derived from monomers containing 6 to 10 carbon atoms and photoactive crosslinking agents.
Abstract: Pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprise one or more poly(alpha-olefin) homogolymers, copolymers, terpolymers, and tetrapolymers derived from monomers containing 6 to 10 carbon atoms and photoactive crosslinking agents. Radiation curing provides adhesive films having a superior balance of peel and shear adhesive properties. The pressure sensitive adhesive is useful in pressure sensitive adhesive tapes, in articles containing transfer adhesive films, and ass the bonding material between supports in a laminated structure.

TL;DR: An electrostatic coating system for applying very thin coating to a substrate in air at atmospheric pressure comprises a plurality of spaced capillary needles positioned in at least two rows and fed with coating liquid via a manifold as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: An electrostatic coating system for applying very thin coating to a substrate in air at atmospheric pressure comprises a plurality of spaced capillary needles positioned in at least two rows and fed with coating liquid via a manifold. The needles are disposed concentric within holes in an extractor plate, a potential is developed between the capillary needles and the extractor plate affording a reduction of the liquid to a mist of highly charged droplets drawn to the substrate by a second electrical field. Insulative layers on the extractor plate provide increased droplet control.

TL;DR: In this article, a vapor-tight package has a deposit comprising nonmetallic, microwave-absorbing particles such as graphite dispersed in non-metallic binder, which can be positioned over an opening in the package, and the heat only needs to soften and weaken the deposit to vent the package.
Abstract: A vapor-tight package has a deposit comprising nonmetallic, microwave-absorbing particles such as graphite dispersed in nonmetallic binder. When heated in a microwave oven, heat built up in the particles may soften and weaken the underlying packaging material, thus venting the package. When the deposit itself is impervious to vapors, it can be positioned over an opening in the package, and the heat only needs to soften and weaken the deposit to vent the package.

TL;DR: In this article, the material-air boundary of the extruded thermoplastics is defined by a first plastic component and a second lower-melting component defining all or at least part of the boundary.
Abstract: Undrawn, tough, durably melt-bondable, macrodenier, thermoplastic, multicomponent filaments, such as sheath-core and side-by-side filaments, comprising a first plastic component and a second lower-melting component defining all or at least part of the material-air boundary of the filaments. The filaments can be made by melt-extruding thermoplastics to form hot filaments, cooling and solidifying the hot filaments, and recovering the solidified filaments without any substantial tension being placed thereon. Aggregations of the filaments can be made in the form of floor matting and abrasive articles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe transparent, non-vitreous, and zirconia-silica ceramic microspheres, useful as lens elements in retroreflective pavement markings.
Abstract: TRANSPARENT NON-VITREOUS ZIRCONIA MICROSPHERES Abstract of the Disclosure Solid, transparent, non-vitreous, zirconia and zirconia-silica ceramic microspheres, useful as lens elements in retroreflective pavement markings. The microspheres are characterized by: (a) containing at least one additive metal oxide selected from alumina, magnesia, yttria and mixtures thereof; (b) an index of refraction greater than 1.6; and (c) being virtually free of cracks. These microspheres are formed by a sol-gel technique of extractive gelation (extracting carboxylic acid away from zirconyl carboxylate) of a sol in liquid medium such as hot peanut oil. The microspheres of this ceramic composition have been made with relatively large diameters, (e.g.200-1000 micrometers) making them quite useful as lens elements in pavement marking sheet materials.
