TL;DR: In this paper, the shape-retaining properties of polyethylene terephthalate polypropylene fibers are investigated. But, the authors do not consider the effect of temperature on the shape of the fibers.
Abstract: Biocomponent fibers, and webs made therefrom, are taught in which one component of the fibers is a crystallizable material. When a web of the fibers is heated in a mold above the temperature at which crystallization occurs, the fibers tend to be set in the position they are held in the mold. A preferred fiber comprises blown fibers comprising as one component amorphous, crystallizable polyethylene terephthalate, and as the other component polypropylene. A web of such fibers not only becomes formed into a shape-retaining form by crystallization during the molding process, but also can be further established in its shape-retaining character by heating the web above the softening point of the polypropylene, whereupon the fibers become bonded at their points of intersection.

TL;DR: Ceramic abrasive grits comprising alpha alumina and at least about 0.5 percent by weight rare earth metal oxide are prepared by combining alumina hydrate and rare earth metals oxide or its precursors to produce a blend, drying the blend to generate a dried solid, crushing the dried solid to produce grits, calcining the dried grits to substantially remove bound volatile materials, and firing the grits into produce a ceramic material.
Abstract: Ceramic abrasive grits comprising alpha alumina and at least about 0.5 percent by weight rare earth metal oxide are prepared by combining alumina hydrate and rare earth metal oxide or its precursors to produce a blend, drying the blend to produce a dried solid, crushing the dried solid to produce grits, calcining the dried grits to substantially remove bound volatile materials, and firing the grits to produce a ceramic material. The rare earth metal is selected from the group consisting of praseodymium, samarium, ytterbium, neodymium, lanthanum, gadolinium, cerium, dysprosium, erbium, and mixtures of one or more rare earth metal.

TL;DR: An optical film with a dispersed phase of polymeric particles disposed within a continuous birefringent matrix is oriented by stretching, typically by bending, in one or more directions as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: An optical film with a disperse phase of polymeric particles disposed within a continuous birefringent matrix. The film is oriented, typically by stretching, in one or more directions. The size and shape of the disperse phase particles, the volume fraction of the disperse phase, the film thickness, and the amount of orientation are chosen to attain a desired degree of diffuse reflection and total transmission of electromagnetic radiation of a desired wavelength in the resulting film.

TL;DR: In this article, the 1H-imidazo[4,5c]-quinolin-4-amines are disclosed as antiviral agents, they induce biosynthesis of interferon, and they inhibit tumor formation in animal models.
Abstract: 1-substituted, 2-substituted 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]-quinolin-4-amines are disclosed. These compounds function as antiviral agents, they induce biosynthesis of interferon, and they inhibit tumor formation in animal models. This invention also provides intermediates for preparing such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and pharmacological methods of using such compounds.

TL;DR: A microstructure-bearing composite plastic article can be made by depositing an uncured oligomeric resin composition onto a master negative molding surface in an amount barely sufficient to fill the cavities of the master as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A microstructure-bearing composite plastic article can be superior, both in microstructure and in physical properties, when it is a composite of a tough, flexible substrate, at a surface of which is microstructure formed of a cured oligomeric resin having hard segments and soft segments, which cured resin is substantially confined to the microstructure portion of the composite. Such a composite plastic article can be made by depositing an uncured oligomeric resin composition (16) onto a master negative molding surface in an amount barely sufficient to fill the cavities (14) of the master (10), filling the cavities by moving a bead of the compositions between a substrate (22) and the master, and curing the deposited composition by ultraviolet radiation while keeping the temperature during curing to not more than 50°C above the typical use temperature of the finished composit plastic article.
