The present invention provides a hot melt adhesive, comprising polyester resins with a Tg below 0° C. and frequently combined with polyester resins with a Tg above 50° C. that can be applied at 80° C. or lower, having excellent impact resistance and broad chemical resistance. The hot melt adhesive of the invention is ideally suited for use in the manufacture of handheld and wearable electronic devices.

Low bond-temperature hot melt adhesive with high impact strength and chemical resistance

A black sheet () includes a laminate of a base sheet () and an infrared reflecting layer (). The CIE color values (L*, a*, b*) and the infrared reflectance R/[%] at a wavelength of 850 nm are within the following respective ranges. 18&#x2264;L*&#x2264;36, &#x2212;3&#x2264;a*&#x2264;3, &#x2212;3&#x2264;b*&#x2264;3, 12&#x2264;R

Black sheet and black adhesive tape

The present application is drawn to infrared reflective ink formulations, infrared reflective dried coatings prepared from such inks, and IR-reflective substrates and adhesive tapes prepared from such inks and coatings. The inks are suitable for printing by gravure or flexo methods onto polymeric substrates such as PET, paper, or other substrate materials. The coatings are reflective in the near-infrared range. The coatings and tapes are well suited for use in manufacturing methods. The coatings and/or the tapes are ultrathin, on the order of a few micrometers, making them attractive for use in different industrial applications.

The present invention provides a photo-substrate for printing of lenticular images that comprises a lenticular lens array, and an energy-reactive material adhered to the backside of the lenticular lens array. According to the methods of the present invention, the lenticular image is printed directly through the lenticular lens array onto the energy-reactive material, using, for example, collimated light or laser. The photo-substrate of the present invention can be adapted for large scale or industrial production to print lenticular images on a wide array of substrates, including such things as packaging and clothing.

Electrofluidic devices, visual displays formed from the electrofluidic devices, and methods for making and operating such electrofluidic devices Each electrofluidic device has a fluid vessel with first and second regions that contain an electrically conductive polar fluid and a non-polar fluid The polar and/or the non-polar fluids are externally visible external through a viewable area of the second region A voltage source is electrically connected to a capacitor having a hydrophobic surface that contacts the polar fluid and provides a first principal radius of curvature of the polar fluid that is convex and smaller than a second principal radius of curvature of the polar fluid in the first region The voltage source applies an electromechanical force to the polar fluid, thereby transferring the polar fluid from the first region to the second region and causing a spectral property of light transferred through the viewable area to change.
