The present invention generally relates to solution electrospinning processes for fabricating fibers, to the fibers prepared thereby, and to non-woven webs, fabrics, porous composite filter media, and articles comprising the fibers.

High-output solvent-based electrospinning

This invention is a method for fabricating fibers by melt-blowing a melt of a molecularly self-assembling material, the melt being at a temperature of from 130&#xb0; C. to 220&#xb0; C., thereby forming a fiber set having a distribution of fiber diameters wherein at least 95% of the fibers have a diameter of less than about 3 microns. The invention further comprises collecting the fiber set so as to form a fibrous non-woven web.

Process for producing micron and submicron fibers and nonwoven webs by melt blowing

The surface contribution to appearance of an object is characterized using a plurality of viewing and illumination angles. The color determining and surface contribution are determined to aid in the predicting of the appearance of an object as well as matching an object to another object.

METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING THE APPEARANCE OF A PARTICULAR OBJECT, FOR PREDICTING THE APPEARANCE OF AN OBJECT, AND FOR MANUFACTURING AN OBJECT HAVING A PREDETERMINED APPEARANCE WHICH HAS OPTIONALLY BEEN DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF A REFERENCE OBJECT
