The invention discloses a microencapsulated phase change material having a specific Thermal Efficiency Index (TEI).TEI=&#x3b1;()*&#x3b2;()*&#x3b3;()*&#x3b4;(@180)*&#x2208;()The problem of achieving effective and efficient microencapsulated phase change material can be solved to yield a commercially useful material having the described combination of physical and chemical characteristics based on the parameters described in the specification. Microcapsules according to the invention are highly effective at delivering enhanced thermal performance as compared to conventional microcapsules.

Encapsulates

A coated paper with enhanced properties and/or lower cost can be obtained by using a coating that contains a binder and stanchion-encapsulated titanium dioxide. The stanchion-encapsulated titanium dioxide can provide the same or similar brightness, gloss, and/or opacity while using less titanium dioxide.

Coated paper

The present application relates to encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents and processes for making and using compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents that do not require or require a reduced amount of scavenger materials. Such encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents are processed such that no or lower levels of scavenger materials are required.

Delivery particle

Benefit agent delivery composition with a low content of shell particles

A paint composition, which comprises a stanchion-encapsulated pigment such as titanium dioxide, can provide enhanced paint quality with reduced cost.

Paint with encapsulated solid particles

An insulating beverage cup is produced with an air containing film layer disposed on an inner surface of a food or beverage paper stock. The air containing film layer is extruded or laminated to the paper stock. An additional extruded or laminated layer is applied between the air containing film layer and paper stock layer. The insulating coating layer decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the cup for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain. The exterior surface of the beverage cup remains highly printable and predisposed to high quality graphics.

Insulated beverage or food container

Beverage or food containers made from sheet material, and methods of making such containers. Such container comprises a layer of paperboard and an expanded foam layer applied as a coating in a liquid carrier, and affixed to a paperboard base layer. The expanded foam has a remote surface preferably defined by intermingled peaks and valleys. The sheet material can include a protective cover layer overlying the remote surface. Such cover layer can comprise paper, plastic film, or foamed thermoplastic. The sheet material can include a heat seal layer, with the heat seal layer overlying, and in surface-to-surface contact with, the foam layer such that the foam layer is between the paperboard and the heat seal layer. Preferred composition for the foam layer is PVDC or AMM.

Beverage and food containers, inwardly directed foam

The present invention provides for a system and two methods for forming electrically conductive pathways. These pathways can be connected with a microchip in order to form a radio frequency identification tag. A first method uses a thermal transfer ribbon, coated with a conductive material that is engaged with a receiver substrate. A thermal print head will heat a composition on the thermal transfer ribbon in order to transfer it to the receiver substrate. This transfer composition forms the electrically conductive pathway or antenna. In an alternative method, a receiver substrate is heated in order to react conductive material thereon. This receiver substrate is also heated by a thermal print head to form an electrically conductive pathway.

Method for forming electrically conductive pathways

An insulating beverage or food container or sleeve is produced with a foam layer disposed on an inner surface of a paper stock. A polymer shrink film layer is arranged in a position along an inside surface of the beverage container. The foam layer is sandwiched between the polymer shrink film layer and the paper stock and decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the container for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain. The polymer shrink film layer is produced from a shrink film polymer having a percent shrink in the range of 30% or less, and more particularly a percent shrink range of 5 to 10%.

An insulating beverage cup or sleeve is produced with a foam layer disposed on an inner surface of a food or beverage paper stock. A polyethylene film layer is arranged in a position between a paper stock layer and an inside surface of the beverage container. The foam layer decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the cup for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain, e.g. greatly extends the hold time of the paper cup. The exterior surface of the beverage cup remains highly printable and predisposed to high quality graphics both before and after cup manufacture.

The present invention provides for a system and two methods for forming RF reflective pathways. These pathways can form a radio frequency identification tag. A first method uses a thermal transfer ribbon, coated with a conductive material that is engaged with a receiver substrate. A thermal print head will heat a composition on the thermal transfer ribbon in order to transfer it to the receiver substrate. This transfer composition forms the RF reflective pathway. In an alternative method, a receiver substrate is heated in order to react conductive material thereon. This receiver substrate is also heated by a thermal print head to form a RF reflective pathway.

Thermally-responsive record material

The invention discloses a novel thermally-responsive record material comprising a support having coated thereon a thermally sensitive color forming composition comprising a chromogenic material, an acidic developer material and a certain carbamate component that does not include dodecyl-N-phenylcarbamate. The novel record material displays enhanced image intensity or improved thermal response.
