Abstract:
A solar control film can include a multilayer stack including a transparent metal layer and a dark metal layer separated by an interference layer. The solar control film can have an improved solar control factor.
Abstract:
A tubular comprising a substrate having a first end, a second end, and an axial bore extending between the first and second ends, and an outer polymer layer disposed on the substrate, wherein a first axial end of the outer polymer layer extends beyond the first end of the substrate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to solar control films containing a photochromic layer. For example, in certain embodiments, a solar control film includes a photochromic layer comprising an inorganic photochromic material and an infrared control layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a fluid connection including a plurality of flexible polymeric tubes; an integral fluid connector coupled to and in fluid communication with each of the plurality of tubes; and a shell disposed over and encapsulating the fluid connector. The fluid connection surprisingly exhibiting significant increases in the working pressure, particularly in biopharmaceutical fluid transfer systems.
Abstract:
A cell culture container is provided, comprising membrane bound compartments for growing and harvesting monocytes that allows replenishing and removal of feed media without the loss or death of cells.
Abstract:
A container includes an inner bag, where the interior of the inner bag includes a sterile environment for storing a material, at least one access port configured to provide fluid access to the interior of the inner bag, an overwrap bag, where the interior of the overwrap bag includes a sterile environment for storing the material and where the inner bag is enclosed within the interior of the overwrap bag, and an overwrap access port configured to provide fluid access to the interior of the overwrap bag. The material can include a biomaterial. Each of the inner bag, the overwrap bag, the at least one access port, and the overwrap access port can include a fluoropolymer such as fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP).
Abstract:
A component for a bearing including a substrate having opposite major surfaces spaced apart by a thickness of the substrate, and a plurality of channels extending along the first surface, at least two of the plurality of channels extending in parallel with each other, wherein at least one of the plurality of channels is adapted to receive and secure a polymeric material to the substrate. A method of forming a bearing including providing a substrate having a opposite major surfaces spaced apart by a thickness, forming channels in the substrate, the channels each having a depth extending from the first major surface toward the second major surface, applying a polymeric material to at least a portion of the first major surface, wherein a portion of the polymeric material occupies at least a portion of at least one of the channels, and curing the polymeric material.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to adhesive tapes containing an adhesive resin and a crosslinkable component. The novel tapes can exhibit synergistic improvements in parameters such as modulus, overlap shear strength, shelf life, and others.
Abstract:
The invention describes a flexible tubular article for transport of volatile hydrocarbons comprising: (a) an inner layer of a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) polymer or a polyvinylidene difluoride copolymer; (b) an intermediate thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layer extruded in tubular form over the inner PVDF layer, and (c) a polyvinyl chloride polymer extruded in tubular form over the outside surface of the intermediate layer and being coextensive therewith. The tubular articles of the invention have a maximum permeation rating of 15 g/m2/day under SAE J1737 test conditions.
