Abstract:
An electronically switchable privacy films suitable for use in display devices are described. The electronically switchable privacy film comprises a pair of mutually opposing transparent electrodes; an optically transparent microstructured layer disposed between the transparent electrodes, the microstructured layer comprising a plurality of microstructured ribs extending across a surface thereof such that the microstructured ribs form an alternating series of ribs and channels; and electronically switchable material disposed in the channels, the electronically switchable material being capable of modulation between high and low absorption states upon application of an electric field across the transparent electrodes.
Abstract:
An adhesive article is disclosed. The adhesive article includes a reinforced tape and a pressure sensitive layer disposed on the reinforced tape. The pressure sensitive layer includes an adhesive blend of 25 to 75 parts by weight of a first hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive having a first polyacrylate, 60 to 24 parts by weight of a non-hydrophobic pressure sensitive adhesive having a second polyacrylate, and 15 to 1 parts by weight of a tackifying agent. The adhesive blend includes a cross linking agent. The non-hydrophobic pressure sensitive adhesive is miscible in the hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive and the second polyacrylate is different from the first polyacrylate. Methods of making and using adhesive articles are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of making an adhesive article comprises three steps. First, a backing is provided having first and second opposed major surfaces with respective first and second, silicone release layers disposed thereon. The second silicone release layer comprises an at least partially crosslinked silicone and from 5 to 20 percent by weight of inert flowable silicone. The inert flowable silicone has a number average molecular weight between 1000 grams/mole and 100,000 grams/mole. Second, an adhesive layer is disposed onto the first silicone release layer. Third, at least the adhesive layer is exposed to E-beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer. The process chamber contains oxygen. The second silicone release layer is exposed to the oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer.

Abstract:
A method of making an adhesive article includes providing a liner having first and second silicone release layer disposed on opposite sides thereof, applying the onium salt photoacid generator onto at least a portion of the first silicone release layer to provide a modified silicone release layer, disposing an adhesive layer onto the second silicone release layer, and and exposing at least the adhesive layer to electron beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer, wherein the process chamber contains oxygen, wherein the modified silicone release layer is exposed to the oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer. The first silicone release layer does not contain an onium salt photoacid generator. An adhesive article made by the method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A transparent electrode is described and includes metallic nanowires and a polymeric overcoat layer for protecting the nanowires from corrosion and abrasion. The polymeric overcoat layer includes nanoparticles selected from the group consisting of antimony tin oxide, zinc oxide and indium tin oxide, and has a sheet resistance of greater than about 107 ohm/sq. The transparent electrode can be used in electronic displays such as polymer- dispersed liquid crystal, liquid crystal, electrophoretic, electrochromic, thermochromic, electroluminescent and plasma displays.
Abstract:
Blended release materials including a blend of a fluoro-functional silicone release polymer and a fluoropolymer are described. Exemplary fluoropolymers include fluoroolefin-based polymers and linear fluoropolymers including linear fluoroacryaltes. Articles including such release materials such as release liners, and adhesive articles, including silicone adhesive articles, are also described.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an optical device having a light source, a viscoelastic lightguide and a retroreflective film suitable for retroreflecting light. Light from the light source enters the viscoelastic lightguide and is transported within the lightguide by total internal reflection. The optical device may have a "front lit" configuration such that light being transported within the lightguide is extracted and retroreflected by the film toward a viewer. The optical device may have a "back lit" configuration such that light being transported within the lightguide is extracted and transmitted through the film toward a viewer. The retroreflective film may comprise beaded retroreflective sheeting such as that used in traffic signs and markings.
