Abstract:
A process of printing applies printing ink to the surface of a product of thermoplastic rubber compounds containing upwards of 95% mineral oil. The process uses ink compositions of resins, mineral oil, solvents, colorants, and additives. The process involves preparing a product from copolymer resins and other components, and blending an ink from copolymer resins and other components. Next, the process prints the desired multi-color image on the treated surface followed with a top coat on the surface of the substrate to protect the printed image. The top coat and ink stretch with the product so that the image remains intact. The process uses pad printing to print the image upon the surface of the product.
Abstract:

Recording sheets which include the composition, methods of making the composition and recording sheets, and methods for making an image are provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and systems for dispersing nanoparticles into a matrix. Disclosed is a system and method for coating a carrier film with a resin, spraying the resin with a suspended nanoparticle solution, and then transferring the resin-nanoparticle matrix to a collection vessel for dispensing for end use. Also, suspended nanoparticle solution is sprayed onto carrier film, the film is dried, a fabric layer is coated with resin layer, and nanoparticles are then transferred into the fabric resin layer to create a nanoparticle-infused fabric matrix. Fabric layers can also be coated with resin and sprayed with nanoparticles. Also disclosed is a system and method for coating a first carrier film with nanoparticles, coating a second carrier film with resin, and transferring nanoparticles from first carrier into the resin layer on the second carrier to create a nanoparticle infused resin material that can be collected and dispensed for end use.
