Abstract:
Diagnostic devices including a first metallic or (co)polymeric substrate, a second metallic or (co)polymeric substrate opposite the first metallic or (co)polymeric substrate, and a multilayer stack of a porous substrate positioned between the first and second metallic or (co)polymeric substrates, the multilayer stack including a multiplicity of substantially planar stacked panels of the porous substrate or a folded elongate sheet of the substrate. A multiplicity of ultrasonically-bonded regions are formed around at least a portion of the perimeter of the multilayer stack such that the first and second metallic or (co)polymeric substrates together substantially surround and encapsulate the multilayer stack. An optional compressible layer is preferably positioned between at least one of the first and second metallic or (co)polymeric substrate and the multilayer stack. The diagnostic devices are suitable for qualitative or quantitative analysis of a sample fluid. Methods of making the diagnostic devices also are described.

Abstract:
Polymer composites that include a thermoplastic polymer, network structure and a soft, ferromagnetic particulate material. The polymer composites may be used, for example, as magnetic flux field directional materials. The present disclosure also relates to methods of making the polymer composites, e.g. polymer composite sheets, of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a polymer composite including a thermoplastic polymer, network structure; and a soft, ferromagnetic particulate material distributed within the thermoplastic polymer, network structure. The weight fraction of soft, ferromagnetic particulate material may be between 0.80 and 0.98, based on the total weight of the polymer composite and/or the thermoplastic polymer may have a number average molecular weight between 5 x 10 4 g/mol to 5 x 10 7 g/mol. In certain exemplary embodiments, the method further includes applying a vibratory energy, preferably ultrasonic energy, to the polymer composite sheet simultaneously with the applying of a compressive force.
