Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a light control film that is capable of transmitting light, or allowing a viewer to observe information, only within a viewing region centered around the normal (perpendicular line) to a surface. The light control film generally blocks information or light outside of this viewing region, and provides security in all directions including right-and-left and up-and-down of the film. The light control film includes a plurality of light-transmissive cavities that are surrounded by a light absorbing material, such that each of the plurality of cavities is optically isolated from adjacent cavities. Each of the light-transmissive cavities effectively block light which enters the cavity outside of a viewing (that is, cutoff) angle.
Abstract:
Optical constructions are disclosed. A disclosed optical construction includes a reflective polarizer layer, and an optical film that is disposed on the reflective polarizer layer. The optical film has an optical haze that is not less than about 50%. Substantial portions of each two neighboring major surfaces in the optical construction are in physical contact with each other. The optical construction has an axial luminance gain that is not less than about 1.2.
Abstract:
A system including a polymeric sheet. The polymeric sheet comprises a base sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a multiplicity of spaced rails projecting from the first surface of the base sheet. The rails comprise a stem portion attached to and substantially upright from the first surface of the base sheet and a top portion on the distal end of the stem opposite the base sheet. The top portion comprises a first surface opposite the base sheet and a second surface facing the first surface of the base sheet. Additionally, the rails have a length greater than the width of the stems. The first surface of the base sheet, the second surface of the top portion and the surface of the stem defines a cavity with walls, and an adhesive coated on at least a portion of the cavity wall.
Abstract:
An optical adhesive including a viscoelastic or elastomeric adhesive layer and a cured polymer layer immediately adjacent the viscoelastic or elastomeric adhesive layer is described. The viscoelastic or elastomeric adhesive layer has a refractive index less than 1.570 and the cured polymer layer has a refractive index of at least 1.570. An interface between the viscoelastic or elastomeric adhesive layer and the cured polymer layer is structured. The cured polymer layer has a storage modulus of at least 2000 MPa at 20 °C and a glass transition temperature of no more than 65 °C.
Abstract:
Pressure sensitive adhesive articles include a substrate, and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive in contact with the substrate. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer includes a pressure sensitive adhesive matrix, and at least one active enzyme dispersed within the pressure sensitive adhesive matrix. The active enzyme remains active for extended periods of time.
Abstract:
Described herein is a release coating comprising a blend of: (a) a first polymer, wherein the first polymer is a silicone-containing (meth)acrylic polymer; and (b) a second polymer, wherein the second polymer comprises the polymerization reaction product of: (i) a first monomer having an alkyl group with 12 to 24 carbon atoms, a linking group containing a nitrogen or ester group, and a free-radically polymerizable (meth)acryl group; and (ii) a second free-radically polymerizable monomer having less than 12 carbon atoms. Such release coatings can be coated onto a substrate and used as a release coating for pressure sensitive adhesives.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to light management constructions comprising microstructured prismatic elements useful in the preparation of room-facing light redirecting films having reduced glare.
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions include a blend of a non-siloxane polyurea-based polymer, a non-siloxane polyurethane-based polymer, or a blend of a non-siloxane polyurea-based and non-siloxane polyurethane-based with at least one (meth)acrylate-based pressure sensitive adhesive. The non-siloxane polyurea-based polymer or non-siloxane polyurethane-based polymer is free of free radically polymerized groups. The adhesive composition is a self-wetting, optically clear pressure sensitive adhesive. The adhesive compositions can be coated on substrates to form adhesive articles.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to cold chain packaging, cold chain packaging articles and devices, and methods of making and using the cold chain packaging, articles, and devices. The cold chain packaging, articles, and devices of the present disclosure include (1) one or more "Phase Change Materials" (PCMs); and (2) one or more protective coverings that are adjacent to the PCM and that protect the PCM and/or item to be shipped from the environment during shipping and transport.
Abstract:
Sheet article comprising a first wall, second wall, and porous scrim between the first and second walls, and at least one seal portion sealing the first wall, second wall, and porous scrim together, as well as packaging articles and constructions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the foregoing sheet articles, packaging articles, and constructions.
