Abstract: A thermochromic polymer composition including a base polymer material; a temperature sensitive material, which changes a color of the thermochromic polymer composition in response to a temperature change; and a stabilizer, which enhances stability performance of the thermochromic polymer composition. The thermochromic polymer composition which has a good thermochromic performance and good thermal performance and thus could provide a visible indication of the overheat condition. An electrical device is formed from the thermochromic polymer composition. A further embodiment of the process for preparing the thermochromic polymer composition and forming the electrical device.

Abstract: A reinforced cable tie generally includes an elongate strap, a head attached to a first end of the strap and a continuous fiber reinforcement disposed in and extending substantially continuously along a path defining at least one of the strap and the head. The head has one or more apertures formed therein and a locking device disposed in the aperture of the head. The locking device is configured to permit a second end of the strap opposite the head to be inserted through the head aperture in a first direction and is further configured to prevent movement of the second end of the strap from the head aperture in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A cable tie is provided with a wedge disposed within a passage extending through a head. The wedge is compressed within the passage when tension is applied to the strap. As a result, the wedge compresses the strap against an inner surface of the passage to restrain the strap.

Abstract: A method for forming a fiber-reinforced cable tie includes placing at least one reinforcing fiber in a mold cavity, injecting a molten material in the mold cavity, wherein the molten material defines a melt front during injection, and maintaining a position of the reinforcing fiber within the mold cavity at the melt front during the injecting of the melt, whereby the fiber is substantially encapsulated by the molten material. A mold for forming a fiber-reinforced cable tie includes a mold cavity and a fiber guide movably supported within the mold cavity for maintaining a position of a reinforcing fiber placed within the mold cavity during injection of a molten material into the mold cavity.

Abstract: A thermochromic electrical device is made of thermochromic plastic material and has a visual indicator pre-printed with regular print or ink to allow visible warning of a scalding situation when the thermochromic plastic portion fades from its original color to leave the warning visible. The electric device may be any one of, for example, a cable tie, a cable connector, a terminal connector, a splice connector, and a cable jacket.
