The elastomers include physical cross-links which enable the elastomers to be formed as laminates with other polymeric materials by processing techniques involving application of heat.

Abstract: A tape for sampling a surface to determine the amount of particulate matter which has settled thereon. The tape is constructed of a polymeric film backing and a smooth, pigmented adhesive coating. A grid pattern is printed directly on the outer surface of the adhesive coating. Alternatively, the adhesive may be transparent, the film backing pigmented, and the grid pattern printed on the film backing. In this manner, the tape may be applied directly to the surface to be sampled, and particulates will adhere to the outer surface of the adhesive coating. The particulate level may then be determined according to the average number of particulates in a given square formed by the grid pattern.
