Abstract: A heat reflecting pane comprises a substantially transparent glass substrate which has a layer of silicon oxide thereon and a layer of titanium dioxide in the rutile form on the side of the silicon oxide layer remote from the glass pane, the glass substrate having been toughened by heat treatment. The pane is formed by coating the glass substrate with a thin layer of silicon oxide, then applying a layer of titanium to the silicon oxide layer by vacuum deposition, the oxidizing the titanium at over 550.degree. C. to form titanium oxide in the rutile form.The silicon oxide layer prevents the rutile layer from becoming opaque when the pane is heated to the temperature necessary for heat treatment of the glass substrate, which may be during the heating step in which the titanium is oxidized or may be subsequently.

Abstract: A disposable composite comprising an absorbent, swellable film such as a lightly cross-linked polyacrylate, having on its two major surfaces a hydrophobic coating such as polyvinylidene chloride, is useful as a liner or packaging for disposable articles such as sanitary napkins. The hydrophobic coating protects the coated surfaces of the absorbent, swellable film from moisture, thereby maintaining the composite's integrity during use. Upon the composite's immersion in an aqueous fluid, the exposure of any uncoated film to water causes the composite to disintegrate, providing for easy flushability.

Abstract: A coupling element comprising elongate thermo-plastic strip material structured to provide that, on application thereto of heat in the range from about 300.degree. to about 500.degree. F. the outer portion thereof becomes fluidly adhesive, and is particularly adapted thereby to quickly form a ready bond and a clean seal between different materials, especially between glass and metal parts. While under the application of heat in the range specified, the outer portion of the element becomes fluidly adhesive, the inner or core portion of the element retains, as originally provided, an essentially stable form which accommodates and conforms to the contour of an applied load.On self cooling in place the strip coupling device provides a uniquely complete and extremely strong bond and seal between parts of unlike materials. In preferred embodiments and applications the invention provides for an improved installation of a window, windshield or like unit.
