Abstract: A flexible and durable paper-based web particularly useful as label stock for flexible, squeezable containers. The paper web includes a substrate containing cellulose papermaking fibers. The substrate contains a fine crepe pattern that has been subjected to pressure to smooth the substrate surface. The substrate also contains as a saturant between about 15 and 75 parts by weight per 100 parts of fiber of a soft polymer saturant characterized by a glass transition in temperature from about -45.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. The resulting saturated substrate has a flexibility in the range of from about 10 mg. to 50 mg. generally and an elongation in the range of from about 15% to 35% generally with a Sheffield smoothness in the range of from about 20 to 250 generally. These properties are unique in a paper web and provide highly beneficial results in use as labels which may be repeatedly flexed on a squeezable container without wrinking.

Abstract: A novel donor construction is used for thermal mass transfer imaging applications. The donor constructions are coated from pigment dispersions which are flushed in solutions containing a chlorinated wax. Because of near refractive index matching to the coloring pigments and the low cohesive strength of the chlorinated wax, this novel thermal mass transfer system is characterized by low transfer energy requirements and high transparency in the transferred images.

Abstract: A continuous, chemical vapor deposition method for producing a coated glass article is disclosed. A glass substrate is advanced continuously, while hot, past first and second treating stations. A non-oxidizing atmosphere is maintained in the vicinity of the first treating station, while an oxidizing atmosphere is maintained in the vicinity of the second station. A non-oxidizing gas which contains a silane, e.g., SiH.sub.4, is directed from the first treating station against a surface of the glass to form a silicon coating on that surface. An oxidizing gas which includes a metal compound in the vapor phase is directed from the second station against the silicon-coated surface of the article.

Abstract: A structure of a copper conductor is obtained by oxidizing copper film formed on the surface of a substrate, and by heat treating the same in a reducing atmosphere, whereby only the surface layer portion of the oxidized copper film is reduced to become copper. The copper film of a conductor is formed on the surface of the substrate with the oxidized copper film interposed therebetween. As a result, an adhesion of the copper film to the surface of the substrate is enhanced.
