Publication number: 20110177320Abstract: A method for making a composite and/or structured material includes: forming a lattice construction from a plurality of solid particles, the construction being formed so as to have one or more gaps between the particles; invading the lattice construction with a fluid material such that the fluid material at least partially penetrates the gaps; and, solidifying the material which invaded the lattice construction to form a composite material. In one suitable embodiment, the method further includes removing at least a portion of the lattice construction from the composite material thereby forming at the location of the removed portion one or more pores in the solidified material that invaded the construction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2009Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: AVERY DENNISON CORPORATIONInventors: Ali R. Mehrabi, Reza Mehrabi, Juan M. De Santos Avila, Janet Hsiao, Frank Chica

Patent number: 7699002Abstract: A card sheet including a top material having punched lines, the front side of the top material being printable. A carrier material of at least one polymer layer is directly applied as by extruding to the back side of the top material. The polymer has a stress-at-break in the range of 10 to 30 MPa and an elongation at break in the range of 10 to 120%. From the card sheet individual cards may be broken out to form high quality calling (business) cards, photograph cards, post cards or the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Martin Utz, Karl Lengfeller, Michael Wilkes, Sriram Venkatasanthanam, Ramin Heydarpour, Chia-Hsi Chu, Ronald Ugolick, Ali R.

Publication number: 20090295851Abstract: Methods and/or systems for printing or otherwise evincing temporary indicia on media with disappearing inks are described along with suitable disappearing ink formulations and media constructions for executing the same. In particular embodiments, the methods and/or systems described employ a plurality of disappearing inks with different disappearing rates. In one embodiment, a barrier layer that is selectively used to cover a major surface of the media is employed to substantially block or otherwise regulate a rate of phase transitions (e.g., evaporation and/or sublimation) experienced by ink borne by the media.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2009Publication date: December 3, 2009Applicant: AVERY DENNISON CORPORATIONInventors: David N. Edwards, Ali R. Mehrabi, Haochuan Wang, Juan M. De Santos Avila, Pradeep S. Iyer, Liviu Dinescu, Srikant Pathak, Nagarajan Srivatsan, Frank Y. Shih

Publication number: 20080274225Abstract: A method of embossing a sheet material includes: heating at least a portion of the sheet directly or indirectly with radiant energy from a radiant energy source; pressing a tool against the heated portion of the sheet, thereby patterning a surface of the sheet; and separating the sheet and the tool. The radiant energy may travel through a solid material that is relatively transparent to radiation, on its way to being absorbed by a relatively-absorptive material. The relatively-transparent material may be an unheated portion of the sheet, and the relatively-absorptive material may be either the tool or the heated portion of the sheet. Alternatively, the relatively-transparent material may be the tool, and the relatively-absorptive material may be all or part of the sheet. The method may be performed as one or more roll-to-roll operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2008Publication date: November 6, 2008Inventors: Rishikesh K. Bharadwai, Eng-Pi Chang, Philip Yi Zhi Chu, Hsiao Ken Chuanq, David N. Edwards, Robert J. Fermin, Ali R. Mehrabi, Reza Mehrabi, Ronald F. Sieloff, Chunhwa Wang
