Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods of printing articles using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques, and to articles formed from such techniques, including the printing of articles of footwear containing particles. Certain embodiments are generally directed to composites comprising particles (e.g., reinforcing particles), for example, rubber particles. The particles may be used, for example, to increase slip or abrasion resistance. The composites may also contain polyurethanes or other compounds, e.g., to facilitate fabrication, e.g., using three-dimensional printing and other printing techniques. Other embodiments are directed to methods of making or using such articles. For example, in some embodiments, a composite may be prepared by mixing particles (e.g., reinforcing particles) with at least a first fluid and a second fluid within a nozzle, such as a microfluidic printing nozzle, which may be used to direct the resulting product onto a substrate.

Abstract: Methods relating to the printing of materials using hybrid ink formulations are generally described.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to three-dimensionally printed articles for use in footwear and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, a three-dimensionally printed article may comprise a closed-cell foam. The closed-cell foam may have a gradient in and/or may be a single integrated material. In some embodiments, a three-dimensionally printed article may comprise a sensor. The use of such arrangements can, according to certain embodiments, allow for the production of improved articles of footwear and/or customized articles of footwear.

Abstract: A composition for use with a lead free solder is provided. In certain examples, the composition comprises an effective amount of a phenol to suppress void formation. Underfill compositions and devices that include the composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: A process for mounting a wafer on a substrate includes applying a pre-applied die attach on a backside of the wafer with a composition having a thermoplastic portion and a thermoset portion. The composition has a predetermined cure temperature. The process further includes heating the wafer to a temperature sufficient to remove solvents from the thermoplastic portion of the composition below the cure temperature, mounting the wafer on the substrate, and heating the wafer and the substrate to a temperature above the cure temperature to cure the thermoset portion of the pre-applied die attach composition. A composition for performing the process is further disclosed.
