Abstract: An external breast prosthesis (12) includes a main body made from a polymer, the body having an inner surface (13) for coinciding with an outer chest surface of a person wearing the breast prosthesis and an opposing outer surface (14), wherein the main body includes multiple elongated thermal conductors (15) that extend from a position adjacent the inner surface of the breast prosthesis to a position adjacent the outer surface of the breast prosthesis.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an external breast prosthesis (12), includes the steps of providing a 3D image of the breast prosthesis, forming the breast prosthesis using an additive manufacturing process, in which additive manufacturing process the breast prosthesis is made by forming a structure of a thermoplastic elastomer, the structure corresponding to the 3D image of the breast prosthesis, wherein the structure is a reticulated solid foam.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a textile product includes the steps of providing an intermediate product formed by a backing having a front surface and a back surface, and yarns applied into the backing, the yarns extending from the front surface of the backing material, feeding the intermediate product along a body having a heated surface, the back surface being pressed against the heated surface, to at least partly melt the yarns present in the intermediate product to form the textile product, wherein the part of the back surface that is pressed against the heated surface has a relative speed with respect to the heated surface, and a device enabling applications of this method and to a floor covering incorporating such a textile product connected to a dimensionally stable carrier sheet using thermo reversible covalent interactions.

Abstract: A method for providing a textile product includes the steps of providing yarns, contacting the yarns with a support material to form an intermediate product and bonding the yarns to the support material to form the textile product, wherein the bonding takes place by providing a reactive nucleus precursor at a site where the yarns contact the support material, and converting the precursor into a compound having multiple reactive nuclei in the presence of a compound having multiple nucleophilic groups, as well as a textile product obtainable by the method, uses of that product and lignin for use in producing such a textile product.
