Abstract: A method for fabrication of an optically transparent and electrically conductive structural material, that includes electrospinning a nanofibrillar mat of a polymer, casting a conductive material nanowire network onto the electrospun mat, embedding the electrospun mat containing the conductive material nanowire network into a mold with bulk monomer, and polymerizing the bulk monomer with the embedded electrospun mat containing the conductive material nanowire network to create an optically transparent and electrically conductive polymer.

Abstract: A method for fabrication of an optical transparency, that includes electrospinning of an Indium Tin Oxide sol polymer solution such that nanofibers are formed, heat treating the electrospun nanofibers such that the Indium Tin Oxide is in a conductive form, and dispersing the heat treated nanofibers into a substantially optically clear polymer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to shaving compositions which comprise one or more water soluble polymers to increase lubricity and enhance shaving performance. The polymers employed in the shaving compositions provide the composition with a stress ratio (i.e., the ratio of normal stress to shear stress) in excess of 3.0 when measured at a shear rate of 800 sec−1. A preferred combination of polymers includes polyethylene oxide (mol. Wt.≧1 million) and natural or synthetic polysaccharide gum. The present invention is also directed to an improved shaving method in which such compositions are applied to an area of skin, then said area is shaved. In another aspect, the present invention embraces shaving compositions comprising water, a cleansing or conditioning agent for hair or skin, polyethylene oxide (mol. Wt.≧1 million) and natural or synthetic polysacchride gum.
