Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for improving the adhesion of textile substrates to rubber or rubber-containing materials. Also encompassed herein are articles that contain textile substrates treated with such compositions. The composition generally comprises at least one phenol compound, at least one aldehyde compound, and at least one fluorocarbon-containing compound. The composition provides: (a) improved adhesion between textile substrates treated with the composition and rubber materials and (b) anti-wicking properties to end-use articles containing the treated substrates.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes a heat exchanger including a thermal exchange block having a top surface and a bottom surface. The system further includes a first thermoelectric cooler abutting the top surface of the thermal exchanger block and a first heat sink thermally coupled to the first thermoelectric cooler. The system also includes a second thermoelectric cooler abutting the bottom surface of the thermal exchanger block and a second heat sink thermally coupled to the second thermoelectric cooler.
