Abstract: This invention claims hot melt adhesive compositions that can be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable absorbent articles. The compositions have good elastic recovery and high peel adhesion at a viscosity of less than about 20,000 cps at 177° C. The low viscosity makes it possible to apply the adhesive at a high line speed and target application to only those areas requiring elastic performance.

Abstract: This invention claims a disposable article including at least two bonded regions, one of the regions has elastic properties; the other region is different from the first.

Abstract: This invention claims hot melt adhesive compositions that can be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable absorbent articles. The compositions have good elastic recovery and high peel adhesion at a viscosity of less than about 15,000 cps at 177° C. (350° F.). The low viscosity makes it possible to apply the hot melt adhesive at a high line speed and target application to only those areas requiring elastic performance.

Abstract: A reaction product and hot melt adhesive compositions that include the reaction product are disclosed. The reaction product includes the reaction product of a first polymer that includes at least one of polypropylene homopolymer and polypropylene-alpha-olefin copolymer, a first wax that includes at least one of polyethylene wax, Fischer Tropsch wax and paraffin wax, and a free radical initiator and has a viscosity of no greater than 12,000 centipoise at 177° C.

Abstract: A thermoplastic composition is disclosed that includes a thermoplastic polymer and volatile organic compound sorbent particles, and that exhibits a viscosity of no greater than 15,000 centipoise at 177° C.

Abstract: A composition, an article and a method for the bonding of non-woven substrates is disclosed. The composition includes solid particles comprising one or more polymers which are emulsified, dispersed and or suspended in a fluid carrier. The composition forms a molten blend when energy activated at temperatures in excess of 60° C. (140° F.).

Abstract: The invention provides compositions for controlled delivery and/or containment of therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents comprising the agent or agents encapsulated by a matrix containing chitosan, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and/or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and tetra-methoxy-ortho-silicate (TMOS) or tetra-ethoxy-ortho-silicate (TEOS), as well as methods for preparing the compositions, and uses of the compositions for therapy and imaging.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a remote press proofing system having the camera or cameras for digitizing the image of a press proof, for example, transmitting the digital image to a printer's terminal, color correcting the digital image, transmitting the image to a client's site also having a color correct monitor, so that the client may be view a color corrected digital image of a physical press proof sheet in order to approve whether the quality and color of the sample is sufficient without having to physically travel to the printer's location.
