  • Publication number: 20240097277
    Abstract: A method for producing a microporous material comprising the steps of: providing an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE); providing a filler; providing a processing plasticizer; adding the filler to the UHMWPE in a mixture being in the range of from about 1:9 to about 15:1 filler to UHMWPE by weight; adding the processing plasticizer to the mixture; extruding the mixture to form a sheet from the mixture; calendering the sheet; extracting the processing plasticizer from the sheet to produce a matrix comprising UHMWPE and the filler distributed throughout the matrix; stretching the microporous material in at least one direction to a stretch ratio of at least about 1.5 to produce a stretched microporous matrix; and subsequently calendering the stretched microporous matrix to produce a microporous material which exhibits improved physical and dimensional stability properties over the stretched microporous matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230243386
    Abstract: A hinge mechanism with a collapsible leg is disclosed. The hinge mechanism may include a support member with a first end and a second end. The first end may be configured to be rotationally coupled to a first portion of a frame via a first rotational coupling. The second end may be rotationally coupled to the collapsible leg via a second rotational coupling. The collapsible leg may be configured to move between an extended position and a collapsed position. The collapsible leg may include a mating surface at a first leg end. The mating surface may be configured to be removably mateable to a corresponding mating surface of a second portion of the frame when in the extended position.
