  • Patent number: 6677175
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing an optical waveguide that includes the steps of: (a) forming a core structure, the core structure including an at least partially cured core composition, on a master defining a waveguide pattern; (b) applying over the top of the core structure and the master a cladding layer including a liquid cladding composition; (c) curing the cladding layer to form a core/cladding combination; and removing the core/cladding combination from the master so as to expose at least a portion of the core structure, wherein the refractive index of the core material is at least about 0.05 percent higher than the refractive index of the cladding material.

  • Patent number: 5178938
    Abstract: Aromatic mono-, di-, or trihydroxy compounds are used alone or containing peel strength-improving additives, in association with a polyurethane adhesive, for adhering a polyurethane-coated nylon fabric to another polyurethane-coated nylon fabric to form a polyurethane-coated nylon composite, and for adhering a nylon fabric coated with an aluminum flake-containing polyurethane to a polyurethane-coated nylon fabric. Additionally, aromatic mono-, di-, or trihydroxy compounds are utilized in association with a polyurethane adhesive for forming a lamina composition comprising a polyurethane film adhered to a nylon fabric.
