Patent number: 9168726Abstract: A method includes casting a friction reducing layer on a carrier, and casting an adhesive layer overlying the friction reducing layer to form a multilayer cast film. The method further includes laminating the multilayer cast film to the load bearing substrate with the load bearing substrate to form a composite and shaping the composite. The load bearing substrate is closer to the adhesive layer than to the friction reducing layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CorporationInventors: Alexis Ponnouradjou, Christopher M. Comeaux, Karen M. Conley, Frank J. Csillag, Sarah L. Clark, Raymond J. White

Publication number: 20120282437Abstract: A textured film is provided. The textured film includes a first layer forming an outer surface and including a fluoropolymer. A second layer includes an encapsulant layer. The first layer and the second layer are mechanically textured to provide a plurality of surface features on the outer surface and extend into the second layer. The film can be applied as a textured film overlying an active component of a photovoltaic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: SAINT-GOBAIN PERFORMANCE PLASTICS CORPORATIONInventors: Sarah L. Clark, Nikhil N. Bhiwankar, Yu Zhong, Vignesh Rajamani, Gowri Dorairaju, Christian C. Honeker, Jean-Philippe Mulet, Mathieu Berard

Patent number: 7795349Abstract: The present invention is directed to three-dimensional printing material systems and method, and an article made therefrom. The method of the present invention includes building cross-sectional portions of a three-dimensional article, and assembling the individual cross-sectional areas in a layer-wise fashion to form a final article. The individual cross-sectional areas are built by using an ink-jet printhead to deliver a fluid to a particulate material that includes particulate material.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Z CorporationInventors: James F. Bredt, Timothy Anderson, David B. Russell, Sarah L. Clark, Matthew J. DiCologero

Patent number: 7550518Abstract: A three-dimensional printing materials system and method can produce both appearance models and small numbers of functional parts in an office environment. The method can include building cross-sectional portions of a three-dimensional article, and assembling the individual cross-sectional areas in a layer-wise fashion to form a final article. The individual cross-sectional areas can be built by using an ink-jet printhead to deliver an aqueous solvent or binder to an adhesive particulate mixture, causing the particles of the mixture to adhere together, and to previous cross-sectional areas. The binder can include at least one of nonaqueous organic monomeric compound, anionically ionizable polymer, cationic polymer, polymer, waterborne colloid, or inorganic solute.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Z CorporationInventors: James F. Bredt, Sarah L. Clark, Evert F. Uy, Matthew J. DiCologero, Timothy Anderson, Michael Tarkanian, Derek X. Williams
