  • Patent number: 7704602
    Abstract: An iodine/iodide-containing hot melt coatable adhesive is provided. This adhesive is prepared by mixing iodine and an iodide salt, individually or in combination, with solubilizing liquids. The iodine and iodide salt are combined with a pre-adhesive composition in a hot melt mixer, with an iodine/iodide complexing agent being present in the mixture. The mixture is mixed at a temperature from about 130° C. to about 200° C. and sufficiently to form an iodine/iodide-containing hot melt coatable adhesive. Alternatively, the iodide may be generated in situ. The adhesive so prepared may be packaged for coating on a substrate at a later time, or may be immediately coated to form an adhesive composite. Adhesive composites, particularly surgical incise drapes, are provided incorporating this hot melt coatable adhesive.

  • Patent number: 7405857
    Abstract: A light managing screen may provide a rear projection screen, front projection screen or component thereof. The screen may comprise a polymeric composition including a first polymeric material, and a second polymeric material disposed as a plurality of elongated structures within the first polymeric material. Each elongated structure has a major axis and the major axes are substantially aligned. The first polymeric material has an index of refraction that differs by at least 0.01 from an index of refraction of the second polymeric material. In some instances, a pressure sensitive adhesive material is selected as the first polymeric material. The orientation of the elongated structures and the difference in indices of refraction results in the polymeric composition scattering light asymmetrically.

  • Publication number: 20060246296
    Abstract: An optical article includes a rigid substrate, a reflective polarizer, and an adhesive composition disposed between the substrate and the polarizer. The adhesive composition includes a majority of a pressure sensitive adhesive component, a high Tg polymer, and a crosslinker. The pressure sensitive adhesive component includes at least one polymer having an acid or base functionality. The high Tg polymer has a weight average molecular weight greater than 100,000, a Tg greater than about 20° C., and an acid or base functionality. The functionality of the pressure sensitive adhesive component and the functionality of the high Tg polymer form an acid-base interaction when mixed. The adhesive composition is optically clear.
