Patent number: 7655294Abstract: The invention relates to a digital printing method and a paper or board applicable thereto. In digital printing, the surface of a paper or board is charged electrically, toner particles are brought to the surface in an electric field in accordance with the printing, and the particles are melted fast to the surface with the help of heat for forming the printing. According to the invention, the paper or board (2) is provided with a coating layer (3) containing an electrically chargeable acrylate copolymer of ethylene, which receives the toner that is fused to the coating with the help of infrared radiation. Suitable coating polymers are especially methyl, ethyl and butyl acrylate copolymers of ethylene (EMA, EEA and EBA). Especially in packaging boards, besides the digitally printable layer, the polymer coatings can comprise a water vapor or oxygen barrier layer for protecting the packed product, and a heat-sealable layer on the opposite side of the board for sealing the package.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Stora Enso OyjInventors: Johanna Lahti, Tapani Penttinen, Jari Räsänen, Jurkka Kuusipalo, Antti Savolainen

Patent number: 7651964Abstract: A unitary, fiber-containing composite comprises (a) a first region comprising a plurality of first binder fibers and a plurality of bast fibers, (b) a second region disposed above the first region, the second region comprising a plurality of second binder fibers and a plurality of bast fibers, and (c) a transitional region disposed between the first region and the second region. The transitional region comprises concentrations of the first binder fiber, the second binder fiber, and the bast fiber. The concentration of the first binder fiber in the first transitional region is greatest proximate to the first region and least proximate to the second region, and the concentration of the second binder fiber and the bast fiber in the first transitional region is greatest proximate to the second region and least proximate to the first region. A method for producing a unitary, fiber-containing composite is also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Milliken & CompanyInventors: Gregory J.

Publication number: 20100015299Abstract: The invention relates to a food casing with textile backing material which has been coated with a layer of regenerated or precipitated cellulose. This casing combines the properties of a textile skin with those of a cellulose fiber skin. Besides the surface texture for which textile skins are known and prized, it also has the transparency and the barrier properties, i.e. water-vapor permeability, oxygen permeability and smoke-constituent permeability, of a cellulose fiber skin. At the same time the casing is impervious to fat. It is used preferably as an artificial sausage casing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2006Publication date: January 21, 2010Inventors: Ralf Borst, Jens Foegler, Herbert Gord, Michael Seelgen, Peter Wolf

Patent number: 7648758Abstract: Disclosed are composite materials that can exhibit low transmission energy loss and can also be temperature resistant. The composites include reinforcement fibers held in a polymeric matrix. The polymeric matrix can include an amorphous polymer component. Also disclosed are methods of forming the composites. Methods can include forming amorphous thermoplastic polymer fibers, forming a fabric from the fibers, combining the fabric with reinforcement fibers, and molding the structure thus formed under heat and pressure such that the amorphous thermoplastic polymer flows and forms a polymeric matrix incorporating the reinforcement fibers. The composites can be molded from multi-layer structures that can include layers of differing materials, for instance layers formed of polyaramids, fiberglass, or carbon fiber wovens or nonwovens. The composites can advantageously be utilized in low loss dielectric applications, such as in forming circuit board substrates, radomes, antennas, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2007Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Innegrity, LLCInventor: Brian G.
