Publication number: 20150079355Abstract: The invention relates to three-dimensional dimensionally-stable moulded parts made of polymeric particles whose particles are connected firmly to each other, at least in part, at the contact sites of the particles, whereby the particles are preferably glued to each other, at least in part, at the contact sites. The pre-packaged moulded parts made of polymeric, powdery particles made of PMMA can take up acrylate or MMA into the porous three-dimensional structure and form a pasty or creamy dough that can be cast, pressed or injected and can be cured by common techniques after the forming. Also subject matters of the invention are the use of and a kit for producing said pasty dough. Said pre-packaged moulded parts are used in methods for producing prostheses, such as dental prostheses, bone cements, investment compounds, in particular of porous substrates, as investment compound in metallography.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2012Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: HERAEUS KULZER GMBHInventors: Yohannes Woldegergis, Christian Bauer

Publication number: 20150064447Abstract: An optical device includes a support structure configured to retain an optical element using a cured adhesive composition that is disposed between a surface of the support structure and a surface of the optical element, wherein a structured optical particulate material is dispersed throughout the cured adhesive. The structured optical particulate material redirects curing radiation via a scattering mechanism to facilitate curing of portions of the adhesive compositions that cannot be directly exposed to the radiation, thereby facilitating rapid and more thorough curing than could otherwise be achieved without the structured optical particulate material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Paul Gerard Dewa, Justin Paul Gales, Robert Dennis Grejda, Todd Robert McMichael, Paul John Shustack
