Cushioning elements include a breathable material configured to allow gases to pass through at least a portion thereof, and a plurality of discrete segments of thermoplastic elastomeric gel (“gel”) heat-fused or otherwise attached to the breathable material. The gel comprises an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer, with a plasticizer-to-polymer ratio of from about 0.3 to about 50. The plurality of discrete segments defines at least one breathable gap between adjacent discrete segments. Methods of forming cushioning elements include forming a plurality of discrete segments of gel, securing each segment to a breathable material, and providing a gas path through the breathable material and between adjacent segments. Another method includes providing molten gel within a mold, providing at least a second portion of the gel within a permeable material, and solidifying the gel to form discrete segments of gel.

The present invention provides a modified substrate including a hydrophilic polymer wherein the soluble hydrophilic polymer ratio is 15 weight percent or less and the number of adhered human blood platelets is 10 / 4.3×103 μm2 or less. In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing a modified substrate including a step of irradiating the substrate with radiation while the substrate is brought into contact with an aqueous solution containing a hydrophilic polymer and an antioxidant. The present invention provides a modified substrate having high hematologic compatibility wherein the hydrophilic polymer is immobilized on the surface of the substrate, and a method for producing the same.

The invention relates to a thermoelectric thick film preparation method. Thermoelectric thick film slurry is composed of thermoelectric material particles, polymers and an organic solvent. Due to the polymer ratio, the thermoelectric thick film slurry printed on a flexible substrate does not fall automatically after being dried, after the thermoelectric thick film slurry is fully dried, one face with viscose of a high temperature-resisting thin film is used for tight covering, and a thermoelectric thick film with excellent performance is acquired through cold isostatic pressing processing. As the polymer ratio is the lowest ratio which can only enable the thermoelectric thick film slurry printed on the flexible substrate not to fall automatically after being dried, attachment and molding of the thermoelectric thick film on the flexible substrate are acquired through the tightly-covered high temperature-resisting thin film and cold isostatic pressing processing, the thermoelectric particles are fully and tightly contacted, conductivity s close to that of a bulk can be acquired, the thermoelectric performance is improved, and due to protection of the high temperature-resisting thin film, the thermoelectric thick film is not likely to oxidize even if working for a long time at a temperature between room temperature and 230 DEG C.

The invention provides an aqueous dispersoid of fluorine-containing seed polymer particles serving as a film formation component for an aqueous coating combination. Although the ratio of acrylic acid ester polymers during seed polymerization is high, the acrylic acid ester polymers are highly compatible with the fluorine-containing polymer serving as seed particles, and can provide transparent films. The invention relates to an aqueous dispersoid of fluorine-containing seed polymer particles and an aqueous coating combination containing the aqueous dispersoid. A fluorine-containing polymer containing at least one fluoro-alkene unit is served as a seed particle and is obtained by polymerization of monomer mixtures containing acrylic acid ester monomers and ethylene monomer containing hydrolyzed monosilane, wherein the content of the acrylic acid ester monomer unit is, by mass, 40-400 parts relative to 100 parts of the fluorine-containing polymer particles, and the content of the ethylene monomer containing hydrolyzed monosilane is by mass, 0.1-2 parts relative to 100 parts of the acrylic acid ester monomer unit.

The invention relates to a caffeine-templated MIP copolymer matrix and devices employing these polymers that exhibit high absorbance or binding capacity for caffeine while retaining rapid caffeine uptake kinetics, and which function in both cold and hot aqueous environments to selectively remove caffeine from a beverage with a high selectivity factor in order to better preserve the sensory aspects of the decaffeinated beverage, and which can easily be used by a typical consumer to treat their beverage within a short time frame of less than about one minute. More specifically, the invention relates to copolymeric MIP matrices produced according to methods wherein the template to polymer ratio is dramatically increased in order to raise the affinity of the resulting MIP materials, and hyper-crosslinked MIP matrices produced using higher amounts of crosslinking agents to produce high affinity copolymer matrices that better maintain a high degree of selectivity towards caffeine while minimizing the uptake of congeners to better maintain the sensory characteristics of the decaffeinated beverages. The invention further relates to manual and mechanical devices employing the inventive MIP matrices in a variety of physical forms and configurations that enable a user to decaffeinate a beverage manually or automatically within one minute or less, or select a level of decaffeination by controlling the exposure time to said devices.
