This invention relates to an electrophoretic display comprising cells which are filled with charged particles dispersed in a solvent and are individually sealed with a polymeric sealing layer which is an integral part of the display and is curved.

An improved medical pad for contact thermal exchange with a patient includes a fluid circulation layer for containing a thermal exchange fluid circulatable therethrough, a first port and a second port for circulating the thermal exchange fluid in to and out of the fluid circulation layer, and a hydrogel layer interconnected to and extending across one side of the fluid circulation layer to define an adhesive surface for adherence to a patient's skin. The hydrogel layer comprises an ultra violet light-cured composition that includes a cross-linking copolymer in an amount of between about 15% to 30% by weight of the composition, water in an amount of between about 15% to 40% by weight of the composition, and glycerol in an amount of between about 25% to 35% by weight of the composition. The hydrogel layer is provided to have a thermal conductivity of at least about 1.9 ca//hr-cm-° C.

A preform having a low IV and comprising a PET Copolymer comprising a diol component having repeat units from ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol and a diacid component having repeat units from terephthalic acid and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. The total amount of diethylene glycol and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is present in the poly(ethylene terephthalate) copolymer in an amount from about 0.1 mole percent to less than 2.8 mole percent. The preform is useful in making containers and corresponding methods are disclosed.

There is provided a natural alkaline earth metal carbonate having a d₅₀ of about 0.5 μm or less and a moisture pick up of less than about 0.2 wt %, as well as a process for making the particulate carbonate by grinding. The carbonate may be used in polymer compositions.

A high refractive index, curable, synthetic resin composition comprising a core resin composition composed of a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated compounds, and an initiation system containing both photo and thermal initiators, particularly a photochromic resin composition which further includes at least one photochromic dye. Also a curing process, which includes a combination of multi-step radiation curing and thermal annealing. Articles produced of cured composition exhibit superior physical and, in appropriate cases, photochromic properties and can be easily mass produced on a commercial scale due to short processing time and use of readily available chemicals.
