20080213418 | ALIGN-TRANSFER-IMPRINT SYSTEM FOR IMPRINT LITHOGRPHY - An imprint system for imprint lithography comprises an alignment subsystem and an imprint subsystem. The mask (mold) and the wafer for imprinting (substrate) are align on the alignment subsystem and contacted to each other to form a mask/wafer set. The mask/wafer set is then transferred onto the imprint subsystem while alignment is maintained. The mask/wafer set is then imprinted on the imprint subsystem. During transfer, the mask/wafer set can be held in alignment by surface. The surface adhesion can be enhanced by local pressing, local heating, or both. Alternatively, the mask/wafer set can be held in alignment by clamping. Advantageously, the imprinting is effected by fluid pressure imprinting. | 09-04-2008 |
20100119641 | IMPRINT LITHOGRAPHY WITH IMPROVED SUBSTRATE/MOLD SEPARATION - In imprint lithography, a mold having a pattern of projecting and recessed regions is pressed into a moldable surface on a substrate. The thus-imprinted moldable surface is permitted to at least partially harden to retain the imprint, and the substrate and mold are separated. In accordance with the invention, the substrate is separated from the mold by bending laterally distal regions (regions away from the center toward the edges) of the mold transversely away from the interface and transversely restraining the substrate. The mold can then be easily separated from the substrate by transverse displacement. The separation can be facilitated by providing a mold having a lateral dimension that on at least two sides extends beyond the corresponding lateral dimension of the substrate. Alternatively, the substrate can have a greater lateral extent than the mold, and the mold can be restrained. The distal regions of the substrate can be bent in the transverse direction. Apparatus for effecting such separation is also described. | 05-13-2010 |
20100289184 | Die Imprint By Double Side Force-Balanced Press For Step-And-Repeat Imprint Lithography - In accordance with the invention, step-and-repeat imprint lithography is effected by applying balanced pressing forces from both sides of a substrate. The pressing forces are substantially equal in amplitude and opposite in direction. With the pressing forces thus balanced, the fixture that steps and holds the substrate does not bear the load of imprinting. The balance allows use of a high resolution aligning stage to carry the substrate and to maintain high accuracy of positioning without being shifted by change of load. With this method, sufficient imprint pressure can be used to obtain high quality patterning, a thin and uniform residual layer, and a high fidelity pattern. | 11-18-2010 |

20100210163 | HOT MELT ADHESIVES CONTAINING STYRENE BUTADIENE BLOCK COPOLYMER - Hot melt adhesive compositions containing hyper-branched SBS block copolymers and end use applications thereof. The hyper-branched SBS is characterized in having a ratio between light-scattering molecular weight (of non-di-block polymer) and GPC molecular weight (of non-di-block polymer) greater than 1.4 and having ratio between light scattering molecular weight molecular weight (of non-di-block polymer) and light scattering molecular weight molecular weight (of di-block polymer) greater than 5. The ratio between light scattering molecular weight MW (of non-di-block polymer) and light scattering molecular weight MW (of di-block polymer) also defines the number of arms for the hyper branched structure. The weight average molecular weight of each arm of the hyper-branched SBS block copolymer is less than about 100,000. These are multipurpose adhesives finding utility as packaging, labeling, construction and positioning adhesives, and are particularly well suited for use as elastic attachment adhesives in the manufacture of elastic-containing products, such as disposable absorbent elastic articles. | 08-19-2010 |

20130309427 | INTEGRAL HOT MELT ADHESIVE PACKAGING FILMS AND USE THEREOF - Propylene polymer based packaging films for encapsulating hot melt adhesives are disclosed. The packaging films are readily miscible with the various hot melt adhesive chemistries during the melting stage without deleteriously affecting the adhesive properties, making the packaging film particularly well suited for packaging hot melt adhesives in a pillow, cylinder, pouch, block, cartridge and like forms. | 11-21-2013 |
20130317193 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING FLOWABLE AMORPHOUS POLY-ALPHA OLEFIN ADHESIVE PELLETS - The present invention relates to a process for producing free-flowing, agglomeration resistant amorphous poly-alpha-olefin based adhesive pellets. The process includes (a) extruding the adhesive through an orifice of a die plate immersed in a cooling fluid; (b) cutting the adhesive into a plurality of pellets in the cooling fluid; (c) solidifying the pellets at a temperature range of about 25° C. to about 40° C. for at least 30 minutes; and (d) separating the pellets from the recrystallization fluid and drying the pellets. The pellets harden at least three folds faster than conventionally formed pellets. | 11-28-2013 |
