There is disclosed an improved absorbable surgical suture. The suture is coated with an absorbable composition consisting essentially of a high molecular weight poly(alkylene oxide).

Multi-coated seeds having two or more coating layers, with the innermost coating layer containing a water repellent such as a fatty acid or a metal salt thereof in higher concentration than the other layer(s).

A coated fabric comprises a base ply of a fiber material such as a non-woven fiber material, for example, a polypropylene non-woven material, having a thermoplastic film, for example, an ethylene methyl acrylate film, bonded thereto. The base ply has densified and undensified portions thereof, the densified portions defining densified areas on a coating surface of the base ply, and the thermoplastic film is heat-bonded to the coating surface at least at the densified portions thereof. A method o...

A coated cloth, wherein a blend containing from 50 to 400 parts by weight of a hydroxide and more than 3 parts by weight of powdery fibers based on 100 parts by weight of a base polymer not containing halogen elements is coated on a cloth. The coated cloth is excellent in abrasion resistance and flame retardance, as well as releasing less smoke.

Coated lenses are provided that are suitable for optical and ophthalmic applications that include a coating for providing wear resistance and filtering of electromagnetic radiation in the range of from ultraviolet to about 500 nanometers or higher. The coating comprises carbon and hydrogen and is preferably formed by a glow discharge deposition process.

A body having a substrate surface which comprises corrodible material and on which substrate surface is present a coherent protective layer of an anti-corrosion composition which comprises a solid matrix of electrical conductivity .gtoreq.10.sup.-6 mho cm.sup.-1 and formed by reaction between at least water-soluble Bronsted acid and at least one Lewis base in which matrix is incorporated an elemental metal, or an alloy thereof, the matrix and metal being effective in service as electrolyte and s...

An article is coated with a multi-layer coating comprising a copper layer, a nickel layer, a chrome layer, a refractory metal layer, preferably zirconium layer, a sandwich layer comprised of alternating layers of a refractory metal compound and a refractory metal, a refractory metal compound layer, preferably zirconium nitride layer, and a refractory metal oxide layer or a layer comprised of the reaction products of refractory metal, oxygen and nitrogen. The coating provides the color of polishe...
