Title: Procede de production de poudre submicronique de polytetrafluoroethylene et produits ainsi obtenus

IPC: C08J3/28
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de production de poudre submicronique de polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE) fluide se dispersant facilement. On place dans un solvant spécifique le matériau de départ à base de PTFE irradié, et on lui fait subir une pulvérisation jusqu'à obtenir des particules de PTFE de calibre submicronique. Ces particules submicroniques sont alors récupérées dans le solvant et séchées pour former une poudre dont les particules présentent un calibre inférieur à 1,00 ñm. La poudre de PTFE sèche se prête alors facilement à une dispersion en calibre submicronique dans un système d'application spécifique. La poudre de PTFE submicronique selon ce procédé est fluide, se disperse facilement dans divers systèmes d'application, n'a pas tendance à partir en poussière ni à s'agglomérer spontanément. L'invention permet également la formation de dispersions aqueuses et organiques améliorées de particules de PTFE qui font preuve d'une stabilité accrue et demandent bien moins d'agitation que les autres procédés de formation de telles dispersions. De telles dispersions améliorées de PTFE peuvent se former avec ou sans adjonction de tensioactifs, d'agents mouillants, de modificateurs de rhéologie, de correcteurs de pH, et analogues.

According to the invention, the panel is composed of thermoplastic fibers forming a nonwoven fabric particularly having double crossed, randomized and thermally bonded webs , pressed under heating to cause a partial 'melting' of the fibers, i.e. at least a partial loss of their fibrous phase and change into a viscous or viscoelastic phase, the relative distributions of the fraction of fibers that retain the fibrous phase and the fraction of plastic material that took the viscous or viscoelastic state depending on the depth thereof in the sheet thickness. The invention further relates to a formed, especially a highly embossed panel made of a thermoformable plastic material. The latter may be an intermediate semifinished product of a starting material. The invention also relates to a method for fabricating highly embossed panel. Particularly, the invention relates to a formed, especially a highly embossed panel and to the method for fabrication thereof, which highly embossed panel finds use in the automotive, naval, aerospace, railway and building industries, for the fabrication of interior or exterior coverings or structural members.

Abstract: Dans un mode de réalisation illustratif, la présente invention concerne un appareil de déploiement de stent possédant d'excellentes caractéristiques de sécurité et de mise en place et de déploiement de stent. Un appareil de déploiement de stent selon la présente invention peut faciliter la mise en place précise de stents de manière sure et pouvant être répétée. En particulier, un appareil de déploiement préféré permet au médecin de se concentrer sur la mise en place correcte, sans avoir à estimer l'ampleur du déploiement, du fait de la présence d'un mécanisme de sécurité physique qui limite le déploiement jusqu'au point de déploiement critique. De plus, un indicateur sonore et / ou tactile informe le médecin qu'au-delà de ce seuil, il ne pourra plus rétracter le stent. Le fil guide dudit appareil de déploiement de stent peut être étendu, au lieu du recours à la rétraction du cathéter externe pour mettre le stent en place. La pointe distale est en outre conçue pour guider confortablement l'appareil de déploiement dans un passage lésé ou occlus si bien que le stent peut être déposé à l'emplacement le plus bénéfique. Ladite pointe distale facilite également le retrait de l'appareil de déploiement, même si un stent défectueux présente une extension radiale seulement partielle. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, ledit appareil de déploiement de stent permet l'introduction d'un instrument optique pour faciliter la mise en place du stent.
