support material Explanation: Search "polymer support film" and "polymer support material"; it may be of help. Here is a website that uses "support" in a patent regarding this very item. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0305052.html Description:Artificial Skin and Method for its Production The present invention relates to an artificial skin which is useful as a covering material for burn wounds, external wounds, etc., suffered by humans and other animals, as well as to a method for the production of such an artificial skin. A number of materials are known in the art as artificial skin or wound-covering materials which may be temporarily used to cover a burn wound, external wound, etc., in order to prevent the loss of body fluids, in order to prevent bacterial infection, etc., and thus promote healing. This type of artificial skin typically consists of a polymer support film and a fibrous material which is installed on the polymer support film, and it is applied and attached on the skin surface by laying it on the affected region in such a manner that the fibrous material is brought into contact with the wound surface. The use of bioabsorbable substances as the fibrous material has recently been proposed and developed. With regard to such an artificial skin in which a bioabsorbable fibrous material is placed on the polymer support film, a number of advantages appear because the fibrous material is absorbed by the organism during wound healing, and newly formed epidermis is not damaged when the polymer support film is peeled off after the formation of new epidermis, and post-treatment is simplified. With regard to methods for the production of prior artificial skin using a bioabsorbable fibrous material, as depicted in Figures 2 and 3, polymer support film 2, on which the fibrous material 3 will be installed, is prepared by forming a layer of a support film material, for example, an uncured silicone rubber, etc., which is capable of curing to form the polymer support film 2, on the releasable surface of a releasable protective film 1 (which is peeled and removed prior to the time of application). The bioabsorbable fibrous material 3 is arranged on and press-adhered into this layer of support film material in such a manner that part of the fibrous material is embedded within the layer of support film material, and the layer of support film material is then cured in this condition. However, bioabsorbable fibrous material 3 cannot easily be properly installed on the polymer support film 2 by methods as described above. In the step in which fibrous material 3 is press-adhered into the layer of support film material which will ultimately be cured to form the polymer support film 2, the magnitude of the force of application must be strictly regulated, even though such control is relatively difficult. As shown in Figure 2, when the force of application is excessive, the fibrous material 3 entirely penetrates the layer of support film material and is exposed on the surface S of the polymer support film 2 covered with protective film 1. Under such conditions, the artificial skin cannot exercise its expected function due to too small a thickness t of section 3A, which is the actual functional portion of fibrous material 3. Furthermore, a high strength cannot be obtained on the part of such a polymer support film 2 because the interposition of the fibrous material within polymer support film 2 causes it to become a material which is easily ruptured when stretched. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, when the application pressure is too low, the fibrous material 3 is only slightly embedded in the layer of support film material, and the embedding depth d of fibrous material 3 across the thickness of polymer support film 2 will be small. In such an artificial skin, fibrous material 3 is only weakly unified with polymer support film 2, raising the possibility that the former will tear from the polymer support film 2 during its use. The value of t for section 3A, the actual functional element of fibrous material 3, is large, and a large gap is thus formed between polymer support film 2 and the treated skin surface, which raises the risk of infection. As a consequence, such a structure cannot achieve the desired functions of an artificial skin. The present invention was developed in view of the preceding circumstances, and has as one object the introduction of an artificial skin which has a satisfactorily high strength because the bioabsorbable fibrous material is ideally installed in the polymer support film, and in which the fibrous material reliably performs its expected functions. A second object of the present invention is to introduce a simple and reliable method for the production of artificial skin in which the bioabsorbable fibrous material is ideally installed in the polymer support film. |

Mejor respuesta - Elegida por la comunidad Las cintas autoadhesivas se componen de dos elementos principales: el soporte y el adhesivo. Los soportes pueden ser película de plástico, tela, papel, hoja metálica fina u otros materiales que proporcionen un soporte flexible para la masa adhesiva. Existen dos clases de cintas autoadhesivas: las que están hechas con goma (natural o sintética) y las fabricadas con polímeros sintéticos, como son los acrílicos. Los elementos constitutivos primordiales de estas cintas son los elastómeros, los agentes adhesivos y los plastificantes.
