The parts of the multilayer film test module as illustrated in Fig. 29 are described as follows In the sample port the sample is introduced into the test module. The spreader consists of a plastic grid which ensures a uniform spreading of the applied sample. The film chip contains three layers coated onto a polyester film base. The optical window permits the fluorescent signal from the multilayer film to be read by the fluorimeter of the analyzer. 

Copper foil is adhered to polyester film based flexible circuitry with a thermoplastic polyester adhesive. This produces a bond having lower operating temperature than the other adhesives cited. When polyimide film such as DuPont s Kapton is used as the high temperature flexible circuit substrate, a thermoplastic FEP Teflon coating or epoxy, acrylic, or polyimide adhesive is used to bond the foil.

In other areas, POD has been used to improve the wear resistance of a mbber latex binder by incorporation of 25% of Oksalon fibers. Heat-resistant laminate films, made by coating a polyester film with POD, have been used as electrical insulators and show good resistance to abrasion and are capable of 126% elongation. In some instances, thin sheets of PODs have been used as mold release agents. For this appHcation a resin is placed between the two sheets of POD, which is then pressed in a mold, and the sheets simply peel off from the object and mold after the resin has cured. POD-based membranes exhibit salt rejection properties and hence find potential as reverse osmosis membranes in the purification of seawater. PODs have also been used in the manufacturing of electrophotographic plates as binders between the toner and plate. These improved binders produce sharper images than were possible before. 

Sihcone products dominate the pressure-sensitive adhesive release paper market, but other materials such as Quilon (E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc.), a Werner-type chromium complex, stearato chromic chloride [12768-56-8] are also used. Various base papers are used, including polyethylene-coated kraft as well as polymer substrates such as polyethylene or polyester film. Sihcone coatings that cross-link to form a film and also bond to the cellulose are used in various forms, such as solvent and solventless dispersions and emulsions. Technical requirements for the coated papers include good release, no contamination of the adhesive being protected, no blocking in roUs, good solvent holdout with respect to adhesives appHed from solvent, and good thermal and dimensional stabiUty (see Silicon COMPOUNDS, silicones). 

Besides DNA adsorption driven by a positive potential (electrostatic adsorption) DNA was also wet-adsorbed at an open circuit on a home-made polystyrene-based carbon ink [110]. This ink was prepared by a 2 3 mixture of polystyrene and graphite particles in mesitylene, and then printed on a polyester film. DNA was wef-adsorbed over the ink at 37 °C overnight. The nature of the electrode surface (graphite particles embedded in a polystyrene... 

Transparent polyester films such as Mylar (Du Pont) are much stronger than most other plastic films. However, Mylar is not as resistant to oxidizing agents and bases as are polyolefin films. 

These films can be based on Teflon (DuPont, Wilmington, Delaware) film, polypropylene, or Mylar (DuPont, Wilmington, Delaware) polyester film. These release materials are normally used where the surface of the material must be free of any contamination and defects. An example of the application is in the preparation of test sheets for determining mechanical properties.

The reagent layer comprises all the components required for completing the reaction. It is uniformly coated on the support base, to which it is affixed by a water-soluble polymeric binder. The sample extends uniformly over the reagents, thus enabling the reaction to take place. The chemicals within the reagent layer vary with the analyte being measured. The support base material is a polyester film, of the same type as the films used for photography, with a smooth and uniform surface.
