Hair Weave Thread that is Conveniently Removable via Solvent-Catalyzed Stress Cracking

This disclosure concerns improved polymeric thread for use in hair braiding. The novel threads used for this purpose are polymers that are stretched more than 10% during application as hair weave threads. Removal of the stretched threads is easily accomplished by applying a few drops of removal solvent or solution such as acetone to the extended thread, which breaks into short pieces that can easily be removed from hair with a brush, comb or by shampooing. This is highly advantageous compared to prior art hair weave threads, which must typically be cut to remove them from the hair, which both slows the removal process and introduces collateral hair damage, as some hairs are also accidentally cut when the prior art non-elastomeric hair weave threads are cut to remove them from the hair. The breaking of the extended threads is also much faster than the time required to dissolve the threads, and represents a new mechanism entirely for removing weave threads from hair. 1. An improved thread useful for temporarily binding fibers together by being sewn or woven in with said fibers , so that the thread is under stress while binding said fibers together , wherein said thread cracks within a minute of application of a small amount of a removal solution.2.

Polymer interlayers comprising epoxidized vegetable oil

An interlayer comprised of a thermoplastic resin, varying amounts of an epoxidized vegetable oil, and, optionally, a conventional plasticizer. The use of a thermoplastic resin, an epoxidized vegetable (plant) oil, and, optionally, a conventional plasticizer creates synergy allowing the flow of the interlayer to be increased without sacrificing other characteristics typically associated with an increased flow (e.g., increased blocking and creep, exudation, surface roughness formation, decreased mechanical strength, and decreased manufacturing capability). In this regard, the epoxidized vegetable oil acts as a flow improvement agent, resulting in a high-flow interlayer. As a result, a thinner interlayer can be utilized in forming multiple layer panels because the resulting thinner interlayer has improved flow properties.
