Abstract
A method of treating a wearable device to resist sebum, the method including providing a body having an elastic material having a polymeric backbone where a portion of the polymeric backbone is unsaturated and the body has an outer surface. The method further includes forming a crosslinked matrix within an outer layer of the body surrounding an inner layer of the body such that the outer layer has less affinity to sebum than the inner layer of the body.
Claims10
A method of treating a wearable device to resist sebum, the method comprising:
- providing a body comprising an elastic material having a polymeric backbone, wherein a portion of the polymeric backbone is unsaturated, the body having an outer surface;
- and
- forming a crosslinked matrix within an outer layer of the body surrounding an inner layer of the body such that the outer layer has less affinity to sebum than the inner layer of the body and at least part of the outer layer is configured to provide an acoustic seal.
A method of treating a wearable device to resist sebum, the method comprising:
- providing a body comprising an elastic material having a polymeric backbone, wherein a portion of the polymeric backbone is unsaturated, the body having an outer surface;
- and
- forming a crosslinked matrix within an outer layer of the body surrounding an inner layer of the body such that the outer layer has less affinity to sebum than the inner layer of the body;
- wherein the crosslinked matrix is generated on at least one selected portion within the outer layer of the body such that the at least one selected portion has less affinity to sebum than at least another portion of the outer layer of the body.
