In one embodiment, the invention relates to a rigid computer mouse pad having a flocked 'mousing' surface and a non-slip underside. The non-slip underside can be a second flocked surface.
The present invention is directed to a flocked article and method for forming the flocked article in which a surface to be flocked is first roughened to provide a stronger bond with the flock adhesive. The flocked article includes a plurality of flock fibers adhered directly, or as an assembly containing flock, to an adhesive that is also adhered to a roughened surface of a material. The method of forming the flocked article can include forming a flocked article by contacting a laser-ablated roughened surface of a material with an adhesive that binds the material to a plurality of flock fibers or a flocked containing assembly containing a plurality of flock fibers.

PROCESS FOR HEAT SETTING POLYESTER FIBERS FOR SUBLIMATION PRINTING
The processes and articles of the present invention use thermally stable and loft retentive polymers in sublimation printed flock fibers, which are particularly attractive for forming molded and heat laminated articles. The process and articles use high, medium and low energy dyes on the fibers. A preferred polymer for use in the fibers is poly(cyclohexylene- dimethylene terephthalate). The fibers are heat set before sublimation printing.
