| 20110277952 | Lignite-Based Foundry Resins - Described herein, in the preferred embodiment, is a leonardite-based polyurethane resin binder that may be used, among other applications, as a binder in combination with foundry aggregate, e.g., sand, for molding or casting metal parts. The binders described herein comprise a humic substance, preferably leonardite, combined with a polymerizable polyol, an isocyanate, and a polymerization catalyst to make a polyurethane resin binder in situ in a foundry aggregate, such as sand. The lignite is mixed with the polymerizable polyol and dispersing agents as additives to improve the suspension quality and binder performance of the lignite-containing part of the binder components. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20100272769 | Virus-, Bacteria-, and Fungi-Interacting Layered Phyllosilicates and Methods of Use - Layered phyllosilicates are useful for adsorbing and/or binding to and, thereby, inactivating viruses, bacteria and fungi. Accordingly, provided herein are methods of inactivating a virus, bacteria or fungus and methods of treating a viral, bacterial or fungal infection. Methods of delivering a therapeutic agent to a mammalian subject and methods of inactivating a virus in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal are also provided. | 10-28-2010 |
