20130206231 | ELECTRON-DEFICIENT FLUOROUS PORPHYRINS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND THEIR USE IN ORGANIC SOLAR CELLS - Electron-deficient fluorous porphyrin molecules may have dual functions of light harvesting and electron accepting or donating and may be ideally suited for use in organic solar cells. Methods of making electron-deficient fluorous porphyrin molecules are described. | 08-15-2013 |
20130115259 | POLYMERIC SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERING HYPOHALIDE SALTS - The invention relates to polymeric systems for stabilizing, storing and delivering hypohalide salts. One system consists of material coated with two layers: one prepared from polyethylene glycol epoxide and melamine solution and second prepared from inorganic hypohalide salt solution. The material can be fabric, cotton, bamboo, cellulosic materials, blend of cellulosic and synthetic fibres. Antimicrobial materials comprising this system are also described. Another system consists of material containing pre-formed spaces coated with water-polyethylene glycol solution of hypohalide salt and encapsulated by film forming polymer. Hypohalide salts within both systems are in some cases storage stable for at least three months. | 05-09-2013 |
20130101963 | RECHARGEABLE LONG-TERM ANTIFUNGAL DENTURE MATERIALS - Polymers and copolymers including a functional polymer component may be used as conventional denture materials. Antifungal materials may be releasably bound to the functional polymer component such that the antifungal materials may be slowly eluted over an extended period of time to combat a fungal infection. | 04-25-2013 |
20120208989 | FLUORINATED AROMATIC MATERIALS AND THEIR USE IN OPTOELECTRONICS - Fluorinated aromatic materials, their synthesis and their use in optoelectronics. In some cases, the fluorinated aromatic materials are perfluoroalkylated aromatic materials that may include perfluoropolyether substituents. | 08-16-2012 |
20090324536 | ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMERS AND COATINGS - Biocidal compounds have been synthesized and tested. These biocidal compounds have broad-spectrum efficacy and their biocidal properties are easily renewable. Illustrative examples of these biocidal compounds include N-halamine monomers and polymers and silver sulfadiazine polymers. These compounds can be used to add biocidal function to various materials and articles. | 12-31-2009 |
