| 20090240000 | Modified Acrylic Block Copolymers For Hydrogels and Pressure Sensitive Wet Adhesives - A method of producing an acrylic block copolymer comprising hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methoacrylate), hydrophilic poly (lower alkyl methacrylic acid), and hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methacrylate). | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090247704 | Modified Acrylic Block Copolymers For Hydrogels and Pressure Sensitive Wet Adhesives - A method of producing an acrylic block copolymer comprising hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methoacrylate), hydrophilic poly (lower alkyl methacrylic acid), and hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methacrylate). | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090298999 | Modified Acrylic Block Copolymers For Hydrogels and Pressure Sensitive Wet Adhesives - A method of producing an acrylic block copolymer comprising hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methoacrylate), hydrophilic poly (lower alkyl methacrylic acid), and hydrophobic poly (lower alkyl methacrylate). | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100113828 | MULTI-ARMED CATECHOL COMPOUND BLENDS - The invention describes families of compounds that utilize multihydroxyl phenyl groups to provide adhesive properties. Selection of the multihydroxy phenyl group along with linkers or linking groups and the linkages between the linkers or linking groups with polyalkylene oxides, provides materials that can be engineered to afford controllable curing time, biodegradation and/or swelling. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100137902 | BIOADHESIVE CONSTRUCTS - The invention describes substrates, such as prosthetics, films, nonwovens, meshes, etc. that are treated with a bioadhesive. The bioadhesive includes polymeric substances that have phenyl moieties with at least two hydroxyl groups. The bioadhesive constructs can be used to treat and repair, for example, hernias and damaged tendons. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100137903 | BIOADHESIVE CONSTRUCTS - The invention describes substrates, such as prosthetics, films, nonwovens, meshes, etc. that are treated with a bioadhesive. The bioadhesive includes polymeric substances that have phenyl moieties with at least two hydroxyl groups. The bioadhesive constructs can be used to treat and repair, for example, hernias and damaged tendons. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100330025 | Surface Independent, Surface-Modifying, Multifunctional Coatings and Applications Thereof - The invention provides surface treatments that reduce or eliminate marine biofouling of various surfaces. A surface that is to be subjected to a marine environment can be treated with a mPEG-DOPA. The treated surface is thus rendered less susceptible to fouling of the surface. | 12-30-2010 |
