| 20100227077 | BRUSH POLYMER COATING BY IN SITU POLYMERIZATION FROM PHOTOREACTIVE SURFACE - The invention provides compositions that include crosslinking agents having multiple photoactivatable groups, such as diaryl ketones, or a diaryl ketone, such as benzophenone, and at least one polymerizable monomer, such as a zwitterionic monomer. The compositions are useful as surface coating agents that provide brush type polymeric coatings. These polymeric coatings can be used on medical devices, such as artificial joints, to reduce wear and tear between the components of the joint and thus reduce or eliminate debris generated by friction between the joint components. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110020917 | NANOFIBERS CONTAINING LATENT REACTIVE GROUPS - A nanofiber is formed by combining one or more natural or synthetic polymeric materials and one or more than one cross-linking agents having at least two latent reactive activatable groups. The latent reactive activatable nanofiber may be used to modify the surface of a substrate by activating at least one of the latent reactive activatable groups to bond the nanofiber to the surface by the formation of a covalent bond between the surface of the substrate and the latent reactive activatable group. Some of the remaining latent reactive activatable group(s) are left accessible on the surface of the substrate, and may be used for further surface modification of the substrate. Biologically active materials may be immobilized on the nanofiber modified surface by reacting with the latent reactive groups that are accessible on the surface of the substrate. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20080268233 | NANOTEXTURED SUPER OR ULTRA HYDROPHOBIC COATINGS - The invention describes compositions that include a polymer having a water contact angle of between about 120° and about 150° or greater adhered to a | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100081750 | Nanotextured Surfaces - The invention describes novel compositions that include a cross linking compound, a polymer and a 1 nm to about a 25 micron sized particle optionally with an oxide layer. In particular, the particle is a silica and one which has been pretreated with a silane. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100274012 | Photochemical Crosslinkers for Polymer Coatings and Substrate Tie-Layer - The invention describes novel crosslinking compounds that include photoactivatable moieties. Several families of compounds are disclosed that can include one or more hydrophilic moieties that help to solubilize the compounds in aqueous environments. | 10-28-2010 |
