20150144522 | NUCLEATION AND DESTABILIZATION OF LIQUIDS ON LIQUID-IMPREGNATED SURFACES - A container for housing a contact liquid includes a liquid-impregnated surface in contact with a contact liquid. The liquid-impregnated surface includes a first surface having a first roll off angle. A plurality of solid features are disposed on the first surface, such that a plurality of interstitial regions are defined between the plurality of solid features. An impregnating liquid is disposed in the interstitial regions and the interstitial regions are configured such that that the impregnating liquid is retained in the interstitial regions by capillary forces. The impregnating liquid disposed in the interstitial regions defines a second surface having a second roll off angle less than the first roll off angle. The container further includes a nucleation mechanism configured to nucleate and destabilize a film of the contact liquid disposed on the liquid-impregnated surface, such that the film of the contact liquid can be rapidly removed from the container. | 05-28-2015 |

20140314975 | METHODS AND ARTICLES FOR LIQUID-IMPREGNATED SURFACES WITH ENHANCED DURABILITY - Embodiments described herein relate generally to devices, systems and methods for producing liquid impregnated surfaces with enhanced durability. In some embodiments, a liquid-impregnated surface includes a first surface having a first roll off angle. A plurality of solid features are disposed on the first surface, such that a plurality of interstitial regions are defined between the plurality of solid features. An impregnating liquid is disposed in the interstitial regions. Furthermore, the interstitial regions are dimension and configured such that that the surface remains impregnated by the impregnating liquid. The impregnating liquid disposed in the interstitial regions defines a second surface which has a second roll off angle less than the first roll off angle. The apparatus also includes a liquid delivery mechanism configured to transfer the impregnating liquid to the interstitial regions. | 10-23-2014 |

20120184681 | Low Temperature Curable Adhesive Compositions - The present invention is concerned with curable adhesive compositions for anchoring elements in a structural body that exhibit low temperature versus standard temperature degree of cures that are at least 50% or higher. The compositions include, in a first component, a reactive resin, an acetoacetoxy functional monomer and a silane monomer. By using phthalate-free constituents in the formulation, a further 10% increase in strength and durability of the resins at standard temperatures may be realized after curing at low temperatures. | 07-19-2012 |

20150020965 | Low Temperature Curable Adhesive Compositions - The present disclosure is concerned with improved curable adhesive compositions for anchoring elements in a structural body that exhibit low temperature versus standard temperature degree of cures that are at least 50% or higher. The compositions include, in a first portion, a reactive resin, an acetoacetoxy functional monomer and a silane monomer. By using phthalate-free constituents in the formulation, a further 10% increase in strength and durability of the resins at standard temperatures may be realized after curing at low temperatures. Improvements in the adhesive compositions that relate to increased shelf life are also presented. | 01-22-2015 |
