Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100284860MOLECULES SUITABLE FOR BINDING TO A METAL LAYER FOR COVALENTLY IMMOBILIZING BIOMOLECULES - An article is provided for immobilizing functional organic biomolecules (e.g. proteins, DNA, and the like) through a covalent bond to a thiolate or disulfide monolayer to a metal surface wherein an extra activation step of the surface layer or an activation step of the functional biomolecules or bioreceptors could be avoided. The monolayer can contain, but is not limited to, two moieties. One has a group that resists nonspecific adsorption and another has a group that directly (without activation) reacts with functional groups on the biomolecules. In addition, poly(ethylene oxide) groups are incorporated in the monolayer surfaces to resist the nonspecific adsorption and to enhance the specific affinity interactions. A sensor device including these monolayers is also provided to perform reproducible, sensitive, specific and stable bioanalysis.11-11-2010

20110089110FILLED POLYMERIC MEMBRANES, USE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A method of manufacturing a filled polymeric membrane includes a first step of preparing a filler suspension having a solvent for a glassy polymer and nanometre-sized particles. The nanometre-sized particles in the filler suspension are aggregated in aggregates having an average aggregate size in the range between 50 nm and smaller than 200 nm. In a following step, the glassy polymer is added to the filler suspension to obtain a polymer suspension. Next, the glassy polymer is dissolved in the polymer suspension. In a next step, the polymer suspension is cast on a substrate, followed by a step of removing the solvent. A filled polymeric membrane includes aggregates of nanometre-sized filler particles. The membrane is used in pervaporation and nanofiltration.04-21-2011

20080246193Bottles Prepared from Compositions of Polypropylene and Inorganic Nucleating Agents - This invention discloses bottles and pre-forms prepared by injection-stretch-blow-moulding (ISBM) from a composition comprising polypropylene and an inorganic non-sorbitol nucleating agent.10-09-2008
20110124798Heterophasic Propylene Copolymer with Improved Creep Behavior - The present invention concerns heterophasic propylene copolymers, comprising a propylene homopolymer (PPH) and an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR), having a very broad molecular weight distribution, a well-defined total ethylene content and a specific intrinsic viscosities of the ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR). The invention further concerns the process to produce such heterophasic propylene copolymers. The heterophasic propylene copolymers of the present invention are particularly suited for pails, pallets, IBCs and crates. In particular, the heterophasic propylene copolymers of the present invention are characterized by an improved resistance to creep.05-26-2011
