| 20110091658 | OMNIDIRECTIONAL STRUCTURAL COLOR PAINT - A paint composition is disclosed, the paint having a binder and an omnidirectional structural color pigment dispersed throughout the binder. The omnidirectional structural color pigment can be made from a plurality of flakes that have a multilayer structure, the pigment and the paint having a reflection band of less than 200 nanometers when viewed from angles between 0 to 45 degrees. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20120153056 | PRODUCTION OF MULTILAYERED THIN FILM PARTICLES - A process for producing particles from a thin film is provided. The process includes grinding the thin film using granules that afford for the particles to maintain a structure and/or one or more properties of the thin film. In addition, the process provides for a high recovery percentage of the source material. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120153527 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A STAND-ALONE THIN FILM - A process for manufacturing stand-alone thin films is provided. The process includes providing a substrate, depositing a carbon-containing sacrificial layer onto the substrate and the depositing a thin film onto the carbon-containing sacrificial layer. Thereafter, the substrate, carbon-containing sacrificial layer and thin film structure are exposed to oxygen at an elevated temperature. The oxygen reacts with the carbon-containing sacrificial layer to produce carbon dioxide and remove carbon from the sacrificial layer, thereby generally burning away the sacrificial layer and affording for an intact stand-alone thin film to separate from the substrate. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120208923 | UV-STABILIZED PROTEIN-POLYMER COMPOSITIONS - Protein-polymer compositions and processes for their production are provided where the compositions have improved resistance to ultraviolet light induced weathering and associated loss of enzyme activity. The incorporation of both a sterically hindered amine and an ultraviolet light absorber at a concentration of at least 5% by weight produces a curable or cured composition with UV stabilized enzyme activity that can be used as a bioactive coating with improved stain removal properties. | 08-16-2012 |
| 20120252090 | HEAT RESISTANT BIOACTIVE COMPOSITION - A process for stabilizing a bioactive composition includes forming hydrogel matrix pores around protein molecules and reducing a water content within the hydrogel matrix pores while keeping the protein molecules biologically active. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20120256333 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A STAND-ALONE MULTILAYER THIN FILM - A process for manufacturing stand-alone multilayer thin films is provided. The process includes providing a substrate, depositing a sacrificial layer onto the substrate and the depositing multilayer thin film onto the sacrificial layer. Thereafter, the substrate, sacrificial layer and thin film structure are exposed to chemical solutions. The chemical solution selectively reacts with the sacrificial layer to remove the sacrificial layer, thereby affording for an intact multilayer stand-alone thin film to separate from the substrate. The color and optical properties of the multilayer thin film are not affected by the removal of the sacrificial layer. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20120276617 | Coatings Containing Polymer Modified Enzyme For Stable Self-Cleaning Of Organic Stains - Temporary active coatings that are stabilized against inactivation by weathering are provided including a base associated with a chemically modified enzyme, and, optionally a first polyoxyethylene present in the base and independent of the enzyme. The coatings are optionally overlayered onto a substrate to form an active coating facilitating the removal of organic stains or organic material from food, insects, or the environment. | 11-01-2012 |
| 20120301946 | THERMOLYSIN FOR EASY-CLEANING OF INSECT BODY STAINS - A substrate or coating is provided that includes a protease with enzymatic activity toward a component of a biological stain. Also provided is a process for facilitating the removal of a biological stain is provided wherein an inventive substrate or coating including a protease is capable of enzymatically degrading of one or more components of the biological stain to facilitate biological stain removal from the substrate or said coating. | 11-29-2012 |
