Filed:

Mar 14, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/525709

Inventors:

Miriam Rafailovich - Plainview NY
Jonathan Sokolov - Plainview NY
Shaoming Zhu - Stony Brook NY
Benjamin Chu - Setauket NY

Assignee:

The Research Foundation at State University of New York - Stony Brook NY

International Classification:

C08K 334

US Classification:

524445

Abstract:

The present invention is polymer blend, which includes at least two immiscible polymers, and a compatibilizer used to produce a substantially homogeneous blend. The compatibilizer is a functionalized nanocomposite which prevents segregation of the polymer components in the polymer blend. The nanocomposites are formed by combining an organoclay and an intercalation agent. The intercalation agent is a reaction product of a polyamine functionalized with an alkyl halide in a polar solvent. The compatibilized blends are used in thin films, which are especially useful in microlithographic applications and as lubricants in low tolerance magnetic disks.

US Classification:

221277, 221208

Abstract:

Currently, pharmaceutical tablets are distributed in bottles that must be opened and closed; the pill-dispenser presented here aims to simplify the process for taking pills by releasing a tablet at the click of a button. Additional features of the dispenser are child-resistant capabilities, which may be considered a distinct claim, and use of click-pen mechanisms; furthermore, it can be used as a conventional open/close medication bottle, but doing so will disable its dispensing function. The purpose of this document is to lawfully protect future work on the design, development, and production of this device.
