Abstract:

This invention concerns coatings having high surface area materials and at least one metal ion adsorbed onto the high surface area material as well as substrates having the coating and methods of applying the coating. The substrates may be films, woven fabrics or may be nonwoven fabrics. The coatings have good odor and/or gas absorbing capabilities. Nonwoven fabrics include tissues, towels, coform materials, bonded carded webs, spunbond fabrics and so forth. The substrates may be made into storage and packaging material to reduce odor and retard the ripening of fruit. The substrates may be used in personal care products, to produce clothing for military and civilian applications and many other applications.

International Classification:

G02B 26/00

US Classification:

359296, 345107

Abstract:

A first electro-optic display comprises first and second substrates, and an adhesive layer and a layer of electro-optic material disposed between the first and second substrates, the adhesive layer comprising a mixture of a polymeric adhesive material and a hydroxyl containing polymer having a number average molecular weight not greater than about 5000. A second electro-optic display is similar to the first but has an adhesive layer comprising a thermally-activated cross-linking agent to reduce void growth when the display is subjected to temperature changes.

International Classification:

C09K 11/06
C09K 11/02

US Classification:

25230135, 428407, 25230116

Abstract:

There is provided herein cross-linked, phosphorescent micro- and nano-particles and applications of those particles. The invention uses halogen-containing polymers and co-polymers (HCPs) as an encapsulation matrix for organic and organometallic phosphorescent compounds to form micro- or nano-particles. The phosphorescence of these encapsulated phosphorescent particles is substantially unaffected by phosphorescence quenchers such as oxygen and water molecules at ambient conditions. The invention provides methods of making cross-linked phosphorescent particles. HCPs may be directly cross-linked through linking moieties that are a part of the polymer, or cross-linked through other separate bridging or cross-linking materials Cross-linked particles are more stable than the non-cross-linked counterparts and more resistant to temperature, surfactants, and organic solvents.

International Classification:

B32B 5/16

US Classification:

428403, 428407, 428328

Abstract:

The invention involves encapsulation of phosphorescent molecules in polymeric matrices to prevent phosphorescence quenching. Specifically, polymers containing a significant portion of halogens have been found to be good matrices for encapsulation of phosphorescent molecules to provide strong phosphorescence at ambient conditions. Those encapsulated phosphorescent molecules can find a wide variety of applications for detection of many species, including biological and chemical molecules as well as micro-organisms.

US Classification:

359296, 345107, 430 32

Abstract:

A two-phase electrophoretic medium comprises a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase. The discontinuous phase comprises a plurality of droplets, each of which comprises a suspending fluid and at least one particle disposed within the suspending fluid and capable of moving through the fluid upon application of an electric field to the electrophoretic medium. The continuous phase surrounds and encapsulates the discontinuous phase. To reduce the humidity sensitivity of the medium, a non-ionizable or crystalline polymer may be used as the continuous phase.

Abstract:

A method for reducing odor is provided. The method comprises forming a coordination complex between a transition metal and a polydentate compound, and contacting the coordinated complex with an odorous compound. The transition metal provides one or more active sites for capturing the odorous compound. In some embodiments, the polydentate compound may be a polyalkylimine, such as polyethyleneimine, polypropyleneimine, or a dendrimer thereof.
