International Classification:

B29B007/28

US Classification:

366/076700, 366/084000

Abstract:

A method for evaluating and controlling a mixing process for polymer-based compounds includes the steps: obtaining initial starting conditions and values for viscosity dependent parameters; increasing batch temperature by a differential amount; calculating mixing parameters such as batch temperature, dispersion, viscosity, and torque based upon fundamental kinetic, thermodynamic, and Theological models; determining whether an endpoint or end points of one or more mixing parameters has been achieved; and changing one or more conditions so as to achieve the desired endpoint(s).

B29C 61/00

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a dual layer heat shrink tube having: an inner polymeric layer with a thickness tand an outer diameter D; and an outer, expanded polymeric layer with a thickness t′ and an outer diameter D′ obtained by expanding a polymer tube from Dto D′ and tto t′ at a selected temperature so that D′−2(t′)>D, wherein a ring cut from a cross-section of the dual layer heat shrink tube, slit into a rectangle and gripped at cut ends by tension grips within a DMA, and subjected to a temperature sweep of 3 C./min at a frequency of 1 Hz from the onset of a melting endotherm of the inner polymeric layer to that of the outer, expanded polymeric layer is greater than 1 C. and less than 12 C. The disclosure further provides associated methods for preparing and using such tubes, as well as to products comprising such tubes.

A61L 31/14
A61L 31/16

Abstract:

Methods for preparing oriented polymer tubes, such as biodegradable polymer tubes suitable for in vivo use, are provided herein. The disclosed methods provide alternatives to the typical extrusion/expansion methods by which oriented polymeric tubes for such uses are commonly produced. Advantageously, the disclosed methods can provide more homogeneous molecular orientation of crystallizable polymers within the tube walls, which can endow such polymeric tubes with enhanced strength (e.g., resistance to compression) and toughness.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A method for enhancing/accelerating the depolymerization of polymers (e.g., those containing hydrolyzable linkages) is described herein. The disclosed method generally involves contacting a polymer comprising hydrolyzable linkages with a solvent and an alcohol to give a polymer mixture in which the polymer is substantially dissolved, wherein the contacting is conducted at a temperature at or below the boiling point of the polymer mixture. A resulting depolymerized polymer can be separated therefrom (including, e.g., monomers and/or oligomers). Such methods can be conducted under relatively mild temperature and pressure conditions.
