Abstract:
Amide-containing polymers characterized by the presence of piperazine amide and/or substituted piperazine amide in the polymer chain are used as adsorbents to remove polyphenolic compounds from liquids. The compositions are especially useful in combination with protein removal agents such as silica gel or tannin. The amide-containing polymer compositions (alone or in combination with protein removal agents) are especially useful in the stabilization and/or chillproofing of plant derived liquids or beverages such as beer, wine, fruit juice and vegetable juice.

Abstract:
An inorganic oxide coating produced by preparing a coating composition comprising inorganic oxide particles and a polymer, applying the composition on a substrate to form a coating, and heating the substrate to remove the polymeric component, wherein the resulting coating is transparent.
Abstract:
A basic aluminum composition comprising an empirical formula: Al2(OH)6—aXa where 0.5≦a≦5.0, and X is an anion of nitrogen; and wherein the composition possesses an NMR spectrum in which a −40 to +40 ppm resonance line comprises at least 60% of the total area of the NMR spectrum.
Abstract:
Formulations comprising novel porous metal oxide particles and binder are particularly suitable for ink receptive coatings, e.g., for ink jet papers and films. The metal oxide particles used in this application have a porous structure that differs significantly from the nonporous silica colloids. The particles have a median particle size in the range of about 0.05 to about 3 microns and porosity such that when an aqueous dispersion of the particles is dried at least 0.5 cc/g of pore volume is from pores having a pore size of 600 Å or less. The particles also have a viscosity derived pore volume of at least 0.5 cc/g.
