Abstract:
As described herein, a polyimide chemical composition may be used for coating glass articles. According to embodiments, a coated glass article may include a glass container which may include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a low-friction coating bonded to at least a portion of the first surface of the glass container. The low-friction coating may include a polyimide chemical composition. The polyimide chemical composition may be halogenated and the polyimide chemical composition may include a siloxane moiety.
Abstract:
A cell culture article includes a substrate having a polymer coating that is conducive to colony passaging of cells cultured on the coating. Example polymer coatings are formed from polygalacturonic acid (PGA), alginate, or combinations thereof. Cells cultured on the polymer coating can be separated from the substrate as a colony or layer of cells by exposing the polymer coating to (i) a chelating agent, (ii) a proteinase-free enzyme, or (iii) a chelating agent and a proteinase-free enzyme.
Abstract:
A label-free resonant waveguide grating biosensor imager system for measuring beat patterns and dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) signals of cultured cardiomyocytes in the absence and presence of a drug molecule. The disclosure also provides a method using the imager system for analyzing the beat patterns and the DMR signals of the cardiomyocytes to assess drug-induced cardiotoxicity.
Abstract:
A method of making a cell culture article is provided. The method includes forming a microcarrier from a microcarrier composition comprising a polygalacturonic acid compound or an alginic acid compound, infiltrating the microcarrier with a drying formulation to form an infiltrated microcarrier, and drying the infiltrated microcarrier to form a dried microcarrier, wherein the drying formulation comprises at least one of a saccharide and a monovalent cation.
Abstract:
A composition for allowing marking of a product, the composition comprising: (a) a volatile solvent; (b) a silicone resin comprising a trifunctional unit of formula (R)SiO3/2, wherein R is chosen, independently by trifunctional unit, from hydrocarbyl groups and hydroxyl groups, on the condition that at least one R is a hydrocarbyl group; and, (c) titanium dioxide particles having an average size of between approximately 100 nanometers and 1000 nanometers.
Abstract:
Described herein are polarizing articles and methods of making the same. The methods are useful in preparing polarizing articles having high durability and increased polarizing efficiency. The polarizing articles are useful in any article where it is desirable to reduce or remove glare.

Abstract:
Methods for limiting bleed-through of aqueous catalyst solutions in ceramic articles are described herein. The methods include applying a hydrophobic cellulose derivative, such as ethylcellulose, to an exterior surface of a fired porous ceramic article. The aqueous catalyst solution is applied to the fired porous ceramic article, such that the hydrophobic cellulose derivative limits bleed-through of the aqueous catalyst solution through at least a portion of the ceramic article. Ceramic articles with skins that limit bleed-through of aqueous catalyst solutions are also described herein.
Abstract:
According to one or more embodiments, a pharmaceutical package may include a glass container and a coating. The glass container may include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface may be an outer surface of the glass container. The coating may be positioned over at least a portion of the first surface of the glass container. The coating may include one or more polyimide compositions and one or more metal oxide compositions. The one or more polyimide compositions and the one or more metal oxide compositions may be mixed in the coating.
