Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cell membrane-mimicking brush polymer having surface properties mimicking a cell membrane and a self-assembly capability by means of a cell membrane mimicking functional group introduced to a brush terminal, and a method for preparing same.
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions are described that significantly improve the adhesion of polymer overmold compositions to metal substrates in polymer-metal junctions. The adhesive compositions include one or more poly(aryl ether) polymers, where each of the poly(aryl ether) polymers is, independently, a poly(aryl ether sulfone) polymer or a poly(aryl ether ketone) polymer. The overmold composition includes at least one poly(aryl ether ketone) polymer. Polymer-Metal junctions can be formed by, for example, dip-coating, spin-coating, extruding, or injection molding the adhesive composition and/or the overmold composition onto the metal substrate. Desirable applications settings for the polymer-metal junctions described include, but are not limited to electrical wiring.

Abstract:
Described herein are methods of coating both metallic and polymeric surfaces adding hydrophilicity comprising the steps mixing a coating composition comprising at least one polyol, at least one compound having at least two isocyanate groups, and an organic solvent; introducing nucleophilic functional groups on the surface thereby creating an active surface; subjecting the active surface to the coating composition thereby forming a coated surface; and curing the coated surface. Medical devices, for example, implantable medical devices can be coated by the methods described herein.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a mold-releasing agent comprising, as active ingredients, a graft copolymer (A) in which a polyalkylene glycol or an alkyl ether thereof is graft-copolymerized with a polyfluoro-1-alkene represented by the general formula: CnF2n+1(CH2CF2)a(CF2CF2)bCH═CH2 (wherein n is an integer of 1 to 6, a is an integer of 1 to 4, and b is an integer of 1 to 3), and a polyfluoroalkylphosphonic acid represented by the general formula: CnF2n+1(CH2CF2)a(CF2CF2)b(CH2CH2)cP(O)(OH)2 (wherein n is an integer of 1 to 6, a is an integer of 1 to 4, and b is an integer of 1 to 3, and c is an integer of 1 to 3) or a salt thereof (B). The mold-releasing agent comprises, as an active ingredient, a compound having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 6 or less carbon atoms, which is said to have low bioaccumulation potential, and having mold release performance equivalent to or more than that of a mold-releasing agent comprising a compound having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 8 or more carbon atoms as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an extended release composition of paliperidone for oral administration comprising paliperidone and at least one matrixing agent. The said extended release composition maintains desired therapeutic drug effect over a prolonged period of time and thereby reduces the side effects resulting due to excess drug blood plasma concentration. Further, the invention also relates to process for the preparation of an extended release oral composition of paliperidone.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a surface coating sliding member made of rubber or plastic applied with a coating of excellent durability and high sliding property, in which the coating contains a solid lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide and a resin matrix, wherein the resin matrix comprises a fluoro-olefin vinyl ether polymer resin and/or fluoro-olefin vinyl ether vinyl ester copolymer.
