Abstract:
A multiple-part curable composition, a cured composition formed by combining and reacting the multiple-part curable composition, and a method of providing a cured composition are described. The multiple-part curable composition contains at least a part A and a part B. Part A contains an oxalamido-containing compound while part B contains a derivatized polyethylene imine. The cured composition is an adhesive that is suitable for use as a tissue adhesive.
Abstract:
The composition includes a polysiloxane having at least one of a phosphate or phosphonate group and an amino-functional compound having at least one silane group. The method includes treating the metal surface with a composition including a polysiloxane functionalized with at least one of a phosphate or phosphonate group. The method can include first treating the metal surface with a primer composition including an amino-functional compound having at least one silane group or including an amino-functional compound having at least one silane group in the composition with the polysiloxane. Certain polysiloxanes functionalized with at least one of a phosphate or phosphonate group are also described.
Abstract:
Film forming gel compositions, useful in creating conformable and flexible gel bandages, can be formulate from a film-forming polymer, a tackifier, and a volatile solvent. The film forming gels can also include antiseptics, cationic polymer coagulants, fillers, and other additives. The gel compositions form relatively thick films when dried on tissue, and can exhibit enhanced breathability to promote wound healing.
Abstract:
An article that can be used for biomaterial capture comprises (a) a porous substrate; and (b) borne on the porous substrate, a polymer comprising interpolymerized units of at least one monomer consisting of (1) at least one monovalent ethylenically unsaturated group, (2) at least one monovalent ligand functional group selected from acidic groups, basic groups other than guanidino, and salts thereof, and (3) a multivalent spacer group that is directly bonded to the monovalent groups so as to link at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and at least one ligand functional group by a chain of at least six catenated atoms.

Abstract:
A block copolymer is provided that includes a first block having pendant phosphate and/or phosphonate groups and a second block that contains pendant poly(dialkylsiloxane) groups. Compositions containing the block copolymer as well as articles that include the block copolymer are also provided. The block copolymer can be used to provide a surface that is easy to clean and/or that is resistant to oil and grease without the use of fluorinated materials.
Abstract:
An article that includes a functionalized copolymer and the use thereof, particularly in a process for binding biomaterials, such as in a process for separating aggregated proteins from monomeric proteins in a biological solution; wherein the article includes: a) a porous substrate; and b) a copolymer covalently attached to the porous substrate, the copolymer comprising a hydrocarbon backbone and a plurality of pendant groups attached to the hydrocarbon backbone, wherein 1) each of a first plurality of pendant groups comprises: (a) at least one acidic group or salt thereof; and (b) a spacer group that directly links the at least one acidic group or salt thereof to the hydrocarbon backbone by a chain of at least 6 catenated atoms; and 2) each of a second plurality of pendant groups comprises: (a) at least one acidic group or salt thereof; and (b) a spacer group that directly links the at least one acidic group or salt thereof to the hydrocarbon backbone by a chain of at least 6 catenated atoms; and wherein the first plurality of pendant groups are different than the second plurality of pendant groups; and wherein a mole ratio of the first plurality of pendant groups to the second plurality of pendant groups is in a range of 95:5 to 5:95.
Abstract:
A wound dressing material comprises a base fiber web, a wound-contact scrim, and an antimicrobial layer. The wound-contact scrim comprises water-sensitive fibers comprising a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units. The antimicrobial layer is sandwiched between the base fiber web and the wound-contact scrim. The wounds dressing material may be contacted with an exposed surface of a wound. A method of making the wound dressing material is also disclosed.
