Abstract:
The present invention provides a countertop (10) comprising a backer sheet (16) of a relatively lightweight, rigid material; an outer layer (14) of agglomerated stone disposed on a top surface (16a) of the backer sheet (16) to create a central portion (14a) of the countertop; and an outer layer (14) of agglomerated stone disposed on a side surface (16c, 16d) of the backer sheet (16) to create an edge portion (14b, 14c) of the countertop (10); wherein the central portion (14a) and edge portion(s)(14b, 14c) form a one piece agglomerated stone layer (14). The present invention also provides a moulding process to manufacture the agglomerated stone countertop (10).
Abstract:
The invention provides poly(alkyleneimine)-graft-biodegradable polymers and methods for preparing such polymers. The poly(alkyleneimine)-graft-chitosan polymers may optionally contain a targeting element. The poly(alkyleneimine)-graft polymers may be used to deliver a bioactive agent into a cell.
