摘要:
Copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) having high HFP content and end-of-melting temperature, T.sub.m (end), as low as 200.degree. C. are disclosed. Exceptional performance as a processing aid in polyolefins results from having T.sub.m (end) of the TFE/HFP copolymer close to the processing temperature of the polyolefin. These TFE/HFP copolymers are soluble in fluorinated cyclic solvents. Copolymer/solvent systems copolymer at significant concentrations in selected solvents are fluid and stable at room temperature.

摘要:
A hydrogel tissue adhesive having increased degradation time is described. The hydrogel tissue adhesive is formed by reacting an oxidized polysaccharide with a water-dispersible, multi-arm amine in the presence of a polyol additive, which retards the degradation of the hydrogel. The hydrogel may be useful as a tissue adhesive or sealant for medical applications, including but not limited to, ophthalmic applications such as sealing wounds resulting from trauma such as corneal lacerations, or from surgical procedures such as vitrectomy procedures, cataract surgery, LASIK surgery, glaucoma surgery, and corneal transplants; neurosurgery applications, such as sealing the dura; as a plug to seal a fistula or the punctum; adhesion prevention to prevent undesired tissue to tissue adhesions resulting from trauma or surgery; and as a hemostat sealant.
摘要:
Incorporation into polyacetal molding compositions stabilized for processing with a non-meltable polymer stabilizer of 0.01-1.00 weight percent of at least one meltable co-stabilizer, said co-stabilizer being a thermal stabilizer for polyacetal, and 0.02-1.0 weight percent of at least one primary antioxidant results in significantly improved long term stability, as evidenced by greater retention of physical properties over time, of such compositions.
摘要:
A hydrogel tissue adhesive having decreased degradation time is described. The hydrogel tissue adhesive is formed by reacting an oxidized polysaccharide with a water-dispersible, multi-arm polyether amine in the presence of an oligomer additive, which promotes the degradation of the hydrogel. The hydrogel may be useful as a tissue adhesive or sealant for medical applications, such as a hemostat sealant or to prevent undesired tissue-to-tissue adhesions resulting from trauma or surgery.
摘要:
It was found that glycidyloxystyrenes, including glycidyloxystyrene and substituted glycidyloxystyrene, can be synthesized from hydroxycinnamic acid or substituted hydroxycinnamic acids in a one-pot, two-step process. The substrate can be thermally decarboxylated and then without purification, reacted in the presence of a halomethyl-oxirane and a base. The resulting product can be polymerized or coppolymerized to a fully substituted product.

Incorporation into polyacetal molding compositions stabilized with a non-meltable polymer stabilizer of 0.02-1.0 weight percent of at least one amide-containing phenolic antioxidant results in significantly improved long term stability, as evidenced by greater retention of physical properties over time, of such compositions.
摘要:
A method of dissolving an oxidized polysaccharide in an aqueous solution using an oligomer additive is described. The resulting aqueous solution of the oxidized polysaccharide may be used in combination with an aqueous solution comprising an amine-containing component to prepare hydrogel tissue adhesives and sealants for medical and veterinary applications, such as wound closure, supplementing or replacing sutures or staples in internal surgical procedures such as intestinal anastomosis and vascular anastomosis, tissue repair, ophthalmic procedures, drug delivery, and to prevent post-surgical adhesions.
摘要:
A solution grafting method for making polyolefin graft polymers by grafting a phenolic ester monomeric compound on olefinic polymers in the presence of a radical initiator in an organic solvent is described. The grafted polymers provide improved adhesion properties, particularly to metal and polyester substrates.
