摘要:
The invention relates to ultrasound contrast agents comprising porous particles of an inorganic material containing an entrapped gas or liquid and having an average particle diameter of about 0.05 to 500 microns, said inorganic material being selected from one or more of the group consisting of: monomeric or polymeric borates; monomeric or polymeric aluminas; monomeric or polymeric carbonates; monomeric or polymeric silicas; and monomeric or polymeric phosphates; and pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic cationic salts thereof.
摘要:
Crosslinked compositions formed from water-insoluble copolymers are disclosed. These compositions are copolymers having a bioresorbable region, a hydrophilic region and at least two cross-linkable functional groups per polymer chain. Crosslinking of these polymers can be effected in solution in organic solvents or in solvent-free systems. If crosslinking occurs in a humid environment, a hydrogel will form. If crosslinking occurs in a non-humid environment, a xerogel will form which will form a hydrogel when exposed to a humid environment and the resulting crosslinked materials form hydrogels when exposed to humid environments. These hydrogels are useful as components in medical devices such as implantable prostheses. In addition, such hydrogels are useful as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents and as scaffolding for tissue engineering applications.
摘要:
A bioresorbable sealant composition useful for impregnating implantable soft-tissue prostheses includes at least two polysaccharides in combination to form a hydrogel or sol-gel. The sealant compositions may optionally include a bioactive agent and/or be cross-linked subsequent to application of these compositions to the substrate surface.

摘要:
Terpolymers having 1,4-diketo functionalities and a carbonyl group concentration of about 5-20% of polymer weight can be conveniently cured by heating with an aromatic primary diamine or its precursor and a catalytic amount of an acid having a pKa of at most about 3. Cured polymers have good physical properties and are suitable in such applications as, for example hose, tubing, wire coatings, gaskets, and seals.
摘要:
A blend of an E/X/Y copolymer, where E is ethylene, X is a vinyl ester, and Y is carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide, with a polymer of vinyl halide or vinylidene halide is foamed and cured by dispersing in the blend a blowing agent and sulfur or a sulfur-releasing agent and heating the blend containing those additives at 100.degree.-180.degree. C. for a sufficient time to produce curing and foaming. This process can be run either continuously or batchwise in conventional equipment under conventional conditions in the presence of air. Plasticizers and other materials which often interfere with peroxide cures can be present in the process of this invention. The foamed and cured products have excellent physical properties and ozone resistance.

摘要:
Biodegradable thermoplastic polymer blend compositions are presented in which a first polymer and a second polymer are intimately associated together in a uniform, substantially homogeneous blend. The second polymer of the composition acts to facilitate biodegradation of the composition, and of shaped articles manufactured therefrom, at a rate which is enhanced over that of the most slowly biodegrading individual polymer component of the composition. The composition may further comprise a polysaccharide component, such as a starch component like destructurized starch.
