Abstract:
Use of a composition of nanoparticles for gluing at least one hydrogel to at least one other article. Gel assemblies of good mechanical resistance can be obtained easily. Method for gluing at least one hydrogel to at least one other article, said method comprises: applying a composition of nanoparticles on at least one face of the hydrogel and applying the face of the hydrogel with the nanoparticles to the article.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thrombin-free, fibrinogen-based biological adhesive for therapeutic use, which comprises factor VIIa and a source of calcium ions. The invention also relates to the use of the biological adhesive as a medicament, in particular as a dressing for biological tissues, wounds or biomaterials.
Abstract:
Provided are compositions and methods for making a variety of products. The methods involve mixing sucker ring teeth (SRT) protein and a plasticizer or a solvent to obtain a mixture of the SRT protein and the plasticizer. When the SRT is mixed with a plasticizer it is heated to between 32° C. and 195° C. to obtain an SRT protein melt. The melt is used to form a wide variety of products. When the SRT is mixed with a solvent, such as an organic solvent or an aqueous solvent, a solution of the SRT protein is formed, and is subsequently used to forming a product from the solution, wherein the product contains SRT protein.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dermatological adhesive composition having an enhanced skin protective effect. The present invention provides a dermatological adhesive composition comprising a resin component for forming an adhesive and a lamellar structure formed of a lipid composition; a dermatological adhesive composition comprising a resin component for forming an adhesive, and a lipid composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of sphingolipids and sterols and at least one selected from the group consisting of higher alcohols and surfactants; and a dermatological patch including a base sheet, and an adhesive layer formed of the dermatological adhesive composition and disposed on the base sheet.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid adhesive composition comprising a partly hydrolyzed protein component, having a degree of hydrolysis (DH) in the range 0.2-2; a metal silicate component; optionally, an exogenic protein hydrolyzing component; and wherein the liquid adhesive composition has a solid content in the range 15-80% by weight.
