Abstract:
A method of monitoring corrosion and corrosion sensor includes a first element including a corrodible element to be exposed to a corrosive or corrosion-suspect environment, and a second element including a corrosion sensing circuit coupled with the corrodible element for generating a wireless signal based on the corrosion of the corrodible element.
Abstract:
A composition for in situ formation and/or expansion of a polymer- based hemostatic agent to control bleeding includes a suitable amount of a polymer or polymer-forming component, hydrogen peroxide or chemical(s) capable of forming hydrogen peroxide, or a combination of both, and a decomposing agent for hydrogen peroxide. The decomposing agent includes an endogenously or exogenously supplied catalyst (other than catalase), or both, and/or the polymer or polymer-forming component.

Abstract:
Two siloxane-based mixtures combine to form a soft or semi-solid matrix for forming an artificial blockage to control bleeding, particularly moderate to severe bleeding. The first component includes a homogeneous mixture or solution that includes a polymeric matrix, a surfactant, filler(s) and metal compound(s). The second component includes a homogeneous mixture or solution that includes a polymer(s), a filler(s), a surfactant, and hydrogen peroxide. The combination of the two components is carried out with adequate mixing using mechanical and micro- kinetic mixing mechanisms and can be performed in a field-ready delivery device.
Abstract:
A multifunctional particulate material, fluid, or composition includes a predetermined amount of core particles with a plurality of coatings. The core particles have an average particle size of about 1 nm to 500 µm. The particulate material, fluid, or composition is capable of exhibiting one or more properties, such as magnetic, thermal, optical, electrical, biological, chemical, lubrication, and rheological.
Abstract:
A hemostatic composition includes a carrier medium including a predetermined amount of a particulate material. The particulate material is comprised of core particles with a coating. The core particles have an average particle size of about 5 nm to 10 pm, and the coating is one of gold, silica, silver, platinum, steel, cobalt, carbon, a polymer, or a combination thereof.
