Abstract:
A system suitable for producing a high internal phase emulsion foam producing system comprising: a device (30) suitable for extruding a high internal phase emulsion; a belt (20); a carrier sheet (10), wherein at least a portion of the carrier sheet is in contact with the belt; a retractable piston assembly (40), wherein the retractable piston assembly is in operable association with the carrier sheet (10).
Abstract:
This invention relates to functionalized monomers which are reacted with an enophilic reagent (e.g., maleic anhydride) to form an enophilic reagent modified functionalized monomer. The enophilic reagent modified functionalized monomer may be further reacted with one or more additional reagents (e.g., oxygen-containing reagents, nitrogen-containing reagents, metals or metal compounds). The invention relates to base oils which may comprise functional base oils. The invention relates to lubricants, functional fluids, fuels, dispersants, detergents and functional compositions (e.g., cleaning solutions, food products, etc.).
Abstract:
Oxazolinyl-containing compounds having a single oxazolinyl group plus a first polymeric group are described. Grafted compounds are also described that are the product of a reaction of an oxazolinyl-containing compound with a second compound that has one or more acidic groups to form a grafted compound. In some embodiments, the second compound is a polymeric material having at least one acidic group and the reaction product is a grafted copolymer. Blended compositions of the grafted copolymer with a polyamide are also described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cell which has been genetically modified by comparison with its wild type in such a way that it is able to form more, by comparison with its wild type, 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid or polyhydroxyalkanoates based on 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid via methylmalonate semialdehyde or 3-hydroxybutyryl-coenzyme A as precursors. The invention also relates to a method for producing a genetically modified cell, to the genetically modified cell obtainable by this method, to a method for producing 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid or polyhydroxyalkanoates based on 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid, to a method for producing methacrylic acid or methacrylic esters, and to a method for producing polymethacrylic acid or polymethacrylic esters. The present invention further relates to an isolated DNA, to a vector, to the use of this vector for transforming a cell, to a transformed cell, and to a polypeptide.
Abstract:
A process for the production of an alkyl methacrylate, particularly methyl methacrylate, is provided, in which a Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase enzyme is used to convert an alkylisopropenylketone substrate to the relevant alkyl methacrylate by abnormal asymmetric oxygen insertion. The invention provides a biobased route to key industrial monomers in particular for the generation of polymers such as poly methyl methacrylate.
