Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to compounds and methods for preventing fouling caused by the radical polymerization of unsaturated compounds, particularly vinyl monomers. More particularly, it relates to the use of hindered hydroquinones to inhibit the polymerization, which result in the fouling of process equipment, and prematurely consume the vinylic monomer products.
Abstract:
Methods to produce pH-sensitive microparticles that have an active agent dispersed in a polymer matrix have certain advantages over microcapsules with an active agent encapsulated in an interior compartment/core inside of a polymer wall. The current invention relates to pH-sensitive microparticles that have a corrosion-detecting or corrosion-inhibiting active agent or active agents dispersed within a polymer matrix of the microparticles. The pH-sensitive microparticles can be used in various coating compositions on metal objects for corrosion detecting and/or inhibiting.
Abstract:
It has been discovered that carbonate powders and bicarbonate powders are useful to increase the pH and corrosion resistance of high- density brines, such as zinc bromide brines, without significantly reducing their densities. The carbonates and/or bicarbonates should be water-soluble and may be sodium, potassium, magnesium and/or ammonium carbonates and/or bicarbonates and the like. The carbonates and/or bicarbonates are easily added in powder or other finely divided solid form and are completely dissolved in the brine prior to pumping the brine into a subterranean formation.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A silicon substrate for use in biosensing applications is provided, having a protective layer made of a hydrophobic dendrimer monolayer linked to a hydrophilic layer presenting biomolecule probes. The hydrophobic monolayer inhibits oxidation of the substrate surface while the biomolecule probes optimize recognition and capture of biomolecules. A process for establishing the functionalized silicon substrate and a method of making the protective layer is also provided.

Abstract:
A method of preparing an antioxidant polymer includes forming or obtaining a first polymer having reactive pendant groups, where the first polymer does not include cyclic anhydride repeat units, and derivatizing the first polymer with an antioxidant. Another method of preparing an antioxidant polymer includes forming or obtaining a first polymer having reactive pendant groups and derivatizing the first polymer with an antioxidant, where the antioxidant is attached to the first polymer by an acetal, amide, amine, carbamate, carbonate, ester, ether or thioether linkage or by a carbon-carbon bond. The invention is also directed to polymers that are generally prepared by these methods, compositions that include such polymers and methods of using such polymers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a liquid polymer additive composition comprising at least one phosphite ester selected from the group consisting of aryl phosphites, alkyl phosphites, aryl/alkyl phosphites, bisphenol-A phosphites, dialkylene glycol phosphites and polydialkylene glycol phosphites, pentaerythritol phosphites, p -cumyl phenol phosphites and blends thereof and approximately from 50 to 800 ppm inclusive of zinc per 100 parts resin. The stabilizer is used as either a complete or a partial replacement of toxic-metal containing antioxidant stabilizer additives.
