Abstract: A vapor dispenser which comprises a reservoir to contain a nonflowing liquid whose vapor is to be dispensed into the environment and an outer covering about the reservoir which includes a membrane vapor-emitting surface through which the vapor is dispensed from the reservoir to the environment.
Abstract: Polymer-liquid composite materials, particularly of cellulosic polymers such as cellulose nitrate, are described, which materials are strong, transparent, ultramicroporous materials characterized by a diffusion-supporting liquid phase of about 70% or more liquid within an interpenetrating, form-retentive, solid polymer phase. The materials are prepared by precipitation from a hydrogen-bonding solvent solution by the use of a miscible nonsolvent at temperatures generally below about 45.degree. C.
Abstract: A process for the controlled release of a substance which comprises impregnating a substance to be released into and within a cellulosic polymer-liquid composite material as a part of or all of the liquid phase, and the controlled release material as produced.
