Abstract: Described are methods and systems for cationizing and dyeing a natural fiber-containing textile. The method includes a step of steam treating a textile padded with a base and cationizing agent in a defined temperature range (greater than 100° C. to less than 110° C.) and for a defined time period (1 min to 10 min). The cationizing agent in the presence of the base is capable of generating two epoxide groups. The cationization step in the presence of steam using the halogenated catonization agent of the invention facilitates improved dyeing.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems for cationizing and dyeing a natural fiber-containing textile, which uses a mono- or di-quaternized cationizing agent. The method includes a step of heating the textile to a temperature in the range of 90° C. to less than 110° C. for a period of time in the range of 1 min to 10 min to react the cationizing agent with the textile. The cationization step in the presence of heat using the halogenated cationization agent of the invention facilitates improved dyeing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to formulations that can be used in the agriculture industry. In one aspect, an agricultural formulation comprises at least one agricultural active ingredient in an amount from 1 weight percent up to 80 weight percent based on the total weight of the formulation, and an alkyl furan ester solvent of Formula 1, wherein the formulation comprises from 5 weight percent up to 80 weight percent of the alkyl furan ester solvent.

Abstract: A method for suppressing the formation of ammonia comprising providing a carrier material to a container having a headspace; providing a bacteria, an acidifier and an odor inhibitor to the carrier material, the bacteria comprising Staphylococcus-xylosus or Staphylococcus-cohnii bacteria, and the odor inhibitor comprising a salt of an aminopolycarboxylic acid compound; and applying animal waste to the carrier material; wherein there is a 5 to 98 percent improvement of ammonia content in the headspace as compared to an untreated control comprising a container containing the carrier material and the bacteria and not contain the odor inhibitor.

Abstract: Provided is a composition comprising a compound having structure (I) wherein each of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8 is independently CR12 or N; wherein one to four of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8 are N; wherein J1 is C or Si; wherein J2 is C(R13)n, O, (C(R13)n)2, S, NR13, or Se; wherein n is 1 or 2; wherein each of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, and R13 is independently H, deuterium, or an organic group. Also provided is a method of making the composition, a method of making an organic light-emitting diode using the composition, and an organic light-emitting diode made by that method.
