Abstract: Environmentally-friendly alternatives to organometallic antifoulants that are efficacious at preventing biofouling by organisms such as the zebra mussel. Preferred antifoulant compositions utilize compounds having a Lipophilic-Amide-Spacer-ElectroNegative (“LASEN”) structural motif, such as capsaicin, and compounds having a TetraHydroCannibinoid (“THC”) structural motif. The antifoulant compositions are non-toxic, and effective.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to demonstrate that semiconducting and non-biodegradable implants made with polypyrrole and polyethylenglycol copolymers and iodine-doped and plasma-synthesized pyrrole polymers, have a neuroprotector effect and induce the reconnection of the spinal cord after an injury; this effect was proved in a model involving a complete section of the spinal cord in rats; the results o the functional evaluation demonstrated 5 times greater recovery in animals implanted with the polypyrrole-polyethylenglycol copolymer compared with the control group which only underwent a complete section of the spinal cord; in addition, the functional recovery of the group with iodine-doped polypyrrole was ten times greater compared to the control group; in the histological study various inflammatory and immune cells were identified at the injury site in the three experimental groups with and without implants and the integration of the polymers in the nervous tissue of the spinal cord was also obse

Abstract: A method for coating an object (1). The object (1) is positioned in contact with holding means and the coating (4) is applied in such a way that contact parts (3, 8, 10) of the holding means form part of the coating (4). Contact parts (3, 8, 10) are made from a material having corrosion properties being substantially identical to the corrosion properties of the coating material, preferably from the same material. Thereby the contact parts (3) can form a natural part of the resulting coating (4). The contact parts (3, 8, 10) may subsequently be detached from the holding means and remain attached to the object (1) as part of the coating (4). Provides a substantially full coating (4) to the object (1) in one coating step. Avoids or reduces problems relating to pinholes in coatings. Further an object (1) having a coating (4) which has been provided using the method.
