  • Patent number: 5556635
    Abstract: Films based on copolymers, their applications in transdermal systems and their processes of preparation. The said films consist of a hydrophobic polymer of ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) type containing at least one active principle and composed of 15 to 50% of hydrophilic inclusions formed from at least one hydrophilic monomer chosen from the group which comprises acrylamide, methylolacrylamide, diacetone acrylamide, maleic acid, acrylic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, propylene glycol acrylate, ethylene glycol methacrylate, methacrylamide, methacrylic acid, propylene glycol methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, N-vinylpyrrolidone, vinylacetic acid or vinylsulphonic acids.

  • Patent number: 5110683
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of films having in their thickness at least two superimposed zones, including a semimetallic zone and an electrically insulating zone, by irradiating a polymer film by means of a high energy ion beam.It is possible by this process to produce semimetal (1)/insulant (2)/semimetal (3) structures by irradiating the polymer under vacuum by means of light ions or with a limited stopping power having an energy of at least 1 MeV/amu. It is also possible to obtain insulant (4)/semimetal (5)/insulant (6) structures by irradiating, in a confined atmosphere, the polymer by means of heavy ions or ions having a high energy loss with an energy of at least 1 MeV/amu.By irradiating only certain zones of the film, it is thus possible to form embedded or surface-positioned electrical connections.

  • Patent number: 4861480
    Abstract: The invention relates to semipermeable organomineral membranes usable in reverse osmosis.This organomineral semipermeable membrane comprises a porous inorganic material support coated with a vinylidene fluoride polymer or copolymer-based organic layer incorporating functional groups giving the membrane a permeability to water or other solvents.The porous inorganic material support is preferably constituted by a macroporous substrate coated with a microporous layer, e.g. produced from a single or mixed metal oxide or hydroxide. The organic layer can be constituted by polyvinylidene fluoride grafted by an appropriate monomer, such as styrene incorporating functional groups giving it selective permeability, e.g. hydrophilic groups, such as sulphonic groups.
