Abstract: In some embodiments provided herein is a method of preparing cargo-loaded platelets, comprising: treating platelets with a cargo and with a loading buffer comprising a salt, a base, a loading agent, and optionally ethanol, to form the cargo-loaded platelets.

Abstract: Disclosed are polymeric foamed compositions, foam padded materials that include such polymeric foamed compositions disposed on a sheet material, and packaging articles (e.g., envelopes) made from such foam padded materials. The polymeric foamed composition on the sheet material has a plurality of foamed structures formed from the foamable composition attached to the sheet material by a layer of the foamable composition, and the plurality foam structures each having a hollow core and a foam exterior shell.

Abstract: Two-part silane modified polymer/free radically curable adhesive systems demonstrating improved strength and percent elongation are provided.

Abstract: Photocurable compositions that have a color change during curing and methods of preparation and use of such compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to photocurable compositions that that have a color change during curing and are useful for forming topographical features, e.g., spacer features, and/or fold protection coatings on a portion of a membrane surfaces, and particularly on membranes used in osmosis and reverse-osmosis applications, such as membrane filters.

Abstract: A power cable connector includes a housing having a mating end and a cable end. The housing has a chamber extending between the mating end and the cable end. The housing has an engagement feature configured to engage a socket connector extending from a substrate. A flat cable is received in the chamber. The flat cable extends from the cable end. The flat cable has a mating portion extending from the mating end. The mating portion is configured to be received in the socket connector such that the flat cable directly engages a power terminal of the socket connector.
