  • Publication number: 20140046012
    Abstract: Described herein are improved methods of forming polymer films, the polymer films formed thereby, and electronic devices formed form the polymer films. The methods generally include contacting a polymer with a solvent to at least partially solvate the polymer in the solvent, exposing the at least partially solvated polymer and solvent to ultrasonic energy for a duration effective to form a plurality of ordered assemblies of the polymer in the solvent, and forming a solid film of the polymer, wherein the solid film comprises the plurality of ordered assemblies of the polymer.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 8, 2013
    Publication date: February 13, 2014
    Applicant: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Avishek Aiyar, Rakesh Nambiar, David Collard, Elsa Reichmanis

  • Patent number: 4572913
    Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) ##STR1## inhibit both the cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid oxygenation and are useful in medicine as, e.g., anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic agents.The compounds may be administered as the raw chemical or in association with a carrier as a pharmaceutical formulation.The compounds may be prepared by methods analogous to those known in the art, e.g., by the method of Duffin and Kendall in J. Chem. Soc. (1954), 408-415, or by other methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 1981
    Date of Patent: February 25, 1986
    Assignee: Burroughs Wellcome Co.
    Inventors: Frederick C. Copp, Albert G. Caldwell, David Collard
  • Patent number: 4564684
    Abstract: Heterocyclic compounds of formula (I) and acid addition salts thereof inhibit arachidonic acid oxygenation and are useful in medicine, for example as anti-inflammatory agents. ##STR1## The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by any method analogous to those known in the art, for example by the method of G. F. Duffin and J. D. Kendall in J. Chem. Soc. (1954), 408-415. When used in medicine, the compounds of formula (I) may be administered as the compound alone or as a pharmaceutical formulation together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
