Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to adhesives and particularly to reversible adhesives. This disclosure further relates to generally adhesive articles and particularly to wound dressings comprising such adhesives. The adhesive comprises a core and a shell comprising at least two components. One of the components of the shell comprises a polymer formed by reacting a monomer of a thermally reversible polymer and the other component comprises a polymer formed by reacting a monomer of a polymer of a pressure sensitive adhesive. The wound dressing comprises a substrate and the reversible adhesive, forming a reversible wound dressing. Such wound dressings are particularly suitable for treatment of damaged sensitive tissue, for example wounds formed on a fragile skin.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to gas sensors comprising organized assemblies of carbon and non-carbon compounds. The invention also relates to devices containing such gas sensors and analysis units. In preferred embodiments, the organized assemblies of the instant invention take the form of nanorods or their aggregate forms. More preferably, a nanorod is made up of a carbon nanotube filled, coated, or both filled and coated by a non-carbon material. The invention further relates to a method for detecting or quantitating an analyte gas.
