Abstract: Acoustic sensors, preferably surface acoustic wave sensors, and more preferably shear horizontal surface acoustic wave sensors that include soluble mixed with oligomers and/or polymers formed from such monomers), or multifunctional compounds, for example, that can function as either waveguide materials, immobilization materials for secondary capture agents (e.g., antibodies), or both.

Abstract: Soluble polymers and methods for the preparation thereof, wherein the polymers of the present invention have pendant acylsulfonamide amine-reactive groups that can be used for the capture of amine containing materials.

Abstract: Colorimetric sensors for detection of an analyte are disclosed. Methods of using the colorimetric sensor and a kit for the colorimetric detection of an analyte are also disclosed.

Abstract: Polyurethane-based polymer compositions that include diacetylene segments are provided.

Abstract: Diacetylenic materials for the colorimetric detection of an analyte or exposure to certain environmental factors are disclosed as well as the polymerization reaction products of these diacetylenic compounds.

Abstract: A shock indicator is described comprising (A) a base having a first side and a second side; (B) an indicator associated with the first side of the base, the indicator comprising a plurality of indicator subparts, the subparts comprising solid material arranged (i) in a first configuration when the shock indicator is in a first state prior to a shock event, and (ii) in a second configuration when the shock indicator is in a second state following a shock event; and (C) means associated with the second side of the base for attachment of the shock indicator to a surface. A method of manufacture is also provided.
