  • Publication number: 20250090556
    Abstract: Provided herein are polycannabinoid compositions, uses thereof and methods of manufacturing the same. Polycannabinoid compositions described include polymers of a single cannabinoid type or polymers with a variety of cannabinoids. Such compositions are further described as optionally present as a mixture of longer and short polymers having differential functions as a result of size. Compositions are optionally described for combination with carriers. A variety of conditions are described for treatment with such compositions, including cancer, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.

  • Publication number: 20060241279
    Abstract: This invention presents polymers and copolymers comprising repeating units of thieno[3,4-b]thiophene. Water-borne dispersions of such polymers and copolymers can be cast by conventional methods to provide uniform, thin films which possess utility in numerous electroactive applications including electrochromic displays, optically transparent electrodes and antistatic coatings. The compositions of this invention can be doped with conventional p-dopants or n-dopants. The invention also presents an aqueous process for preparing such compositions of matter.
