Patent number: 8022155Abstract: The invention relates to polymerizable compositions which comprise 10-80% by weight of a reactive diluent based on acrylic acid or methacrylic acid derivatives, and 10-50% by weight of a monomer of the indicated chemical formula which is liquid or which can be dissolved in the formulation. The formula may contain amino acid residues or peptide sequences, especially such that are specific of the collagen. These structural elements allow the enzymatic degradation of the polymers of the inventive composition.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Technische Universitat WienInventors: Robert Liska, Monika Schuster, Jürgen Stampfl, Heinrich Gruber, Franz Varga

Patent number: 7815835Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing three-dimensional objects, comprising producing a three-dimensional structure by sequential selective curing of layers of a composition curable with visible and/or ultraviolet light into a solid polymeric material by sequential exposure of the individual layers to UV and/or visible light, whereafter a three-dimensional object is produced by use of the three-dimensional structure thus formed, followed by removing the three-dimensional structure from or of the three-dimensional object, characterized in that removing the three-dimensional structure is accomplished by chemically cleaving the polymeric material as well as simultaneously or subsequently dissolving the material in a solvent or mixed solvent and/or melting the material.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Technische Universitat WienInventors: Jürgen Stampfl, Heinrich Gruber, Helga Lichtenegger, Robert Liska, Robert Inführ

Patent number: 7674839Abstract: The invention relates to methods for the production of polymer carrier materials for solid phase synthesis, particularly for peptide synthesis. (Meth)acrylamide derivatives based on carbon hydrates, which can also contain other protective groups, are polymerized by means of suspension polymerization in an aqueous phase, optionally with the addition of pore-forming additives, and subsequently the protective groups are fully or partially cleaved. It is thus possible to obtain polymer carriers whose morphology (particle size, porosity), degree of cross-linking and swelling capability in aqueous and organic media can be adjusted in a targeted manner and whose reactive groups offer multiple opportunities for the immobilization of anchor groups and protective groups. The hydroxyl groups of the polymer carrier can be activated according to usual methods of solid phase synthesis.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Technische UniversitatInventors: Thomas Verdianz, Heinrich Gruber, Simone Knaus, Alexander Poschalko
