Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds, methods, and compositions which may be used to treat tuberculosis. In some embodiments, these compounds and compositions have a bactericidal property against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Methods of employing such agents are also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for magnetic actuated mixing which use magnetic particles, non-magnetic abrasive particles and electromagnetic field to facilitate milling. The method and system use magnetic particles and a generated electromagnetic field to facilitate the milling as well. The method and system can be used in any application that requires the preparation of small-sized particles at either the micro or nano scale, including for example, preparing toners, inks, wax, pigment dispersions and the like.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a one reaction process for making a bio-based polyester resin. The resultant polyester resin retains thermal properties as compared to a similar resin but made using previous multi-step processes conducted in separate vessels.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a process for making a polyester resin of defined acid value using a temperature-sensitive reaction and dipropylene glycol as a reagent.

Abstract: The present embodiments disclose processes for preparing a polyester latex containing an amount of residual organic solvent which is less than 100 ppm by weight of the total weight of the polyester latex.

Abstract: A pigment dispersion process includes providing a solution in a dispersion apparatus tha includes a container, a rotor-stator type homogenizer and a recirculation device. The process includes adding pigment particles to the solution to form a dispersion, flowing at least a portion of the dispersion to the homogenizer via the recirculation device, reducing a size of the pigment particles using the homogenizer, and recirculating the dispersion between the container and the homogenizer via the recirculation device. The dispersion system may include a container containing a dispersion that may contain an amount of deionized water, an amount of surfactant and an amount of pigment, and a recirculation device coupled to the container and to a rotor-stator homogenizer that allows the dispersion to flow between the container and the homogenizer.

Abstract: There is disclosed a viscosity reduction method including: (a) forming an azeotropic mixture including water and a liquid capable of forming the azeotropic mixture with the water in a coating composition comprised of the water, a solvent, and a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of a fluorohydrocarbon polymer and a grafted elastomer composed of a polyorganosiloxane bonded to a fluoroelastomer; and (b) agitating the coating composition including the azeotropic mixture, thereby reducing the viscosity of the coating composition.

Abstract: There is disclosed a coating composition including water, a solvent, a grafted elastomer composed of a polyorganosiloxane bonded to a fluoroelastomer, and a liquid which forms an azeotropic mixture with the water, wherein the azeotropic mixture of the water and the liquid restrains a viscosity increase in the coating composition over time.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a quaternary ammonium bisulfate which comprises the reaction of a quaternary ammonium alkylsulfate with sulfuric acid in a solvent mixture comprised of water and isopropyl alcohol, followed by the recovery of the solid quaternary ammonium bisulfate by crystallization from the reaction mixture.
