Abstract: Hair treatment formulations, dispensing devices, and methods provide safer, cleaner, less complicated alternatives to existing permanent hair dye kits for home or salon use. In some embodiments, a hair treatment formulation includes a dispersion and an aqueous solution. The dispersion includes a continuous phase including an oil as well as a dispersed phase including a pigment precursor and a catalyst for increasing an oxidation rate of the pigment precursor. The aqueous solution includes an oxidant for oxidizing the pigment precursor to a pigment. The dispersion and the aqueous solution form an emulsion for hair treatment upon their combination, the emulsion including the pigment. In some embodiments, the dispersion and the aqueous solution are distributed between compartments of a dispensing device for simultaneously combining the dispersion and the aqueous solution in a mixing tip to form the emulsion including the pigment through a dispensing action of the dispensing device.

Abstract: Debondable adhesive compositions are provided. This disclosure also provides articles of footwear and components for articles of footwear including a debondable adhesive matrix. The debondable adhesive matrix can allow for the bonding and debonding of two substrates in the article of footwear or component thereof. This disclosure also provides methods of making the debondable adhesive compositions and methods of using said compositions for bonding and debonding the substrates, e.g. for bonding and debonding of an upper and an outsole in an article of footwear.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for the creation of “smooth” metal oxide films or coatings using organic cross-linking agents to enable low-temperature sintering. These metal oxide films can be used in conjunction with low-melting temperature substrates, such as plastics, metal, metal oxide, and glass, providing exquisite control over surface roughness.

Abstract: Provided herein are improvements to dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells that enhance the ability of those cells to operate in normal room lighting conditions. These improvements include printable, non-corrosive, nonporous hole blocking layer formulations that improve the performance of dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells under 1 sun and indoor light irradiation conditions. Also provided herein are highly stable electrolyte formulations for use in dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells. These electrolytes use high boiling solvents, and provide unexpectedly superior results compared to prior art acetonitrile-based electrolytes. Also provided herein are chemically polymerizable formulations for depositing thin composite catalytic layers for redox electrolyte-based dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells. The formulations allow R2R printing (involves coating, fast chemical polymerization, rinsing of catalytic materials with methanol) composite catalyst layers on the cathode.
