Abstract: Described herein are improved thermoplastic composites, which demonstrate excellent physical properties, such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, toughness, elongation, and, optionally, superior tunable biodegradability when compared to known thermoplastics. The composite comprises minimally a thermoplastic polymer, at least one phenolic compound, and, optionally, a filler.

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: Functionalized F-POSS compounds comprising synthetic blends of at least two feedstocks that produce a distribution of fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane molecule structures and/or functional groups.

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: The present application discloses compositions and methods for improving or enhancing the paving or re-paving of asphalt to road surfaces comprising the addition of the composition to the asphalt.

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.
