Abstract: A variety of polyoxyalkylene coupled zwitterionic moieties are provided as well as surface active reactive polymers containing the polyoxyalkylene coupled zwitterionic moieties. When incorporated in coating systems, such surface active polymers show strong propensity to stratify during curing. The zwitterionic groups presented at the end of polyalkylene oxide chains can allow for effective exposure of the zwitterionic groups at the coating/water interface as the polyoxyalkylene side chains of the said SAP can further extend (to its radius of gyration) into the water phase. Additional features of the polyoxyalkylene coupled zwitterionic moieties can include a reactive end group (R) to allow covalent attachment of the moiety to a surface, a particle, a small molecule, or a polymer. Coating compositions and coated articles containing the polyoxyalkylene coupled zwitterionic moieties are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides durable, natural looking, non-invasive compositions that exhibit desired aesthetic qualities for therapeutic treatments. Specifically, the compositions can be used for the treatment of wounds and headaches. In addition, the compositions of the invention can be used to deliver agents to the subject in need thereof. In one embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to methods for treating wounds, comprising applying to a subject's skin a formulation comprising a) a first reactive reinforcing component; and b) a second cross-linking component; in which the cross-linking component catalyzes an in situ cross-linking of the reactive reinforcing component, such that a film is formed on the wound, thereby treating the wound.

Abstract: Coating compositions, coatings, and coated articles are provided exhibiting drag-reducing properties. The drag reduction can lead to improved flow, e.g. an improved measure of slip length, over both laminar and turbulent flow conditions, e.g. for Reynolds numbers less than 2,000 to as much as about 500,000. The coating compositions include abase matrix and an effluent polymer dispersed in the base resin in such a way that, when an exposed surface of the drag-reducing coating is exposed to an aqueous medium, the effluent polymer migrates to the exposed surface of the drag-reducing coating and into the aqueous medium at or near the exposed surface to create a diluted effluent polymer solution in the aqueous medium at or near the exposed surface; wherein the diluted effluent polymer solution reduces a drag of the surface moving through the aqueous medium.
