Patent number: 8916652Abstract: The invention describes families of compounds that utilize multihydroxyl phenyl groups to provide adhesive properties. Selection of the multihydroxy phenyl group along with linkers or linking groups and the linkages between the linkers or linking groups with polyalkylene oxides, provides materials that can be engineered to afford controllable curing time, biodegradation and/or swelling.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Kensey Nash CorporationInventors: Jeffrey L. Dalsin, Bruce P. Lee, Laura Vollenweider, Sunil Silvary, John L. Murphy, Fangmin Xu, Amanda Spitz, Arinne Lyman

Publication number: 20070224414Abstract: A protective coating for a roof membrane of the type having plasticizers. The protective or barrier seal coating is applied the exposed surface of the polymeric roofing material, where it prevents and/or retards plasticizer migration to the surface of the membrane where they are subsequently removed. By preventing or retarding loss of plasticizers from the roof membrane, the concentration gradient of plasticizers throughout the membrane can be maintained and the life of the membrane can be extended. The protective or barrier seal coating may be further coated with conventional coatings such as elastomeric acrylics. Methods of applying the protective or barrier seal coating are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2006Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Timothy Leonard, Tony Leonard, James Leonard, Laura Vollenweider
