  • Publication number: 20220411678
    Abstract: Adhesives, particularly reversible adhesives, reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes and polymer formulations that may be used in preparation of the reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes are disclosed. The polymer formulations may comprise a reversible monomer of a reversible adhesive polymer, acrylic acid (AA), an acrylate cross-linker, a photo-initiator for free radical polymerization, and a solvent. The disclosure also relates to a wound dressing comprising the reversible adhesive hydrogel meshes. Such wound dressings are particularly suitable for treatment of damaged sensitive tissue, for example, wounds formed on a fragile skin.

  • Patent number: 8664463
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to adhesives and particularly to reversible adhesives. This disclosure further relates to generally adhesive articles and particularly to wound dressings comprising such adhesives. The adhesive comprises a core and a shell comprising at least two components. One of the components of the shell comprises a polymer formed by reacting a monomer of a thermally reversible polymer and the other component comprises a polymer formed by reacting a monomer of a polymer of a pressure sensitive adhesive. The wound dressing comprises a substrate and the reversible adhesive, forming a reversible wound dressing. Such wound dressings are particularly suitable for treatment of damaged sensitive tissue, for example wounds formed on a fragile skin.

  • Patent number: 6365270
    Abstract: A multicolor organic light emitting device employs vertically stacked layers of double heterostructure devices which are fabricated from organic compounds. The vertical stacked structure is formed on a glass base having a transparent coating of ITO or similar metal to provide a substrate. Deposited on the substrate is the vertical stacked arrangement of three double heterostructure devices, each fabricated from a suitable organic material. Stacking is implemented such that the double heterostructure with the longest wavelength is on the top of the stack. This constitutes the device emitting red light on the top with the device having the shortest wavelength, namely, the device emitting blue light, on the bottom of the stack. Located between the red and blue device structures is the green device structure.

  • Patent number: 6358631
    Abstract: A light emitting device (LED) structure and devices containing the same in which the LED structure contains a plurality of at least a first and a second light emitting organic device (LED) stacked one upon the other, to form a layered structure, with each LED separated one from the other by a transparent conductive layer to enable each device to receive a separate bias potential to operate to emit light through the stack, at least one of said LED's comprising an emission layer containing an emitting compound, optionally in a matrix of at least one host compound capable of carrying electrons to the emitting compound.
