Abstract: A method of manufacturing a length of lined pipe inserts a radially contracted liner pipe into an outer host pipe. Injector needles are inserted through an end of the outer pipe into an annular gap between the pipes. Adhesive is injected between the pipes at locations inboard of the end of the outer pipe. After withdrawing the injectors, at least a portion of the liner pipe is expanded to close the gap and to bond the pipes together via the injected adhesive. Shims can be inserted into the gap between the pipes. A portion of the liner pipe inboard of the shims can be expanded radially while the shims constrain local radial expansion of an outboard portion of the liner pipe to maintain the gap for accommodating the injectors. Withdrawing the shims after injecting the adhesive allows radial expansion of the outboard portion to close the gap between the pipes.

Abstract: Antimicrobial ion exchange polymer salts are made by exchanging biologically active ionic agents onto organic ion exchange polymers. The activated polymers are useful in a wide range of antimicrobial coatings, materials, devices, agricultural treatments, and other applications, and are stable to thermal degradation and decomposition. The activated ion exchange polymer salts may be water-soluble or insoluble in water. Particle size distribution of the activated ion exchange polymer salts may be reduced and the resulting powders processed into polymers or polymer precursors using novel methods to produce stable, biologically active polymer composites, including antimicrobial polymer composites and coatings that are effective against bacteria, fungi and/or viruses. Antimicrobial polymer composites and coatings described here are potent against normal and drug resistant microbes (e.g.
