Abstract: A method for the identification and localization of small molecule species in a histologic thin tissue section comprises the steps of: a) acquiring a mass/mobility image of the tissue section and generating a mass/mobility map of the small molecule species of interest for each pixel of the image; b) providing a second sample of the same tissue and extracting the small molecules of interest, separating them, and acquiring mass and ion mobility spectra from the separated small molecules; c) identifying the small molecules of interest using corresponding reference databases; and d) assigning identified small molecules to entries in the mass/mobility maps of the first tissue section by comparison of ion masses and mobilities of the identified species to those of the second thin tissue section.

Abstract: A low gloss dry-erasable multilayer composite comprises a first layer having a dry-erasable outer surface and a second layer having a microroughened surface. Preferably, the second layer is microroughened by cure-induced surface wrinkling. The first layer preferably comprises a polymer comprising at least one pendant fluoroalkoxyalkyl functionality. Methods of making low gloss dry erasable multilayer composites are also provided. New dry-erasable coating compositions comprising certain amine resin crosslinking agents are also provided.

Abstract: A laminate and the method for its formation are provided. The laminates comprise one or more polymeric layers and a surface coating layer which has been cured utilizing a specific sequence of ultra-violet (UV) irradiation, germicidal irradiation, and heat treatment. The laminates are produced by a process which imparts an aesthetically pleasing low-gloss finish to the crosslinked surface layer. Advantageously, the laminates can be used to realistically simulate patterns, wood, and wood grain finishes as they demonstrate enhanced depth of grain and print.
