  • BIODEGRADABLE AND BIOCOMPATIBLE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, NAMELY ADHESIVES, SEALANTS, AND HEMOSTATS
    Publication number: 20240417609
    Abstract: Adhesive compositions for medical and non-medical uses are provided. The adhesive compositions can include cyclic disulfide monomers, oligomers of reactions between the cyclic disulfides, polymers of the cyclic disulfides, solid articles formed formed from the polymers, and any combination thereof. Methods of making, using, and recycling the adhesive compositions are provided, including use of the adhesive compositions on a variety of substrates that include biological tissue; biomaterials, including synthetics and natural such as bone, wood, and cellulosics; metals and alloys; polymers, plastics, and rubbers; ceramics; composites; and, any combination of these materials.

  • Fouling Resistant Coatings and Methods of Making Same
    Publication number: 20080171012
    Abstract: The invention provides surface treatments that reduce or eliminate marine biofouling of various surfaces. A surface that is to be subjected to a marine environment can be treated with a mPEG-DOPA. The treated surface is thus rendered less susceptible to fouling of the surface.
    Type: Application
