Abstract: A composition, coating and/or method of facilitating the spreading of an aqueous solution upon a substrate includes coating the substrate with a composition comprising waterborne polymer, hydrophobic surface modified particles, and an amphiphilic compound, such that fluids that adhere to the coated substrate may be more easily removed from the substrate than from an uncoated substrate.

Abstract: The current disclosure describes a polymer composite which can comprise a polyurethane and a functionalized polyalkyl-siloxane. Polymer composites described herein can be useful for having and/or enhancing antifouling activity.

Abstract: Gas sensors are described herein that are useful for selectively detecting a second gas (e.g. isoprene) in the presence of a first gas (e.g. acetone). The gas sensors include a sensor element which includes a semiconductor sensing material and a porous material. The sensor element is configured so that the porous material absorbs more of the first gas than the second gas. Thus, when the gas being analyzed, such as a mammalian (including human) breath, a greater proportion of the second gas comes into contact with the semiconductor sensing material.

Abstract: A breath sensor apparatus for detecting the presence of a compound in an exhaled gas sample, the apparatus comprising a chamber for retaining a gas sample, the chamber defining a gas inlet and a gas outlet, a sensor inside the chamber for analyzing the gas sample, an airflow disrupting element disposed proximate to the sensor to affect the airflow near the device, and an airflow reducing element disposed over the gas outlet to increase the retention time of the gas sample within the chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an emissive construct, which can be used in various OLED applications, for example, top-emission white organic light-emitting diodes. The emissive construct includes a fluorescent emissive layer, a partial hole-blocking layer, and a phosphorescent emissive.
