  • Publication number: 20180155464
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel phthalate compounds and a simple and economical route to covalently attach a phthalate ester mimic to PVC is described, allowing plasticization of PVC without the danger of Endocrine Disruption Chemicals leaching from the polymer matrix. An azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (in the absences of copper catalyst) using dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates allows this cycloaddition to occur under very mild thermal conditions.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9896532
    Abstract: The invention herein disclosed provides for compositions, methods for synthesizing said compositions, and methods for using said compositions, wherein the compositions and methods may be used to bind to and/or deactivate a poison oak oil, such as urushiol. The compositions and methods can be used to treat and/or reduce an inflammatory reaction and/or hypersensitivity to natural compounds found in poison oak, poison ivy, poison sumac, mango, lac tree, cashew nut, and Asian lacquer.

  • Patent number: 7060507
    Abstract: Targeted molecular bar codes and methods for using the same are provided. The subject targeted molecular bar codes include a molecular bar code and a member of a specific binding pair, where the specific binding pair member is generally bonded to the bar code through a linking group. The subject molecular bar code may be read during translocation through a single nano-meter scale pore. The subject targeted molecular bar codes find use in a variety of different applications involving analyte detection, such as screening and diagnostic applications.
