Abstract: Articles that contain a solid support with a grafted chain extending from the solid support, methods of making these articles, and various uses of the articles are described. More specifically, the grafted chain has a functional group that can react with or interact with target compound. Alternatively, the functional group on the grafted chain can react with a modifying agent to provide another group that can react with or interact with the target compound. The grafted chains are attached to the solid support through a ring-opened azlactone group. The articles can be used to purify the target compound or to separate the target compound from other molecules in a sample.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes having flame retarding properties include a backing and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer includes a (meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, and may also include at least 10% by weight of a halogen-free flame retarding agent. The adhesive layer may contain additional optional additives such as tackifying resins, plasticizers, and the like. The tapes are prepared by coating the flame retarding pressure sensitive adhesive onto the backing, either in solvent or by a solventless process.
