Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include glass cores with vias that are lined by a self-healing liner. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises a substrate that comprises a solid glass layer with an opening through a thickness of the substrate. In an embodiment, a liner is in contact with a sidewall of the opening, where the liner comprises a polymer matrix with capsules distributed through the polymer matrix. In an embodiment, each capsule comprises a shell, and a core within the shell. In an embodiment, the core comprises an organic material. In an embodiment, a via is in the opening and in contact with the liner, and the via is electrically conductive.

Abstract: Hybrid cores including adhesive promotion layers and related methods are disclosed. An example substrate core for an integrated circuit disclosed herein includes a frame including interior edge, a glass panel including an exterior edge, and an adhesion promotion layer disposed between the interior edge and the exterior edge.

Abstract: Described herein are antimicrobial copolymers comprising (i) a polymer backbone and a plurality of thiouronium groups covalently bonded to the polymer backbone and (ii) a plurality of quaternary ammonium groups covalently bonded to the polymer backbone. Also described herein are methods for making the copolymers described herein and their use in disinfecting compositions.

Abstract: Described herein stabilized polysiloxane particles and methods for making and using the same. In one aspect, the composite includes (a) a polysiloxane comprising one or more positively charged groups and a negatively charged polyelectrolyte polymer or (b) a polysiloxane comprising one or more negatively charged groups and a positively charged polyelectrolyte polymer. Additionally, components such as, for example, inorganic drying agent, a filler, a reinforcing agent, magnetic particles, a wet/dry indicator, a pharmaceutical agent, a catalyst, or any combination thereof. The composites are effective in encapsulating hydrophobic materials that can subsequently be dispersed in aqueous medium.
