Patent number: 11111395Abstract: Surface structured articles comprising a polymer matrix and a dispersed phase, the article having first and second opposed major surfaces, at least a portion of the first major surface is a microstructured, anisotropic surface comprises features having at least one dimension in a range from 1 micrometer to 500 micrometers, wherein the dispersed phase comprises an antimicrobial material, and wherein at least a portion of the dispersed phase is present on the microstructured, anisotropic surface. Surface structured articles are useful, for example, for marine applications (e.g., surfaces in contact with water (e.g., fresh water, ocean water)) such as boats, ships, piers, oil rigs, decks, and roofing materials.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Timothy J.

Patent number: 9290580Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Simon K. Shannon, Catherine A. Bothof, Babu N. Gaddam, Jerald K. Rasmussen, Richard B. Ross
