  • TARDIGRADE DISORDERED PROTEINS AS PROTEIN STABILIZERS
    Publication number: 20240101617
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for stabilizing proteins. The invention provides compositions comprising at least one tardigrade disordered protein (TDP) and at least one heterologous polypeptide and/or peptide of interest. Further provided are methods for stabilizing proteins and for producing organisms and cells having increased tolerance to desiccation and/or drought.

  • Coupled alcohol ethoxylates for improved thermal properties
    Publication number: 20040086795
    Abstract: Coupled alcohol ethoxylates made by reacting alcohol ethoxylates with a diisocyanate have been found to improve the thermal properties of toner compositions and powder coatings. The alcohol ethoxylates have saturated linear alcohol portions of from about 20-70 carbon atom chain lengths. The diisocyanates may be aromatic diisocyanates such as toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and/or methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). Preferably, about one mole of diisocyanate is reacted with about two moles of the alcohol ethoxylates to form the coupled alcohol ethoxylates that are useful compatibilizers to improve the homogeneity of toner compositions and powder coating compositions.
