  • Patent number: 11359088
    Abstract: Composite blends of PBAT (or another similar polyester) with PLA and a carbohydrate-based polymeric material. While PLA is not compostable under home composting conditions (e.g., temperature of 28° C.) on its own, when blended in the manner described herein, it is compositable under such conditions. The addition of the PLA increases the rigidity of the composite blend, as PBAT on its own is so flexible as to be problematic for use in carryout bags, and the like. An exemplary blend may include 30-55% by weight of the carbohydrate-based polymeric material, up to 20%, or up to 15% by weight of PLA, with the balance of polymeric content being PBAT (e.g., 30-60% PBAT).

  • Patent number: 11359090
    Abstract: Polymers are disclosed that incorporate portions of secondary or tertiary polyamide segments connected with polyisocyanates. These polymers have enhanced matting properties. The enhanced matting properties are from creating an inherently matt surface from the polymer without the use of any separate fine particle size matting additives. Conventional matting agents such as fine particle size silica usually results in loss of physical properties such as haze development and porosity in the coating from the matting agent. Composites and hybrids of these polymers and other polyamides, polyurethane with vinyl polymers (acrylates) are also disclosed and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11359102
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to UV-curable ink and coating compositions comprising cleavage type photoinitiators and acids. The acids may be inorganic or organic acids, or acids generated by a photoacid generator during UV-cure. Incorporation of the acids into the UV-curable ink and coating compositions results in a reduction of migratable photodecomposition products that are produced by cleavage type photoinitiators during UV-cure. The ink and coating compositions are particularly useful for use in applications that require low migration of low molecular weight materials, such as, for example, food packaging.

  • Patent number: 11359105
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical wristband with invisible information and a method for manufacturing the same. The conventional developed dyes or inks in the prior art can store information which, however, is visible. In the present invention, polystyrene (PS) microspheres are prepared by micro-emulsification: PS particles are dissolved in a toluene solution and a fluorescent dye is added to obtain a fluorescent solution; an SDS solution is added in and mixed with the fluorescent solution to obtain a system to be ultrasonically emulsified; and the system is ultrasonically emulsified and the toluene is completely volatilized. The ink can be used directly as an invisible ink. The information is written, as two-dimensional codes and by the ink, on a piece of non-fluorescent paper, and plastic-packaged onto a wristband of a patient. Information about a patient can be successfully scanned in the ease of UV on.
