Publication number: 20120045658Abstract: Metalized plastic substrates, and methods thereof are provided herein. The method includes providing a plastic substrate having a plurality of accelerators dispersed in the plastic substrate. The accelerators have a formula selected from the group consisting of: CuFe2O4-?, Ca0.25Cu0.75TiO3-?, and TiO2-?, wherein ?, ?, ? denotes oxygen vacancies in corresponding accelerators and 0.05???0.8, 0.05???0.5, and 0.05???1.0. The method further includes removing at least a portion of a surface of the plastic substrate to expose at least a first accelerator. The method further includes plating the exposed surface of the plastic substrate to form at least a first metal layer on the at least first accelerator, and then plating the first metal layer to form at least a second metal layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2011Publication date: February 23, 2012Inventors: Qing Gong, Liang Zhou, Weifeng Miao

Publication number: 20120040395Abstract: Enzyme catalyst immobilized on porous flouropolymer supports. Catalytically active enzymes can be bound to a variety of fluoropolymer supports for use as a reaction catalyst. Moreover, consistently high rate of conversion during catalyst re-use over time is achieved. Furthermore, inactive enzyme catalyst can be stripped from the support and fresh enzyme can be bound to the support to achieve the original conversion rate. The immobilization of catalytic enzymes on porous fluoropolymers is a viable and novel technology for the preparation of advantaged catalysts.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2010Publication date: February 16, 2012Applicant: EASTMAN CHEMICAL COMPANYInventor: Stephanie Kay Clendennen

Publication number: 20110305909Abstract: Processes are described herein for preparing medical devices and other articles having a low-fouling surface on a substrate comprising a polymeric surface. The polymeric surface material may possess a range of polymeric backbones and substituents while providing the articles with a highly efficient, biocompatible, and non-fouling surface. The processes involve treating the substrate to reduce the concentration of chemical species on the surface of or in the substrate without altering the bulk physical properties of the device or article, and thereafter forming a grafted polymer layer on the treated substrate surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Inventors: Douglas J.K. Weaver, Jun Li, Zheng Zhang, Abby N. Deleault, Eric W. Marchese, Phu C. Nguyen, Chad C. Huval, Michael A. Bouchard, Arthur J. Coury, Christopher R. Loose
