    Abstract: A stack or roll of alternating layers of films or sheets. The stack or roll includes an interlayer film or sheet with a thermochromic PVB of a polymer, at least one transition metal ion, at least one high epsilon ligand capable of forming a high epsilon metal-ligand complex with the transition metal ion and at least one low epsilon ligand capable of forming an low epsilon metal-ligand complex with the transition metal ion. A desiccant-containing film or sheet is juxtaposed or interleaved with the interlayer film or sheet. The desiccant-containing film or sheet prevents blocking of the interlayer film or sheet and is capable of removing moisture from the interlayer film or sheet. The desiccant-containing film or sheet is releasably attached to the interlayer film or sheet.

  • Patent number: 8652584
    Abstract: A method is disclosed herein for treating a polymeric surface to resist non-specific binding of biomolecules and attachment of cells. The method includes the steps of: imparting a charge to the polymeric surface to produce a charged surface; exposing the charged surface to a nitrogen-rich polymer to form a polymerized surface; exposing the polymerized surface to an oxidized polysaccharide to form an aldehyde surface; and exposing the aldehyde surface to a reducing agent. Advantageously, a method is provided which produces surfaces that resist non-specific protein binding and cell attachment and that avoids the use of photochemical reactions or prior art specially designed compounds.
