  • Publication number: 20110117296
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, including an interpenetrating polymer network structure in a cured state and comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive strength stabilizer; a polarizer; and a liquid crystal display. In the present invention, by using the stabilizer having a functional group capable of rapidly reacting with a multifunctional crosslinking agent, the change of the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength over time is quickly terminated right after preparation, thereby the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is rapidly stabilized. The pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention has an excellent removability in a room-temperature or warming condition. Also, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can efficiently suppress light leakage, and has an excellent workability and durability in a high-temperature and/or high-humidity condition.

Moreover, a novel surface-modified nanofiller utilizes this type of polymer composite material. The polymer composite material contains nanofillers, fluorocompounds and polymers. Fluoruocompounds bond to the surface of the nanofillers. The nanofillers to which fluorocompounds are surface-bonded are mixed with or dispersed in polymers.

  • Publication number: 20100160960
    Abstract: A hydrogel tissue adhesive having increased degradation time is described. The hydrogel tissue adhesive is formed by reacting an oxidized polysaccharide with a water-dispersible, multi-arm amine in the presence of a polyol additive, which retards the degradation of the hydrogel. The hydrogel may be useful as a tissue adhesive or sealant for medical applications, including but not limited to, ophthalmic applications such as sealing wounds resulting from trauma such as corneal lacerations, or from surgical procedures such as vitrectomy procedures, cataract surgery, LASIK surgery, glaucoma surgery, and corneal transplants; neurosurgery applications, such as sealing the dura; as a plug to seal a fistula or the punctum; adhesion prevention to prevent undesired tissue to tissue adhesions resulting from trauma or surgery; and as a hemostat sealant.

  • Publication number: 20100143738
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel biolatex conjugate compositions and methods of production and use thereof. The novel biolatex conjugate compositions comprise a biopolymer-additive complex (prepared by co-extruding a biopolymer feedstock, at least one performance-enhancing additive, and at least one plasticizer under shear forces) reacted with a crosslinking agent under shear forces. The biolatex conjugate compositions exhibit enhanced performance properties for coated paper, paperboard, and other applications using extremely low levels of performance-enhancing additives.
