Patent number: 9527964Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a new class of TPEs made from peptide terminated low Tg polymers and methods for making them. The middle block of these TPE is a telechelic polymer with a Tg that is below the intended service temperature of the TPE. The terminal peptide segments of these TPEs are short (from about 1 to about 10 amino acids long) and tend to from sheet type secondary structures through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, creating physical crosslinks between polymer chains. The dissimilarity of the peptide hard component and the elastomeric soft component results in very strong segregation between the microphase domains and a low plastic deformation for the resulting TPE. And since the Tm of the crystalline peptide phase can be adjusted, these new TPEs may be tailored to fit the intended service temperature and are melt-processable.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: The University of AkronInventors: Li Jia, Joseph P.

Publication number: 20080248126Abstract: Methods for efficient preparation of drug-polymer (or oligomer) conjugates which are useful in the preparation of particles, including microparticles and nanoparticles, for delivery of the drug in vivo for therapeutic applications. The invention additionally provides certain drug-polymer and drug-oligomer conjugates which are useful in the preparation of particles for delivery of the drug in vivo. The invention also provides nanoparticles of this invention prepared by nanoprecipitation using drug-polymer/oligomer conjugates of the invention. The drug conjugates are formed during polymerization of the polymer or oligomer in which the drug is employed as an initiator of the polymerization of the monomers which form the polymer and/or oligomer. More specifically, the drug conjugates are formed by ring-opening polymerization of cyclic monomers in the presence of an appropriate ring-opening polymerization catalyst and the initiator (the drug).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2008Publication date: October 9, 2008Inventors: Jianjun Cheng, Rong Tong

Publication number: 20080097065Abstract: The present invention includes a composition for a silicon-containing material used as an etch mask for underlying layers. More specifically, the silicon-containing material may be used as an etch mask for a patterned imprinted layer comprising protrusions and recessions. To that end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the composition includes a hydroxyl-functional silicone component, a cross-linking component, a catalyst component, and a solvent. This composition allows the silicon-containing material to selectively etch the protrusions and the segments of the patterned imprinting layer in superimposition therewith, while minimizing the etching of the segments in superposition with the recessions, and therefore allowing an in-situ hardened mask to be created by the silicon-containing material, with the hardened mask and the patterned imprinting layer forming a substantially planarized profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2006Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: Molecular Imprints, Inc.Inventors: Frank Y.
