Abstract: Provided are functional segregated telodendrimers having, for example, two or three functional segments. The telodendrimers can have one or more crosslinking groups (e.g., reversible photocrosslinking groups). The telodendrimers can aggregate to form nanocarriers. Cargo such as drugs, imaging probes, and other materials may be sequestered in the core of the aggregates via non-covalent or covalent interactions with the telodendrimers. Such nanocarriers may be used in drug delivery applications and imaging applications.

Abstract: The invention discloses new substituted anthraquinone dyes that may be useful as cellular stains. In some aspect of the invention, the nuclear stains are useful for staining the nuclei of dead or fixed cells. Another aspect of the invention relates to substituted anthraquinone dyes comprising an enzyme substrate moiety that is transformable or cleavable by an enzyme such that the transformation or cleavage of the substrate moiety causes a detectable change in the functionality or spectral properties of the dye.

Abstract: The invention relates to anthraquinone polysulfonamide colorants derived from colored disulfonyl chlorides containing anthraquinone chromophores by reacting with various diamines. The anthraquinone polysulfonamide colorants are useful for coloring a wide variety of products such as plastics, fibers, films, cosmetics, skin creams or lotions, polishes, waxes, hair colorations, coatings, paints, inks, etc. and are particularly useful in end uses where sublimation, migration, extraction and exudation of presently used colorants are problems.

Abstract: Dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 independently of one another are the radical of a monoazo, polyazo, metal complex azo, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, formazan, azomethine, dioxazine, phenazine, stilbene, triphenylmethane, xanthene, thioxanthone, nitroaryl, naphthoquinone, pyrenequinone or perylenetetracarbimide dye,R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently of one another are hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl,Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 independently of one another are halogen, carboxypyridinium, substituted or unsubstituted amino or a heterocyclic radical bonded via a nitrogen atom andn is a number from 1 to 7,are particularly suitable for dyeing or printing fiber materials containing hydroxyl groups or nitrogen. Dyeings with good fastness properties are obtained with a high dyeing yield.

Abstract: Anthraquinonic colorant represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Q.sup.1 and Q.sup.2 are each independently substituted or unsubstituted anthraquinonyl groups, Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 are bridge groups, A is an aromatic divalent group, and n is 0 or 1. The polarizing film which contains at least one colorant of the present invention in a hydrophobic resin, has excellent durability and moisture resistance.

Abstract: An anthraquinone compound represented by formula: ##STR1## wherein R and X are as defined in the specification, and a polarizing film containing the same.
