20100273949 | Star macromolecules for personal and home care - A polymer composition comprising star macromolecules is provided. Each star macromolecule has a core and five or more arms, wherein the number of arms within a star macromolecule varies across the composition of star molecules. The arms on a star are covalently attached to the core of the star; each arm comprises one or more (co)polymer segments; and at least one arm and/or at least one segment exhibits a different solubility from at least one other arm or one other segment, respectively, in a reference liquid of interest. | 10-28-2010 |
20110213105 | Control over controlled radical polymerization processes - A procedure for improved temperature control in controlled radical polymerization processes is disclosed. The procedure is directed at controlling the concentration of the persistent radical in ATRP and NMP polymerizations procedures and the concentration of radicals in a RAFT polymerization process by feeding a reducing agent or radical precursor continuously or intermittently to the reaction medium through one of more ports. | 09-01-2011 |
20110263722 | Well Defined stars with segmented arms - The present invention relates to the preparation and use of well defined star macromolecules wherein the composition of the arms are selected to induce self assembly when the multi-arm segmented star macromolecules are dispersed in a liquid. The self assembled star macromolecules modify the rheology of the dispersing media. When targeting use in aqueous based systems the inner shell of the star macromolecules comprise non-ionizable monomer units. Compositions comprising the self assemblable star macromolecules are suitable for use as rheology modifiers in a number of applications including cosmetic and personal care compositions. | 10-27-2011 |
20110286935 | Multi-Functional Nano-Device - A universal drug delivery platform for monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics is described. This universal platform resolves the problems of immunogenic response associated with the present monoclonal antibody based therapeutics by providing a multifunctional nano-device which comprises a well defined core/shell nano-structure that can function as a drug delivery platform linked to a monoclonal antibody through a single linking group. | 11-24-2011 |
20130296495 | Star Macromolecules for Personal and Home Care - A polymer composition comprising star macromolecules is provided. Each star macromolecule has a core and five or more arms, wherein the number of arms within a star macromolecule varies across the composition of star molecules. The arms on a star are covalently attached to the core of the star; each arm comprises one or more (co)polymer segments; and at least one arm and/or at least one segment exhibits a different solubility from at least one other arm or one other segment, respectively, in a reference liquid of interest. | 11-07-2013 |
