2034 results about "Functional polymers" patented technology

Functional polymers are polymers with advanced optic and/or electronic properties. Advantages of functional polymers are low cost, ease of processing and a range of attractive mechanical characteristics for functional organic molecules. One can adjust properties while keeping material usage low. This opens interesting environmental perspectives. Polymer bound substances can spread their activity without endangering people or the environment. The new REACH legislation will require chemical industry to come up with safe chemicals. Functional polymers can help achieve this goal. Examples of functional polymers are; Semiconducting Conjugated Polymers Stimuli-Responsive Polymers Biomimetic Materials Supramolecular Metallopolymers

Isolation of cells or the like from bodily fluids

Spheroidal beads present an exterior surface of a hydrophilic hydrogel, which is an isocyanate-functional polymer that is polymerized by urethane bonds and cross-linked by urethane and urea bonds. Sequestering agents present at the surface are covalently bound to isocyanate groups or to intermediate linkers that are so bound. These beads allow sequestering agents to retain their native three-dimensional configuration, and as a result of such surface characteristics and hydrophilicity, they achieve highly effective capture of very small subpopulations of rare cells from bodily fluids or the like and very effectively deter nonspecific binding of other biomaterials present in such bodily fluid. They may be all-hydrogel spheroids or hydrogel-coated substrates.
