The present invention relates to adhesives comprising polymeric material wherein the structure of the polymeric material contains elastic amorphous areas of nano scale-size reinforced with self arranged crystalline domains of nano-crystals.

Adhesives comprising linear isotactic polymers

An anti-microbial, curable silicone rubber composition and method for making same, comprising in at least a portion of the exposed surface of said composition an organic matrix containing homogeneously dispersed particles of metallic silver having a particle size in the range of 1 to 50 nm (silver nanoparticles) in an amount providing on the surface of said composition an anti-microbially effective but less than cytotoxic silver concentration.

Anti-microbial silicone rubber composition and method for making same

The present invention relates to polymeric compositions comprising at least one polyolefin and a compatibilizer and/or a modifier. The polymeric composition comprises a first component and a second component, the first component being a first polymeric material comprising C2 to C20 linear or branched stereoregular polyolefins. The second component is a polyolefinic homopolymer having an isotacticity within the range of 25% to 60% of &lsqb;mmmm&rsqb; pentad concentration.

Compatbilizer and modifier for polymeric compositions comprising polyolefins

The present invention relates to form materials comprising polymeric material wherein the structure of the polymeric material contains elastic amorphous areas of nano-scale-size reinforced with self arranged crystalline domains of nano-crystals.

Foam material comprising linear, isotactic polymers

The present invention relates to articles comprising elements at least partially coated with polymeric material wherein the structure of the polymeric material contains elastic amorphous areas of nano-scale-size reinforced with self arranged crystalline domains of nano-crystals. An article, comprising an element and a polymeric coating material covering at least portion of the surface of said element characterized in that said coating material comprises a polyolefinic homopolymer having an isotacticity of less than 60% of mmmm pentad concentration, is claimed.

Coating material comprising linear isotactic polymers

An anti-microbial body care product comprising in the part contacting the human or animal skin and/or mucosa and organic matrix containing homogeneously dispersed particles of a metallic silver having a particle size in the range of 1 to 50 nm (silver nanoparticles) in an amount providing on the surface of said part and anti-microbially effective but less than cytotoxic silver concentration. Preferred body care products are disposable absorbent articles, toothbrushes, cosmetic products and baby comforting products.

Anti-microbial body care product

A throat drop comprises from 60% to 95% of an edible shell and from 5% to 40% of an aqueous filling, by weight of the drop. The filling contains a throat relief agent, from 8% to 95%, by weight, water and from 0.001% to 10%, by weight, of a vesicle-forming agent which encapsulates the throat relief agents with vesicles which are dispersed within the filling. The vesicles have a number average particle size of from about 1 to about 100 &mgr;m.

Throat soothing compositions

A throat drop comprises from 60 to 95% of a candy shell and from 5 to 40% of an aqueous filling, by weight of the drop. The filling comprises, by weight, by 8 to 20% water, from 50 to 85% bulk sweetener, and sufficient emulsifier to provide a contact angle of from 90&deg; to 120&deg;, the filling having a contact angle of greater than 120&deg; in the absence of the emulsifier. The reduction in contact angle relative to a composition without the emulsifier provides an improved perception of liquidity of the filling.

Center filled confectionery

A confectionery product, suitable for the relief of cough and cold like symptoms, includes from about 0.5% to about 80%, by weight, of a coolant composition and from about 20% to about 99.5%, by weight, of a flavour composition in separate, distinct and discrete regions thereof. The coolant and flavour compositions are adapted to provide different release profiles.

Confectionery product and preparation thereof

The invention relates to a dental filling material containing at least one polymerizable (meth)-acrylic acid ester, characterized in that it contains 20 to 90% by weight, calculated on the total composition, of a compound consisting of the structural element E2 and at least one of the structural elements E1 and/or E3 and/or E4 of the general formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 denotes a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl or an unsubstituted or CH.sup.3 --C.sub.3 H.sub.7 --substituted phenyl radical, R.sub.2 denotes a CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--, CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCOO(CH.sub.2).sub.n --]or ##STR2## or R.sub.1, n denotes 0, 1, 2 or 3, and M denotes titanium or zirconium.
