Flexible packages, transdermal drug delivery devices, and methods for fabricating packages are provided. An exemplary flexible package includes a chemical and moisture resistant layer formed from poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene-co-vinylidene fluoride) ('P(CTFE-co-VDF)') copolymer. Further, the exemplary flexible package includes a substance to be delivered. The substance is applied to or enclosed by the chemical and moisture resistant layer.

Flexible substrates with chemical and moisture resistance

Luminescent compositions are provided having improved color intensity and articles incorporating said luminescent compositions as security taggants, for example as anti-counterfeiting components in pharmaceutical packaging applications, or as aesthetic colorants that are generally usable in any application where luminescent coloration is desired. The luminescent compositions incorporate a particulate fluoropolymer that is blended with one or more luminescent pigments and/or luminescent dyes. These components are provided in a liquid medium in which the fluoropolymer particles are dispersed and with which the pigment(s)/dye(s) may or may not be soluble.

Milk lumilux dispersion

Disclosed is a copolymer film that includes a first comonomer including a chlorofluoro olefin and a second comonomer that is selected from the group consisting of itaconic acid, 2,3-dihydropyran, D-glucal, glycerine carbonate vinyl ether, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, maleic anhydride, vinylidene chloride, and mixtures thereof.

Fluoropolymers containing a copolymerized fluoromonomer and a functional hydrocarbon comonomer and articles made from such fluoropolymers

Methods for synthesizing stabilized polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene and products manufactured using such polymers are disclosed herein. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for synthesizing chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE)-based polymers includes reacting, in the presence of an initiator and in a reaction medium at a pH of about 1.5 to about 2.5, one or more monomers comprising CTFE and after an amount of polymerization reaction time has passed, adding a neutralizing agent to the reaction medium to increase the pH of the reaction medium to within a range of about 1.8 to about 6.0.

A polymeric molecule having the formula: X&#x2014;[C(A)C(B)(B')]-Q[CY&#x2550;C(Z)(Z&#x2032;)] or [C(A)=C(B)]-Q[C(Y)(Y&#x2032;)&#x2014;C(Z)(Z&#x2032;)]&#x2014;X&#x2032;, wherein A is either H or F; B and B&#x2032; are either H, F, or Cl, and are not necessarily the same; X and X&#x2032; are Br, Cl or I (and are not necessarily the same); Y and Y&#x2032; are F, Br, Cl or I (and are not necessarily the same); and wherein Z and Z&#x2032; are F, Br, Cl or I (and are not necessarily the same); Q is optional and is either oxygen (O) or sulfur (S); and n is at least 1.

Process, properties, and applications of graft copolymers

Fluorinated macromonomers, a PCTFE-g-poly(M) graft copolymer, and moisture barrier films and articles formed therefrom are provided. The PCTFE-g-poly(M) graft copolymers have a PCTFE backbone component and a plurality of pendant groups attached to the PCTFE backbone component.

A polyvinylidene difluoride copolymer with a fluoroolefin selected from 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene, 2-chloro-pentafluoropropene, hexafluoropropylene, trifluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropene and a mixture thereof, wherein the stoichiometry of the co-monomers defines the barrier properties of the copolymer. Such polymers include moisture barrier copolymers and oxygen barrier copolymer. Processes for preparing such moisture barrier copolymers and oxygen barrier copolymers are also provided.

Copolymers for barriers

Security films that are useful for pharmaceutical packaging. In particular, anti-counterfeiting security films having a luminescent composition on or in a fluoropolymer layer, which luminescent composition luminesces upon the application of ultraviolet radiation in the 200 nm to 300 nm range, in which the luminescent component is optionally and preferably not viewable to the unaided eye. The films are particularly useful for the formation of anti-counterfeiting blister packaging in compliance with FDA regulations.

Security taggants in adhesive plastic film laminate for pharmaceutical packaging

The present invention provides a novel, optionally surfactant-free process for controlling particle number, particle size, and/or particle size distribution. The method of the invention also significantly improves monomer to polymer conversion rates, as well as, increases the level of polymer solids which can be emulsified/dispersed in water without polymer flocculation. Specifically, the improved process provides an aqueous dispersion of up to about 48% polymer solids in water in the absence of surfactant. The resulting fluoropolymers dispersions may be used in resin and coating applications.
