Disclosed herein are methods specifically tailored for facilitating the mitigation of cosmetic impressions associated with fingerprint impressions on surface(s) of articles of manufacture made from anodized substrates. To this end, such methods provide for removal of fingerprints by enzymatically functionalizing the surface(s) of the article of manufacture (e.g., a cosmetic coating thereof) to generate an enzymatically active surface and activating such enzymatically functionalized surface(s) to promote such fingerprint removal. Thus methods and articles of manufacture made in accordance with such methods provide improved end-use utility and functionality of many products for consumer electronic applications, automotive applications, building materials applications, and the like.

Method of facilitating mitigation of cosmetic imperfections associated with fingerprint impressions on anodized materials and anodized materials treated for providing same

An oral suction device includes a suction catheter having a suction portion at a first end, a sponge surrounding the suction portion, a hydrogel or non-hydrogel polymer coating on the sponge, and a suction tubing connector on a second end opposite the first end. In some aspects the coating is a hydrogel coating that does not have macropores. A method of making an oral suction device may include dip-coating a sponge and forming macropores in the coating during the coating process.

Methods and systems described herein provide or use a wall structure for a hydrocarbon storage vessel. The wall structure includes an inner layer comprising a first rubber compound, a center layer comprising a fabric having a barrier layer applied to each side, and an outer layer comprising a second rubber compound.

Hydrocarbon storage vessels

Methods and systems described herein provide or use a wall structure for a hydrocarbon storage vessel. The wall structure includes an inner layer that includes a first rubber compound. A center layer includes a polymer film. An outer layer includes a second rubber compound.

Provided herein are methods for preparing a polyolefin containing one or more exo-olefinic end groups on the polyolefin chain, comprising quenching an ionized polyolefin with an alkoxysilane or an ether. In some embodiments, the methods are represented by the following scheme:  In some embodiments, the alkoxysilane or ether compound has the formula: wherein Y is carbon or silicon;Ris hydrocarbyl; and R-Rare each, independently, hydrogen or hydrocarbyl.

Preparation of exo-olefin terminated polyolefins via quenching with alkoxysilanes or ethers

Aqueous dispersions of carboxylated cellulose esters are disclosed having a low organic solvent content. These dispersions can be prepared using a volatile hydrophilic organic solvent and a coupling organic solvent having a lower volatility, the volatile hydrophilic solvent being substantially stripped off during preparation to obtain a dispersion useful in a variety of coating compositions, providing satisfactory performance in metallic flake control, flow and leveling properties, and defect reduction.
