The present disclosure provides a coating composition for forming a coating that at least partially mobilizes in response to UV light, the composition comprising a monomer selected from acrylates, methacrylates and mixtures thereof, a cross-linking agent comprising two sub-units covalently bonded together, each sub-unit comprising an unsaturated group which is co-polymerisable with the monomer, wherein the two sub-units are adapted to dissociate in response to irradiation by UV light. The cross-linking agent may be present in the coating composition in an amount of less than 15 mol % of the total of the monomer and cross-linking agent.

The present invention relates to a method for isolating proteins from a solution containing the proteins. The invention also relates to a method for the chromatographic separation of proteins. The present invention also relates to crosslinked hydroxylic polymer particles functionalized with temperature-responsive copolymer, and to methods of preparing such particles.

Porous zirconia or zirconium-containing particles, methods of making such particles and methods of using such particles including modifications to the surface of the particles are described. The method comprises heating zirconia particles to provide a substantially homogeneously liquid melt, quenching the particles of melt to effect spinodal decomposition to provide quench particles of a silica rich phase and a zirconia rich phase, annealing the quenched particles to provide non porous solid particles of zirconia and silica and, leaching the silica from these particles to produce porous solid zirconia particles comprising a three dimensionally substantially continuous interpenetrating network of interconnected pores.
