Coating materials and coated personal protective clothing items incorporating the coating material are described. The coating material includes a polymeric component; a metal oxide component; and a catalytic component. The catalytic component includes a metal oxide or a mixed metal oxide which is an effective catalyst for an oxidation reaction. The coated personal protective clothing item includes a personal protective clothing substrate with a coating including the coating material.

Coating materials, and personal protective clothing items coated with the coating materials

A cationic surfactant and a method of making the cationic surfactant are described. The method comprises reacting a lipophilic bio-based material having at least one epoxy functional group and a hydrophilic organic compound having at least one cationic functional group and at least one hydroxyl functional group to form a reaction product containing a stable ether linkage connecting the lipophilic bio-based material to the organic compound. At least a portion of the cationic functional groups is neutralized or ion exchanged with an organic acid. Incorporation of the simple organic acid reduces the surfactant's aquatic toxicity and acts as a substrate to encourage co-digestion of the surfactant molecule, making the compound more biodegradable.

Cationic surfactants comprising an ether link

Provided are poly(AAG)-compositions, and corresponding coatings, foams, and coated articles. Also provided are methods for preparing the poly(AAG)-compositions and corresponding reagents including, e.g., polyol-AAG compositions. Coatings using the poly(AAG)-compositions may be useful for, e.g., replacing bisphenol-A cross-linked coatings used in food and beverage containers, coating metal articles, and the like.

BPA-free coatings

Processes for producing polymer microcapsules using vicinal functional oligomers are also described. The vicinal functional oligomers can be made by polymerizing an acrylate monomer, a styrene monomer, or both in the presence of a chain transfer agent. The vicinal functional oligomers can be reacted with epichlorohydrin to form vicinal epoxies. The vicinal epoxies can be reacted with polyamines to form epoxy polymer microspheres. The vicinal epoxies can be reacted with carbon dioxide in the presence of a catalyst to form vicinal cyclic carbonates. The vicinal cyclic carbonates can be reacted with polyamines to form isocyanate-free polymer microspheres. Polymer microspheres made by the processes are also described.

Formaldehyde free microspheres and encapsulation

A releasable encapsulation composition is described. The composition comprises a plurality of capsules, each capsule comprising an amphiphilic material encapsulating a substance, such as an active ingredient. The substance is releasable from encapsulation by a change in the amphiphilic material triggered by a change in the environment around the capsule.

Releasable encapsulation compositions

Improved meals, improved meal compositions, and improved aquaculture feed compositions are provided based on plant meal, wherein anti-nutritional effects of one or more anti-nutritional substances (ANS) are mitigated. Also provided are methods for making and using the improved meals, improved meal compositions, and improved aquaculture feed compositions. Also provided are kits using the improved meals, improved meal compositions, and improved aquaculture feed composition. The improved meals, improved meal compositions, and improved aquaculture feed compositions demonstrate that plant meal protein digestibility may be improved, for example, for replacing fish meal protein.

Mitigation of anti-nutritional substances in plant meal

Provided are poly(AAG)-compositions, and corresponding coatings, foams, and coated articles. Also provided are methods for preparing the poly(AAG)-compositions and corresponding reagents including. e.g., polyol-AAG compositions. Coatings using the poly(AAG)-compositions may be useful for, e.g., replacing bisphenol-A cross-linked coatings used in food and beverage containers, coating metal articles, and the like.

Linear &#x3b1;, &#x3c9;-nonadecanediester derivatives and methods of making the derivatives are described. The methods include reacting a linear &#x3b1;, &#x3c9;-nonadecanediester or a linear &#x3b1;, &#x3c9;-nonadecanedicarboxylic acid with a reactant optionally in the presence of at least one of a solvent and a catalyst to form the &#x3b1;, &#x3c9;-nonadecanediester derivative. Methods of making linear &#x3b1;, &#x3c9;-nonadecanediester or diester derivatives are also described.

Methods of making 1,19-nonadecanediester and derivatives thereof

Provided are polytriglyceride-AAG compositions, and corresponding coatings and coated articles. Also provided are methods for preparing the polytriglyceride-AAG compositions, and corresponding reagents including &#x3b2;-ketoimide compositions and triglyceride-AAG (acetoacetyl group) compositions. Coatings using the polytriglyceride-AAG compositions may be useful for, e.g., replacing bisphenol-A cross-linked coatings used in food and beverage containers, coating metal articles, and the like.

There is provided a composition comprising covalently linked segments of for example, polycaprolactone and polyethylene glycol that are linked by a cross-linker. Such a composition foams in the presence of a catalyst and a solution containing an oxygen forming chemical like hydrogen peroxide. The foamed composition retains oxygen for delivery to, for example, a wound, where it aids in healing.

Foams for oxygen delivery to wounds

In a method of producing a polymer composite, a polymer is provided in a liquid state such as a molten state. A plant material, such as soymeal, is provided that includes protein and carbohydrate. The plant material has a particle size less than 50 microns. A reactive protein denaturant is also provided. A dispersion of the plant material and the reactive protein denaturant is formed in a matrix of the liquid polymer. The plant material is reacted to bond with the reactive protein denaturant, and the reactive protein denaturant is reacted to bond with the polymer. The polymer is solidified to produce the polymer composite.
