A composition that includes an activatable aggregate is described herein. The aggregate has a core and a shell. In some embodiments, when the aggregate is exposed to acoustic energy, the core of the aggregate includes a hydrogel that is capable of absorbing a relatively large amount of water. The core of the aggregate is covalently bound to a shell of linear aliphatic moieties. The aggregate is synthesized to minimize the amount of water in the core, prior to exposure to acoustic energy. Methods of hydrating using the compositions are also provided.

Acoustically-activated cosmetic hydrogels

Methods of producing graphene, reaction chambers for forming graphene, and graphene sheets formed from the methods are described herein. A method may include adding at least one metal catalyst in a reaction chamber, adding at least one hydrocarbon gas in the reaction chamber, allowing the at least one metal catalyst and the at least one hydrocarbon gas to contact one another to produce a product, and dehydrogenating the product to produce the graphene.

Ice phobic coatings and substrates and methods of making and using them are described. Some embodiments provide for an ice-phobic coating including a hydrophobic entity bonded to a hydrophilic moiety, wherein the hydrophilic moiety is capable of lowering a freezing point of water. Some embodiments provide for an ice-phobic article including a substrate having the ice-phobic coating applied on the substrate. In some embodiments, a method of making an ice-phobic coating may include bonding the hydrophobic entity with the hydrophilic moiety. In some embodiments, a method of making an ice-phobic article includes applying the ice-phobic coating to a substrate. Some embodiments also provide for a kit for making an ice-phobic article. Such ice-phobic coatings may be used to coat or impregnate winter equipment, cloth, shoes, sporting equipment, road signs, traffic lights, sidewalks, aircrafts, vehicles, or the like.

Methods and compositions pertaining to flame retardants using micronized rice husks are disclosed.

Flame retardants

Technologies are generally described for a method and compounds for managing dag on hair. The method of managing dag on hair includes applying a low energy compound including a silicone and a terminal reactive group to the hair and applying a hair binding moiety to the hair for functionalizing the low energy compound, at its terminal reactive group, to bind to the hair. The applied low energy compound enables ease of removal of dag from the hair or mitigation of dag formation on the hair. The functionalized low energy compound may be made prior to the application to the hair.

Hydrophilic coating compositions and methods to make and use the compositions are disclosed. The compositions include a polymer comprising a plurality of isocyanate groups and a blocking agent contacting at least one of the plurality of isocyanate groups.

Self-renewing hydrophilic organic coatings

Presented herein are compositions and articles including a crosslinkable polymer that produces a crosslinked polymer upon exposure to light and/or heat. In some embodiments, the compositions are used to fill fine lines and wrinkles to provide a cosmetic benefit. In other embodiments, the compositions and articles have desirable release properties for embedded materials.

Photo-activated hydrogels

Presented herein are compositions and articles including a crosslinkable polymer that produces a crosslinked polymer upon exposure to light and/or heat. In some embodiments, the compositions are used to fill fine lines and wrinkles to provide a cosmetic benefit. In certain embodiments, the compositions and articles have desirable release properties for embedded materials.

Hydrophilic coating compositions and methods to make and use the compositions are disclosed. The compositions include a polymer comprising one or more cyanate groups and a blocking agent contacting at least one of one or more cyanate groups. When exposed to atmospheric water, the blocked cyanate moieties at the surface may hydrolyze to expose hydrophilic groups. Thus, the hydrophobic polymeric surface may change to a hydrophilic surface upon reacting with atmospheric water and moisture.

Coatings that provide hydrophilic surface

Embodiments presented herein relate to acrylamide derivatives and uses thereof. Examples of such derivatives include acrylamide pyranose and other acrylamides that have other carbohydrate or 5 or 6 membered rings attached thereto. The compositions can be used for a variety of purposes, e.g., cosmetics, construction, scaffold materials, hydrogels, food additives, baby diapers, tubing sieves, etc.

Acrylamide derivatives

A method of preserving cellulosic material is provided. The method includes contacting the cellulosic material with a paraben-containing monomer and polymerizing the paraben-containing monomer to provide a polymer impregnated within the cellulosic material; or alternatively, first polymerizing the paraben-containing monomer to give a polymer comprising repeat units formed of the monomer and contacting the cellulosic material with the polymer under pressure to provide the polymer impregnated with the cellulosic material. Articles including the cellulosic material and at least one polymer which includes paraben moieties are also provided, such as a wooden plank, a utility pole, a railroad tie, a ship's hull, a wooden utensil, a toy, a model, a piece of furniture, a vehicle, or a serving dish.

Paraben derivatives for preserving cellulosic materials

Hydrophilic, self-cleaning coating compositions and methods to make and use the compositions are disclosed. The coatings comprise perlite and/or expanded perlite that are activated with hydrophilic agents. The perlites when incorporated in paints provide hydrophilic, self-cleaning and/or biocidal property to the coating.
