Abstract:
The present invention is a method of producing porous beads, which comprises the steps of providing a first liquid phase comprising a bead matrix material and essentially edgy templating particle(s), said particle(s) being treated with a surface modifying agent; providing a second liquid phase which is immiscible with the first liquid phase; contacting the first phase and the second phase under conditions resulting in an emulsion of droplets comprised of the first liquid phase dispersed in the continuous second liquid phase; transforming the droplets to mesoporous beads by solidification of the liquid; and removing the templating particle(s) from the beads without causing any essential change of the surrounding bead, whereby hierarchical networks of pores are provided in the beads.
Abstract:
A method for forming an open cell texturized surface in a silicone elastomer layer of a breast implant, or other medical implant, is created by forming a layer of uncured silicone elastomer, applying a coating of particles to the surface thereof, and curing the layer by heating it at an elevated temperature which also volatilizes the particles such that their constituent gases boil through the surface of the layer and create the texturing.

Abstract:
A process for producing porous polymer material. The method combines a polymer and water-soluble granules to form a mixture. The mixture is placed into a mold; the surface of the polymer is dissolved to cause cohesion and form a polymer structure having water-soluble granules dispersed within, and water is introduced into the inner part of the polymer structure so that the polymer is solidified and water-soluble granules are washed out to obtain a porous polymer material. According to the invention, single or multiple layers of porous polymer material with different apertures, porosities, or made with different materials, are obtained by combining different polymer materials and water-soluble granules having different particle sizes in different weight ratios.
Abstract:
A method of producing silicone foam includes the step of adding a mechanical foaming agent to uncured silicone. The mechanical foaming agent is a plurality of solid bodies insoluble in the silicone. The method also includes the steps of curing the silicone and removing the mechanical foaming agent as intact solid bodies from the silicone thereby providing a silicone foam.
Abstract:
The invention relates to expandable polyolefin particles containing expanding agents, said particles being coated with between 0.01 and 3 wt. % of a salt and/or an ester of a long-chained fatty acid, preferably with calcium stearate, in order to prevent agglutination during expansion.
Abstract:
A porous cellulose sheet which has a structure less likely to develop curl and twist, and which can be continuously and stably manufactured, and a method for manufacturing such a sheet. The sheet has pores inside and formed with skin layers on both sides. The difference in thickness between the skin layers is not more than 50%.
Abstract:
To provide a method for manufacturing a polyimide and/or a polyamide imide porous membrane with which it is possible to prepare a varnish in which microparticles are satisfactorily dispersed, even when minute microparticles are used, and to manufacture a porous membrane using the varnish. The method for manufacturing a polyimide and/or a polyamide imide porous membrane comprises a step for preparing a porous membrane manufacturing composition containing microparticles and at least one resin component selected from the group consisting of polyamic acids, polyimides, polyamide imide precursors, polyamide imides, and polyethersulfones, the preparation step including a dispersion step for causing a slurry containing the microparticles to disperse by shear and compression or shock.
Abstract:
Provided is an oriented multilayer porous film comprising at least one layer comprising: a heat, solvent, and degradation resistant matrix polymer; a plurality of interconnecting pores; and a porosity less than 90%. The film is made by a dry and/or wet method, with its multilayer structure constructed by coextrusion, lamination, and coating. The film of this disclosure finds a wide range of applications as a permselective medium for use in energy harvesting and storage, filtration, separation and purification of gases and fluids, CO2 and volatile capture, electronics, devices, structural supports, packaging, labeling, printing, clothing, drug delivery systems, bioreactor, and the like. The film is preferably used as a separator of lithium-ion, lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, metal-air, and nonaqueous electrolyte batteries.
