Abstract:
The present invention relates to a porous gelatin material in the form of spherical particles with a continuous pore structure and cast, three-dimensional, porous gelatin structures. The invention also comprises methods for preparation of said porous gelatin materials and structures. The method for preparing the porous gelatin material in the form of spheres with a continuous pore structure comprises the steps of preparing a homogenous water-based gelatin solution, adding an emulsifier with an HLD value >9, adding a first composition comprising an organic solvent and an emulsifier with an HLB value >9, adding a second composition comprising an organic solvent and an emulsifier with an HLB value
Abstract:
A process by which a porous spherical particle of polyamide (11) or polyamide (12) can be industrially advantageously produced is provided. A process comprises the steps of preparing a mixed solution having an initial viscosity of 10 mPa.s or higher by mixing a polyamide solution obtained by dissolving a polyamide selected from the group consisting of polyamide (11) and polyamide (12) in a phenol compound with a low molecular aliphatic alcohol that is a poor solvent to the polyamide and is miscible with the phenol compound in the presence of a polymeric alkylene glycol; and storing the mixed solution thereby depositing the polyamide in the form of a particle.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain a permeable membrane enhanced in the recovery ratio of albumin and efficiently removing a pathogenic macromolecule, constituted so as to have such a structure that dense layers are provided to both surfaces of a flat film type polyolefin membrane and an aggregate layer comprising independent fine particles having a specific particle size is formed between said dense layers and both surfaces are communicated by labyrinthine communicated pores. CONSTITUTION: Polypropylene, an org. filler easily soluble in an extractant such as liquid paraffin and a crystal nucleus forming agent such as 1,3,2,4-dibenzylidene sorbitol are melted and kneaded while the kneaded mixture is emitted from a die in a molten state to form a molten film which is, in turn, contacted with water in a cooling layer to be solidified under cooling while the solidified film is extracted with the extractant not dissolving polypropylene to remove the org. filler. Thus obtained flat film type permeable membrane 1 has a film thickness T of 10W500μm and has such a structure that dense layers 2a, 2b are formed to both surfaces and an aggregate layer 4 comprising independent fine particles with an average particle size of 0.01W5μm is formed therebetween and both surfaces are communicated with labyrinthine communicated pores 5.

Abstract:
Provided is a microporous material, e.g., a microporous sheet material, having a matrix of polyolefin, finely-divided, substantially water insoluble particulate filler, a network of interconnecting pores communicating throughout the microporous material, and at least one retrospectively identifiable taggant material embedded within the matrix, optionally the at least one taggant being unique to an end user for the microporous material, wherein the polyolefin is present in the microporous material in an amount of 20 to 35 weight percent, based on the weight of the microporous material. The taggant material provides a marker, signature or code that is capable of retrospective identification by machine, instrument or by the naked eye. Articles including the microporous material and processes for preparing the microporous material also are provided.
