Abstract:
Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition for use as a vehicle interior material, including: a biomass-derived resin having biomass-derived polyethylene; and an ASTM D6866 composition having a pMC value of 35 wt %. The thermoplastic resin composition for use as a vehicle interior material uses biomass-derived resin as a replacement for petroleum-based thermoplastic resin in order to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions and have an environmentally friendly effect.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a wound dressing with high absorption capacity and the method of manufacturing. The wound dressing is a knitted fabric comprising of a fluffy layer of gelling fibres and a layer of non-gelling fibres as the backing. The gelling fibres are knitted onto the backing structure and the length fluffy fibre outside the backing structure is between 1-100 mm, preferably 5-50 mm. The wound dressing can be used to manage chronic wounds such as venous stasis ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic ulcer wounds.
Abstract:
A microsphere and method for forming the same are disclosed. The microsphere includes modified cellulose and at least one of a visualization agent, a magnetic material, or a radioactive material.
Abstract:
A method of dissolving cellulose, comprising: firstly heating and activating the cellulose by using a heating apparatus, and then dissolving by using a solvent. The temperature of the heating and the activating is 130° C.-270° C., the time period of the heating is 0.1-100 hours, and the solvent is an aqueous solution including 6 wt %-12 wt % sodium hydroxide and 0.1 wt %-6 wt % zinc oxide. The method of dissolving comprises: heating and activating the cellulose with a degree of polymerization of DP=300-700, dispersing the cellulose into the solvent, and freezing under a temperature of −10˜-30° C. for 0.1-50 hours; then unfreezing under a condition of no more than 32° C., and standing or stirring by machine during the process of unfreezing so as to dissolve and obtain a cellulose solution with a concentration of 3 wt %-12 wt %. The obtained cellulose solution has a good solubility and stability that maintains a relatively good stability after being stood under a temperature of −8 to 32° C. for a few days. The cellulose solution can be used in the preparation of fibers, films or sponges, and is suitable for industrial production.
Abstract:
A protein composition which comprises a mixture of glycine, phenylalanine and histidine and/or a cellulose ether derivative as an additive and has resistance to radiation sterilization.
Abstract:
A polymer composition includes a base polymer comprising a hydrocarbon rubber, an acrylic copolymer, and a refined oil in which the acrylic polymer is dispersed. The polymer composition is swellable when treated with an aqueous medium, non-aqueous medium, or both. A sealing element for a flow channel includes an expandable section filled with a swellable composition that swells when treated with a swelling material. The swellable composition includes the polymer composition, and the swelling material may be aqueous, non-aqueous, or both.
Abstract:
Thermoplastic compositions containing a natural filler and, more specifically, thermoplastic compositions containing a natural filler and having improved thermal and weathering resistance. The wood-plastic composites utilize a cellulose filler, such as wood flour, and vegetal fibers, such as Curauá fiber, as a reinforcement filler. The issues with regard to thermal degradation of cellulose during processing are reduced through the use of specific additives designed to improve its performance during processing. Additionally, other additives are included to improve the UV resistance. Specific combinations of thermal stabilizer and UV additive are provided that enhance the thermal resistance and weathering resistance of the compositions as compared to prior art systems.
Abstract:
Novel articles, in particular films, made from polymers, which are elastic, impermeable to water and permeable to water vapor. Said articles are made from a composition comprising a dispersion of an elastomer in an aqueous solvent, a hydrophilic compound and a cross-linking agent.
Abstract:
An absorbent material for use in wound dressings is provided. The absorbent material comprises a blend of a superabsorbent gel-forming fibre and a non gel-forming fibre, wherein the blend of fibres does not comprise a superabsorbent gel-forming fibre formed from a polysaccharide.
Abstract:
