20070299141 - Novel self-reversible reverse microlatex process for preparing it and cosmetic and industrial uses thereof: A self-reversible reverse microlatex composition comprising an oil phase, an aqueous phase, a water-in-oil surfactant(s), a oil-in-water surfactant(s) and 15% to 40% by weight by weight of a branched or crosslinked polyelectrolyte. The polyelectrolyte is based on a monomer containing a strong or weak acid function, which is partially or... Agent: Young & Thompson

20070299142 - Use of oil-soluble surfactants as breaker enhancers for ves-gelled fluids: Fluids viscosified with viscoelastic surfactants (VESs) may have their viscosities reduced (gels broken) by the direct or indirect action of an internal breaker composition that contains at least one mineral oil, at least one polyalphaolefin oil, at least one saturated fatty acid and/or at least one unsaturated fatty acid. The... Agent: Madan, Mossman & Sriram, P.C.

20070299143 - Method for demulsifying: The invention relates to a method for separating emulsions of oil and water, the method comprising incorporating a demulsifying-effective amount of a silicone demulsifier into an emulsion comprising an oil phase and an aqueous phase, the silicone demulsifier having a molecular structure comprising a polysiloxane backbone of at least two... Agent: Dilworth & Barrese, LLP

20070293588 - Curable composition: A curable resin composition that forms a continuous phase and a dispersoid at normal temperatures, wherein the continuous phase is a liquid at normal temperatures and comprises (a) an epoxy compound having two or more epoxy groups in a molecule, and the dispersoid comprises (b) a compound present as solid... Agent: Barry E. Bretschneider Morrison & Foerster

20070293589 - Method, system and apparatus for the deagglomeration and/or disaggregation of clustered materials: A method of separating at least one cluster of a plurality of clustered particles of a specified material. The method includes: initiating the wetting of at least a portion of the plurality of cluster particles; disaggregating at least a portion of the wetted plurality of cluster particles into a disaggregated... Agent: The Webb Law Firm, P.C.

20070287757 - Method for stabilization of disperse systems: A method for stabilization of a disperse system which normally is not stable against sedimentation or creaming comprising the step of adding to said disperse system at least one network-inducing component, e.g. a water-soluble polymer, leads to particularly stable disperse systems.... Agent: Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz, LLP

20070287758 - Suspensions comprising calcium carbonate particles exhibiting a controlled state of aggregation: Aqueous suspension of particles of precipitated calcium carbonate meeting the following requirements: dP≦D50≦q.dP where dP is the mean diameter of the particles (nm), measured by the Lea-Nurse method, D50 is the diameter of the particles (nm) for which 50% of the distribution (measured by the sedimentation technique) is smaller and...
