20080242805 - Blend of ionic (co)polymer resins and matrix (co)polymers: The invention relates to polymeric resin blends containing polyelectrolyte resins blended into a polymer or copolymer matrix. Specifically, the polyelectrolyte resins are (co)polymers without hydrolyzable groups. The matrix polymer is a tough, and highly chemical-resistant (co)polymer, preferably a fluoropolymer. The polymeric resin blend is useful for forming films, and especially... Agent: Arkema Inc. Patent Department - 26th Floor

20080242806 - Water-soluble fluorescent particle comprising entangled fluorescent polymer and amphiphilic molecule: Water-soluble fluorescent particles are formed in a simple process. A mixture comprising a solvent, water, a fluorescent polymer dissolved in the solvent, and an amphiphilic molecule is provided. The fluorescent polymer comprises a hydrophobic segment. The amphiphilic molecule comprises hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments. The solvent is removed from the mixture... Agent: Klarquist Sparkman, LLP

20080242807 - Solventless silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition: A solventless silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is provided. The composition includes (A) a polyorganosiloxane with a polymerization degree of 300 to 2,000 and having at least two alkenyl group-containing organic groups, (B) a polyorganohydrosiloxane having at least three silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, (C) a polydiorganosiloxane having alkenyl groups at both terminals,...
