Hydrogel Coatings And Their Employment In A Quartz Crystal Microbalance Ion Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20040089533, May 13, 2004
Filed:
Aug 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/635289
Inventors:
David Hoagland - Granby MA, US
Douglas Howie - Parkersburg WV, US
International Classification:
B05D001/40
B05D003/02
US Classification:
204/192110, 427/331000
Abstract:
A method to attach hydrophilic and/or ionogenic coatings to metallic surfaces robustly. Important applications for the invention extend to sensor types, various biomedical devices, and additional technologies requiring metal coatings with specified properties, such as sensors that employ the Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) principle. This is a method to produce an adherent hydrogel against a metal surface by gelling a liquid mixture of components. The implementation of the invention for QCM ion sensors employs poly(allylamine) (PAH) hydrogels. The reaction of PAH with N-Acetylhomocysteine thiolactone (AHTL) (Fluda) in water under basic conditions produces thiol groups. This reaction removes ion exchange functionality and permits robust attachment of the hydrogel to the QCM's gold electrode. The PAH concentration in the aqueous starting mixture is between 12 and 25 weight percent, the AHTL concentration is between 5 and 25 mole percent of PAH repeat units, and the DadMac concentration is between 10 and 15 mole percent of PAH repeat units. Also, between 1 and 2 equivalents of base (sodium, hydroxide, NaOH) are present per equivalent of PAH repeat units.

US Patent:
20050196532, Sep 8, 2005
Filed:
Jan 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/037674
Inventors:
Alex Waldrop - South Portland ME, US
David Hoagland - Granby MA, US
Douglas Howie - Parkersburg WV, US
International Classification:
B05D003/12
US Classification:
427240000

The implementation of the invention for QCM ion sensors employs poly(allylamine) (PAH) hydrogels. The reaction of PAH with N-Acetylhomocysteine thiolactone (AHTL) (Fluka) in water under basic conditions produces thiol groups. This reaction removes ion exchange functionality and permits robust attachment of the hydrogel to the QCM's gold electrode. The PAH concentration in the aqueous starting mixture is between 12 and 25 weight percent, the AHTL concentration is between 5 and 25 mole percent of PAH repeat units, and the DadMac concentration is between 10 and 15 mole percent of PAH repeat units. Also, between 0.1 and 0.8 equivalents of base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) are present per equivalent of PAH repeat units.

Special Visual Effect Thermoplastic Compositions, Articles Made Therefrom, And Method

US Patent:
20050245645, Nov 3, 2005
Filed:
May 3, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/837865
Inventors:
Douglas Howie - Parkersburg WV, US
International Classification:
C08K003/00
C08L051/00
US Classification:
524001000, 525063000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising rubber modified thermoplastic resins which show special visual effects such as a metallic sparkle effect and/or retroreflective effect from the surface of thermoplastic articles comprising the composition. In a particular embodiment the present invention relates to a composition comprising: (i) a rubber modified thermoplastic resin comprising a discontinuous elastomeric phase dispersed in a rigid thermoplastic phase, wherein at least a portion of the rigid thermoplastic phase is grafted to the elastomeric phase, and (ii) a plurality of microsphere beads having a diameter in a range of about 1 to about 1300 microns and having an index of refraction ranging from about 1.4 to about 2.5. In other embodiments the present invention relates to articles made from the composition and to methods for providing a special visual effect and also for enhancing the image texture from the surface of the article.

Multilayer Composites With Special Visual Effects

View page
US Patent:
20050282000, Dec 22, 2005
Filed:
Jun 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/869134
Inventors:
Douglas Howie - Parkersburg WV, US
International Classification:
B32B005/16
B32B027/08
US Classification:
428323000, 428522000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to multilayer composites which show special visual effects while maintaining other beneficial properties such as melt strength and impact strength. In one embodiment the present invention relates to a multilayer composite comprising, in sequence, (i) optionally, an outer layer comprising an acrylic resin which is substantially transparent to visible light, (ii) a second layer comprising a first rubber modified thermoplastic resin which is substantially transparent to visible light, and at least one additive to provide a special visual effect; (iii) a third layer comprising a light-blocking layer; (iv) a fourth layer comprising a second rubber modified thermoplastic resin different from said first rubber modified thermoplastic resin; (v) optionally, a fifth layer comprising a tielayer; and (vi) optionally, a substrate layer. In other embodiments the present invention relates to articles made from the composite.
