The present invention belongs to the technical field of marine anti-fouling materials, and discloses a self-polishing zwitterionic anti-fouling resin having a main chain degradability and the preparation therefor and the use thereof. The self-polishing zwitterionic anti-fouling resin is formed by copolymerizing the following three monomers (in the total mass of the monomers): 1% to 80% of an olefinic reactive monomer, 1% to 80% of a cycloketene acetal monomer, and 1% to 80% of a betaine type precursor. The anti-fouling resin has a main chain degradability and a side chain hydrolyzability, and the transition of a coating from being hydrophobic to being hydrophilic is achieved by the hydrolysis of a surface to produce a super-hydrophilic zwitterionic surface, in order to further enhance the anti-fouling ability of the system. The material not only overcomes the disadvantages of poor mechanical properties and poor solubility in an organic solvent of a zwitterionic material, but can also effectively control the long-term stable release of an anti-fouling agent, so as to achieve a synergistic anti-fouling effect of the anti-fouling agent and an anti-protein. The method of the present invention is simple, has a relatively low cost, and is suitable for industrial production. The material is used in the field of marine anti-fouling coatings.

The present invention relates to a polyester resin including a diester compound and anhydrosugar alcohol, and a method for preparing same. The polyester resin has excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties and also has excellent biodegradability, as specific amounts of diester components including a succinic acid diester compound and diol components including anhydrosugar alcohol are copolymerized.

The present invention is a multi-component fiber includes a core and a sheathing surrounding the core. The core includes a first aliphatic polyester or copolymer of an aliphatic polyester. The sheathing includes a second aliphatic polyester or copolymer of an aliphatic polyester or a polyamide, and a hydrophobic agent. The second aliphatic polyester or copolymer of an aliphatic polyester or a polyamide has a melt flow index of between about 0.5 and about 19.5 g/10 min using a 2.16 Kg weight at 190° C.

Provided are an inorganic substance powder-blended biodegradable resin composition exhibiting excellent processability, sufficient mechanical strength and excellent flexibility as a molded product, and having economic advantage, as well as having excellent degradability under a natural environment and a molded product formed by using the composition. Provided is a molded product molded by using an inorganic substance powder-containing biodegradable resin composition including: a biodegradable resin and an inorganic substance powder in a range by mass of 10:90 to 70:30, in which the biodegradable resin is a multicomponent hydroxyalkanoic acid copolymer comprising lactic acid and other hydroxyalkanoic acid and the inorganic substance powder is heavy calcium carbonate.

A chemical composition for a degradable polymeric material includes an isocyanate terminated prepolymer, including prepolymer units as a main chain with a plurality of isocynanates at ends of the main chain, a catalyst additive, and a cross-linking agent. The isocyanate terminated prepolymer can be an isocyanate terminated polyester, polycarbonate or polyether prepolymer. The isocyanate terminated prepolymer has a structural formula as follows:

ONC—R″—NH—[—CO—R—CO—O—R′—O—]n—NH—R″—CNO

wherein R, R′ and R″ are an aryl group or alkyl group and wherein n is a number of prepolymer units corresponding to length of the main chain. The composition degrades at a rate and at a delay for failure between 8-72 hours. The composition is a dissolvable rubber material with a modulus and elongation suitable for a component of a downhole tool.

Residence structures, systems, and related methods are generally provided. Certain embodiments comprise administering (e.g., orally) a residence structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) such that the residence structure is retained at a location internal to the subject for a particular amount of time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) before being released. The residence structure may be, in some cases, a gastric residence structure. In some embodiments, the structures and systems described herein comprise one or more materials configured for high levels of active substances (e.g., a therapeutic agent) loading, high active substance and/or structure stability in acidic environments, mechanical flexibility and strength in an internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), easy passage through the GI tract until delivery to at a desired internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), and/or rapid dissolution/degradation in a physiological environment (e.g., intestinal environment) and/or in response to a chemical stimulant (e.g., ingestion of a solution that induces rapid dissolution/degradation). In certain embodiments, the structure has a modular design, combining a material configured for controlled release of therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or enhancement agents with a structural material necessary for gastric residence but configured for controlled and/or tunable degradation/dissolution to determine the time at which retention shape integrity is lost and the structure passes out of the gastric cavity. For example, in certain embodiments, the residence structure comprises a first elastic component, a second component configured to release an active substance (e.g., a therapeutic agent), and, optionally, a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker may be configured to degrade such that the residence structure breaks apart and is released from the location internally of the subject after a predetermined amount of time.
