Vaccine formulations are described comprising physically separated, lyophilized antigens and adjuvant components, which may be in lyoparticle form, as well as methods of using and making such formulations. Reconstituted formulations are also described.

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of phosphor aerogel of uniform size having high porosity, low density; high thermal insulation and high luminescence, which is useful for various applications like lighting, display, sensing and other applications.

More specifically, the present invention provides a simple and versatile process for the formation of monolithic gel, at room temperature, which on further drying at supercritical temperature and pressure result in dry aerogel. Further, annealing under mild reduced atmosphere from 1000°-1400° C. not only retains the porous network with uniform size particles but also crystallizes to form a phosphor aerogel having brightest luminescence with bulk density as low as 100 kg m-3, and strong enough to support a weight much higher than its own weight.

Antimicrobial chemical compositions comprise an aluminum phosphate (AlP) solid dispersed within a binding polymer, wherein one or more bioactive materials are disposed within AlP forming a bioactive-AlP complex. The complex may comprise the bioactive material chemically bonded with the AlP, physically combined with the AlP, or a combination of both. The complex may be formed according to precipitation, condensation and sol-gel methods of forming. The complex is engineered to provide a controlled delivery of the bioactive material or a constituent thereof upon exposure to moisture to give a desired level of antimicrobial resistance to a film or composite formed from the composition of at least about 30 μg/m.sup.2, and may also provide a desired degree of corrosion resistance through the release of passivating phosphate anion. Such antimicrobial chemical compositions provide an improved degree of active, long-term resistance to a broad range of micro-organisms when compared to known antimicrobial chemical compositions.

The present invention provides a novel antistatic sheet having high gas barrier performance, high water vapor barrier performance, and antistatic performance, and a packaging material and an electronic device that include the antistatic sheet. The present invention relates to an antistatic sheet including a multilayer structure including a base (X), a layer (Z) containing an aluminum atom, and a layer (Y). The layer (Y) contains a polymer (A) having a vinylphosphonic acid unit, and the layer (Y) has a surface electrical resistivity of 1.0×10.sup.6 Ω/sq or more and 4.0×10.sup.13 Ω/sq or less.

A coating liquid includes aluminum phosphate, a nonionic surfactant, and water and/or water-soluble solvent that dissolves or disperses the aluminum phosphate and the nonionic surfactant. An amount of the nonionic surfactant is preferably 1 vol % or more and 10 vol % or less. The nonionic surfactant is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of ester, ether, alkylglycoside, octylphenol ethoxylate, pyrrolidone, and polyhydric alcohol. Applying such a coating liquid to a surface of a thermoelectric member, and drying and firing the coating liquid enables formation of a dense antioxidant film containing aluminum phosphate on the surface of the thermoelectric member.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an alkanediol and a dialkyl carbonate comprising reacting an alkylene carbonate and an alkanol in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst is aluminum phosphate.
