Dust suppression compositions include at least one cationic or zwitterionic (meth)acrylate-based copolymer and at least one solvent, where the solvent can be water, an aqueous mixture, or one or more non-water solvents. The dust suppression composition can also include a plasticizer, generally glycerol. The dust suppression compositions are suitable for use with sand mixtures, especially silica sand mixtures.

The present invention relates to a water-soluble polymer obtained by polymerization of at least a 2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate monomer and/or its salts, in presence of at least a tocopherol and/or its derivatives, or a tocotrienol and/or its derivatives, and its uses.

The present invention relates to the field of biomaterials, more particularly to the field of poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano- and microfibers. The present invention provides a novel method for producing ready-to-use poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano/microfibers, wherein the method comprises electrospinning of poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) homopolymers or copolymers generated by anionic polymerization of alkyl cyanoacrylate monomers or oligomers and characterized by a specific polydispersity index. Accordingly, the present invention also provides novel ready-to-use nano/microfibers obtainable by the method as well as uses thereof, including (therapeutic) biomedical applications such as wound healing, drug delivery and tissue regeneration and engineering.

A method is disclosed for mitigating a lost circulation zone. The method may include providing a lost circulation treatment composition that may include an acid responsive polymer that may include at least one monomer, at least one comonomer, and at least one crosslinker; a carbonate-based solvent; and a carrier fluid that may include water. The method may also include introducing the lost circulation treatment composition into a wellbore within a subterranean formation, wherein the subterranean formation may include the lost circulation zone; placing the lost circulation treatment composition into the lost circulation zone, and hydrolyzing the carbonate-based solvent to generate carbon dioxide.
