Nitrocellulose is plasticized with epoxidized fatty acid esters, such as epoxidized alkyl soyates. Nail varnish can be made from the plasticized nitrocellulose.

The present invention relates to an improved method for producing a colloidal nitrocellulose dispersion made compatible with a system of acrylic monomers polymerized with surfactants in a water-based system under pressure. The self-emulsifiable system of the present invention is characterized by the latex formed by the nitrocellulose suspension in an aqueous medium, with nanometric particles and homogeneity and, consequently, a greater covering and smoothing power, high adherence, high gloss, greater chemical and mechanical resistance, rapid drying, less water retention when used in paints, varnish and sealant compositions for coatings in the fields of graphic printing, such as flexography and rotogravure, lamination, nail polish, metal-mechanics, decoration, glass, leather, plastics, wood surfaces, compounds and mortars, decorative wall paints, textiles, paper coatings and car paint repairs, inter alia. Besides providing high-performance properties, the product according to this invention is environmentally friendly.

The invention presented herein relates to bacterial cellulose (BC) suspensions, and methods of production and uses of the same. In particular, the invention relates to BC suspensions suitable for coating applications.

A colored resin particle dispersion and an ink are provided which exhibit excellent color development and abrasion resistance. Moreover, a colored resin particle dispersion and an inkjet ink are provided which exhibit excellent color development and abrasion resistance, together with excellent water resistance and marker resistance. Specifically provided are a colored resin particle dispersion containing colored resin particles, a basic dispersant, and a non-aqueous solvent, wherein the colored resin particles contain a colorant, and a phosphorylated solid resin and/or a nitrated solid resin. The phosphorylated solid resin may include a phosphorylated polyvinyl alcohol and/or a phosphorylated polyvinyl acetal, and the nitrated solid resin may include a nitrocellulose.

Solid-fuel rocket propellants comprising an oxidizer, an oxophilic metal-halophilic metal formulation, and a binder are described herein. Further described are processes for preparing such propellants and methods of reducing hydrogen chloride production via the combustion of such propellants. Non-limiting examples of such formulations include aluminum-lithium alloys.

The present invention provides thin-film forming compositions comprising an antiseptic (e.g., povidone iodine, chlorhexidine, or octenidine), a non-aqueous solvent, and a film-forming material dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent, wherein the composition yields a continuous and flexible protective film upon substantial removal of the solvent. The compositions are useful for the treatment and prevention of infections in wounds, ulcers (e.g., decubitus ulcers and stasis ulcers), cuts, or burns, or against infections from bacterial, mycobacterial, viral, fungal, or amoeba causes, as well as for prevention of such infections in appropriate clinical settings (e.g., as liquid bandages or dressings). Additionally, the compositions of this invention are also useful for the treatment of infections and as a disinfectant skin preparation for pre- and/or post-surgical operations.
