A method is described for inhibiting marine fouling on a surface. The surface is contacted with a composition comprising a waterborne polyurethane that is crosslinked with an acrylic acid functionalized polysaccharide, water, and a preservative. The composition is then dried to form a deposited film. The polysaccharide may be xanthan.

The present application relates to fibers having a diameter of 1 nm to 10,000 nm, of one or more biocompatible polymers, wherein the polymers have a backbone which includes a positively charged component from a zwitterionic moiety. Additionally, this application discloses an implantable therapeutic delivery system and its method of formation, comprising a housing defining a chamber, wherein said housing is porous and formed from the fibers. Inside of the housing includes a preparation of cells which release a therapeutic agent from the chamber. The implantable therapeutic delivery system can be used in the treatment of diabetes.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular relates to a chain extender and a preparation method and application thereof, a recyclable thermosetting polyurethane and a preparation method thereof. The present disclosure provides a chain extender whose chemical formula is shown in formula I. The chain extender provided by the present disclosure contains two types of dynamic covalent bonds, and the total number of dynamic covalent bonds is 4. The thermosetting polyurethane prepared by the provided chain extender has better hot-pressing repair efficiency. The results of the examples show that under the same hot-pressing conditions, the repair efficiency of the thermosetting polyurethane prepared by the 4,4′-dithiodianiline chain extender is 59%. The repair efficiency of thermosetting polyurethane is 97%, which is significantly improved.
