A product with absorbed gel leaving the exposed surface of such product free of stickiness and/or free of the release of oils in any appreciable amounts.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene that may be useful as heat transfer compositions, aerosol propellants, foaming agents, blowing agents, solvents, cleaning agents, carrier fluids, displacement drying agents, buffing abrasion agents, polymerization media, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethane, gaseous dielectrics, extinguishing agents, and fire suppression agents in liquid or gaseous form. Additionally, the present disclosure relates to compositions comprising 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which may be useful in processes to produce 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a method of making a foam. The disclosed formulation has a first part with at least one multifunctional acrylate. The disclosed formulations have a second part with at least one non-isocyanate polyurethane oligomer derived from a reaction of at least one multifunctional cyclocarbonate and at least one first multifunctional amine, and a second multifunctional amine. The formulation may also have a blowing agent and at least one surfactant.

Disclosed herein are methods for degrading polyurethane foam from mounted polyurethane foam-containing tires, methods for separating a wheel from a mounted polyurethane foam-containing tire, methods for preparing a degradable foam-containing tire, and degradable foam-containing tires. The methods include applying a solution comprising at least one phosphorous oxoacid or an ester thereof to the polyurethane foam inside of a tire, incorporating a degradant comprising at least one phosphorous oxoacid or an ester thereof into the polyurethane foam, or both, and then heating to degrade the foam. Degradation of the foam allows for separation of the wheel from the rubber carcass of the tire.

A fire-stopping material for use in sandwich panels is provided, wherein the fire-stopping material comprises a resilient, porous material at least partially impregnated with an intumescent agent. A panel for an internal wall and an internal wall are also provided, comprising the fire-stopping material disposed between two substantially parallel boards, such as plaster boards. A method of providing a service penetration through an internal wall is also provided.

In one aspect, compositions are described herein. In some embodiments, a composition comprises a phase change material, a hydrophobic sorption material, and a viscosity modifier. In some embodiments, a composition comprises a foam and a latent heat storage material dispersed in the foam, the latent heat storage material comprising a phase change material and a hydrophobic sorption material.

The invention is directed to biomedical polyurethanes. The invention is particularly directed to biomedical polyurethanes with improved biodegradability and to an improved preparation of the biomedical polyurethanes. In particular the present invention provides a biomedical polyurethane having the formula (A-B-C-B).sub.n, wherein A denotes a polyol, B denotes a diisocyanate moiety, C denotes a diol component and n denotes the number of recurring units, and wherein the B-C-B segment is bioresorbable.

The present disclosure provides for making annealed additive manufacturing powder, where the powder can be used to make structures using additive manufacturing processes. The additive manufacturing powder can be annealed to improve the flowability of the powder. Once annealed, the powder can be used in the additive manufacturing process and structures can be formed by affixing the powder particles to one another (e.g., by reflowing and re-solidifying a material present in the powder particles). The annealed additive manufacturing powder can be formed in a layer-by-layer additive process to produce articles such as a component of an article of sporting equipment, apparel or footwear (10), including a sole structure (30) for footwear (10).

An embodiment includes a polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer that: (a) is bonded to iodine, (b) includes a vinyl group, and (c) includes urethane linkages. Other embodiments are described herein.

A soundproof member is mounted on a structure including a rotation body, covers at least a part of outer peripheral surfaces of the structure, includes an integral article of an elastic member, and has eccentrically located portions having at least a greater thickness or a greater density than the other portions. The eccentrically located portions may be thick wall portions having a greater thickness than the other portions. When the elastic member has a base material including polymer and a magnetic filler included in a state of being oriented in the base material, highly filled portions in which a content of the magnetic filler is greater than that of the other portions can be set as the eccentrically located portions.
