A gas barrier film formed of a cured product of a mixture including a polycarboxylic acid, a polyamine compound, and a polyvalent metal compound, in which in an infrared absorption spectrum of the gas barrier film, an area ratio of an amide bond represented by B/A is equal to or less than 0.380, an area ratio of a carboxylic acid represented by C/A is equal to or less than 0.150, and an area ratio of carboxylate represented by D/A is equal to or more than 0.520.

Provided herein are compositions including polymeric binder or a salt thereof, high molecular weight polymer, pharmaceutically active agent and a low molecular weight cross-linking agent, methods for using the compositions to coat a substrate, and methods for making the compositions. Alternatively, the composition may include a polymeric binder or a salt thereof, high molecular weight polymer and a pharmaceutically active agent. In particular, the substrate may form part of an apparatus on which it would be beneficial to limit biofouling and/or protein binding.

A low odor aqueous coating composition is described. The composition is a waterbased latex coating composition that includes a binder component with at least one copolymer and a neutralizing component. The composition dries in less than about 10 minutes at a temperature between about 5 to 35° C. and a relative humidity between about 30 and 95% with a pH of 9.5 or less. The coating composition can be used for applications such as road marking and coating exterior surfaces, where use of a low-odor coating is desired.

A method of applying a gas-impermeable coating includes forming a polyelectrolyte complex suspension. The polyelectrolyte complex suspension is applied to a substrate. The substrate having the polyelectrolyte complex applied thereon is treated. The treating reduces salt content of the polyelectrolyte complex. The treating results in a gas-impermeable coating being formed on the substrate

A polybenzoxazine sulfide has repeating units including at least one unit corresponding to formula (I) or (II): ##STR00001##
in which the two oxazine rings are connected together via a central aromatic group, the benzene ring of which bears one, two, three or four groups of formula —S.sub.x—R in which “x” is an integer from 1 to 8 and R represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon-based group including 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally a heteroatom chosen from O, S, N and P. Such a polybenzoxazine can be used as an adhesive layer on metal, in particular for the adhesive bonding of a metallic substrate, in particular made of carbon steel, to rubber.

This invention relates to odor control molecules comprised of polyethyleneimine compounds containing N-halamine and derivatives thereof.
