Described herein are silicon based conjugates capable of delivering one or more payload moieties to a target cell or tissue. Contemplated conjugates may include a silicon-heteroatom core, one or more optional catalytic moieties, a targeting moiety that permits accumulation of the conjugate within a target cell or tissue, one or more payload moieties (e.g., a therapeutic agent or imaging agent), and two or more non-interfering moieties covalently bound to the silicon-heteroatom core.

A thermoplastic composition includes 25 to 95 weight percent of a poly(etherimide); 5 to 70 weight percent of a polymer different from the poly(etherimide) that is partially miscible with the poly(etherimide); and 1 to 15 weight percent of a mineral filler having an average particle size of 0.1 to 10 micrometers; wherein each weight percent is based on the total weight of the composition. The thermoplastic composition can be prepared by melt-mixing the components of the composition. Articles including the composition are also described.

The present disclosure provides an adhesive composition including a silicone-based adhesive and cellulose nanocrystals dispersed in the silicone-based adhesive. The present disclosure also provides an article including a substrate and a layer of the adhesive composition adhered to the substrate. Further, the present disclosure provides a method of making an adhesive composition. The method comprises mixing cellulose nanocrystals in a silicone-based adhesive to disperse the cellulose nanocrystals. The present disclosure additionally provides a method of making an article including disposing a layer of the adhesive composition on a substrate. The presence of the cellulose nanocrystals advantageously increases the water uptake capacity of the silicone-based adhesive while maintaining acceptable adhesive performance.
