Polymer or polymer inks are used for reducing or eliminating harmful chemicals by offering a neutralizing chemical in the path of movement of the harmful chemicals. A neutralizing chemical responsive to the harmful chemical produces a harmless chemical as an output that is in the path of the harmful chemical and is opposite phase with the neutralizing chemical, preferably by 180 degrees, or is at least opposite in chemical compatibility to some extent. The neutralizing chemical can be suspended or combined with an inert carrier and preferably attenuates the harmful chemical concentration. The polymer ink can be applied to a media such as paper, (embossed or extruded) or polymer the same as paper but also in foam (open cell preferred) in order to obtain a decrease in the concentration of harmful gases. These forms can be utilized in air or liquid applications.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.

An oil repellent agent including a modified natural product having at least one hydroxyl group, wherein a hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group is replaced with an R group represented by —Y—Z, wherein Y represents a direct bond, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)—NR′— or —C(═S)—NR′—, where R′ represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group); and Z represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent or a polysiloxane. The natural material is a natural product other than starch and preferably is a monosaccharide, a polysaccharide, glycerin or polyglycerin. Also disclosed is a textile product to which the oil-resistant agent is attached, an oil-resistant paper and a method of treating paper with the oil-resistant agent.

An example of a coating composition includes an inorganic pigment, a latex, a cationic fixing agent, and a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of ethopropoxylated polyarylphenol, ethoxylated tristyrylphenol, modified fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, and combinations thereof. Another example of a coating composition consists essentially of an inorganic pigment, a latex, a cationic fixing agent, a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of ethopropoxylated polyarylphenol, ethoxylated tristyrylphenol, modified fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, and combinations thereof, and water.

A method for manufacturing a compound comprising at least one imine group, the method comprising a step of reaction between a first compound comprising at least one amine group and a second compound comprising at least one carbonyl group, the reaction step being carried out in the presence of at least one supercritical fluid.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.

The present invention relates generally to an infused tissue device that is comprised of a tissue box and a plurality of tissues within the box. The tissues are infused with aromatherapeutic scents to promote feelings of wellness, to alleviate anxiety, and/or to promote wellness in the immune system. The box is preferably rectangular in shape and is further comprised of a continuous opening on the top surface, such that the tissues may be pulled out of the box from the top surface and replace themselves as they are pulled out.
