Title: Pseudo-thermoplastic, self-crosslinking composites
Inventor: SCHMIDT FRIEDRICH GEORG
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 2012-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing storage-stable prepregs and shaped bodies produced therefrom (composite components). In the present process, reversibly crosslinked composites or storage-stable prepregs are produced by means of a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (HDA) of, for example, PMMA polymers. At a slightly elevated temperature, these prepregs can be reversibly decrosslinked again by means of a retro-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction so as to become malleable. The backreaction to form crosslinked or high molecular weight products again then occurs at room temperature.

Patent CA-2861887-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRISTOW JOSEPH F
IPC: A61L31/04
Filed: 2012-11-20
Abstract: A porous, resorbable and flexible dental surgical membrane (16) is made from chitosan having a molecular weight of at least 400,000 daltons and has a thickness of from about 100 microns to about 0.5 mm. The membrane is easily insertable over a bone graft material site to confine the bone graft material (14) while allowing access to it of blood and oxygen. The high molecular weight of the chitosan may be chosen so that the membrane will not dissolve or resorb in a human mouth for a protracted period, e.g., from about 12 to about 16 weeks. The membrane is made by dissolving medical grade chitosan in aqueous acetic acid, dispersing fine silica particles into the solution to form a slurry, depositing a film of the slurry on a support surface, evaporating liquid from the slurry sufficiently to form a coherent chitosan membrane having silica particles dispersed therein, and then dissolving the silica particles with a sodium hydroxide solution followed by a water wash to form the porous chitosan membrane.
