Medical devices and applications of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers

Devices formed of or including biocompatible polyhydroxyalkanoates are provided with controlled degradation rates, preferably less than one year under physiological conditions. Preferred devices include sutures, suture fasteners, meniscus repair devices, rivets, tacks, staples, screws (including interference screws), bone plates and bone plating systems, surgical mesh, repair patches, slings, cardiovascular patches, orthopedic pins (including bone filling augmentation material), adhesion barriers, stents, guided tissue repair / regeneration devices, articular cartilage repair devices, nerve guides, tendon repair devices, atrial septal defect repair devices, pericardial patches, bulking and filling agents, vein valves, bone marrow scaffolds, meniscus regeneration devices, ligament and tendon grafts, ocular cell implants, spinal fusion cages, skin substitutes, dural substitutes, bone graft substitutes, bone dowels, wound dressings, and hemostats. The polyhydroxyalkanoates can contain additives, be formed of mixtures of monomers or include pendant groups or modifications in their backbones, or can be chemically modified, all to alter the degradation rates. The polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions also provide favorable mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and degradation times within desirable time frames under physiological conditions.

Biodegradable cigarette filter

A biodegradable fiber (including fiber tow) may be coated with cellulose acetate for use in a filter material configured for application in a filter of a smoking article. A filter made in accordance with this design may also include non-biodegradable fiber, but will generally be subject to improved degradation time in a variety of disposal environments.

Self-Healing Composite of Thermoset Polymer and Programmed Super Contraction Fibers

A composition comprising thermoset polymer, shape memory polymer to facilitate macro scale damage closure, and a means for molecular scale healing is disclosed; the composition has the ability to resolve structural defects by a bio-mimetic close-then heal process. In use, the shape memory polymer serves to bring surfaces of a structural defect into approximation, whereafter use of the means for molecular scale healing allowed for movement of the healing means into the defect and thus obtain molecular scale healing. The means for molecular scale healing can be a thermoplastic such as fibers, particles or spheres which are used by heating to a level at or above the thermoplastic's melting point, then cooling of the composition below the melting temperature of the thermoplastic. Compositions of the invention have the ability to not only close macroscopic defects, but also to do so repeatedly even if another wound / damage occurs in a previously healed / repaired area.

Dephosphorization and denitrification, mud decrement and phosphorus recovery integrated sewage treatment device and method thereof

InactiveCN101544453AImprove system synchronous denitrification and dephosphorization capacityReduce pool capacityTreatment with aerobic and anaerobic processesMultistage water/sewage treatmentContinuous flowChemistry
The invention provides a dephosphorization and denitrification, mud decrement and phosphorus recovery integrated sewage treatment device and a method thereof. The method adopts processes of hydrolysis acidification, multilevel series contact aeration and dephosphorization and denitrification A<2>/O of continuous flow, and comprises the following steps that: a hydrolysis acidification unit is used to treat raw sewage and a little anaerobic phosphorus releasing sludge to realize conversion of VFA; clear solution rich in the VFA after hydrolyzed supplies rich carbon sources for a subsequent dephosphorization and denitrification A<2>/O unit to reinforce synchronous dephosphorization and denitrification; and low concentration phosphorus in the sewage is enriched in the anaerobic phosphorus releasing sewage by the excessive phosphorus absorption capability of a phosphate accumulating organism, and the minor part of phosphorus enriched sewage is drained to carry out chemical phosphorus solidification. The dephosphorization mode can significantly reduce sewage quantity of chemical dephosphorization, improve the utility ratio of a dephosphorizing medicament, reduce dosage of the medicament, has high phosphorous amount in the obtained chemical sludge, and realizes recycle of the middle and low concentration phosphorus in urban sewage by the mode of non residue sludge under a condition of low cost. Sludge decrement can be realized through biofacies separation of a multilevel series contact aeration tank and the function of microorganism predation grade by grade.

Ag doped BiOBr catalytic material and preparation method and application thereof

The invention relates to an Ag / BiOBr composite photocatalytic material and a preparation method and application thereof, belongs to the field of photocatalytic materials. The invention uses a low-temperature soft chemical method, compounds a novel semiconductor BiOBr and silver nanoparticles to prepare the Ag / BiOBr composite photocatalyst material. The unique interaction between Ag and BiOBr enhances the absorption properties of the catalyst to visible light and speeds up the transport process of photon-generated carriers, reduces the recombination probability of electron-hole pair, and improves the quantum efficiency of visible photocatalysis. Under visible light, the composite catalytic material has extremely high degradation performance of organic dyes. The invention has simple preparation process, mild conditions, low cost and good prospects for industrial application.

Low speed, load independent, slew rate controlled output buffer with no DC power consumption

An output buffer utilizes capacitive feedback to control the output slew rate largely independent of load capacitance. The invention slows the rising and falling slew rates and via a capacitance feedback reduces the effect of load capacitance on slew rate, and uses no DC current. Transistor switches are employed to isolate and reduce noise and interaction among the circuit components and functions.
