839 results about "Pendant group" patented technology

A pendant group (sometimes spelled pendent) or side group is a group of molecules attached to a backbone chain of a long molecule. Usually, this molecule would be a polymer. Pendant groups are different from pendant chains, as they are neither oligomeric nor polymeric.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions having controlled degradation rates

Biocompatible polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions with controlled degradation rates have been developed. In one embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates contain additives to alter the degradation rates. In another embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates are formed of mixtures of monomers or include pendant groups or modifications in their backbones to alter their degradation rates. In still another embodiment, the polyhydroxyalkanoates are chemically modified. Methods for manufacturing the devices which increase porosity or exposed surface area can be used to alter degradability. For example, as demonstrated by the examples, porous polyhydroxyalkanoates can be made using methods that creates pores, voids, or interstitial spacing, such as an emulsion or spray drying technique, or which incorporate leachable or lyophilizable particles within the polymer. Examples describe poly(4HB) compositions including foams, coatings, meshes, and microparticles. As demonstrated by the examples, these polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions have extremely favorable mechanical properties, as well as are biocompatible and degrade within desirable time frames under physioogical conditions. These polyhydroxyalkanoate materials provide a wider range of polyhydroxyalkanoate degradation rates than are currently available. Methods for processing these materials, particularly for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic applications, or into devices which can be implanted or injected, are also described.

Methods of reducing water permeability for acidizing a subterranean formation

InactiveUS20050000694A1Reducing and precluding production of waterEliminate needFluid removalFlushingHydrophilic polymersHydrocotyle bowlesioides
The present invention provides a method of stimulating a subterranean formation penetrated by a well. The formation has a water-bearing section and a hydrocarbon-bearing section. The method includes the steps of: (a) introducing into the formation an aqueous treatment fluid containing a hydrophobically-modified relative permeability modifier, and (b) introducing an acidizing treatment fluid into the formation. The hydrophobically-modified RPM can be formed and introduced into the formation in several ways. For example, the hydrophobically-modified RPM can be the reaction product of a hydrophilic polymer and a hydrophobic compound that are capable of reacting with each other. The hydrophilic polymer is a polymer containing reactive amino groups in the polymer backbone or as pendant groups, which are capable of reacting with a hydrophobic alkyl halide compound. The hydrophobically-modified RPM can include, for example, a polymer of DMAEMA quaternized with an alkyl halide, wherein the alkyl halide has an alkyl chain length of 6 to 22 carbons.

Purification of proteins

The present invention relates to a bimodal polymer such as a soluble polymer capable of irreversibly binding to insoluble particulates and a subset of soluble impurities and also capable of reversibly binding to one or more desired biomolecules in an unclarified biological material containing stream and the methods of using such a material to purify one or more desired biomolecules from such a stream without the need for prior clarification. Such a polymer comprises domains of charged pendant groups such as primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary amines, (first mode) and is rendered insoluble and precipitates out of solution simply upon complexing with oppositely charged solid particulates and a fraction of the soluble impurities in an amount sufficient to form an aggregate that can no longer be held in solution. The polymer further comprises other domains of pendant groups that are charged or uncharged, hydrophilic or hydrophobic or have a ligand that is selective for the biomolecule of interest depending on the process conditions such as pH, ionic strength, salts, and the like (second mode). When present in one mode, such as the uncharged form, said pendant groups are capable of binding to one or more desired biomolecules within the stream (protein, polypeptide, etc) in an unclarified cell broth. The precipitate can then be removed from the stream, such as by being filtered out from the remainder of the stream and the desired biomolecule is recovered such as by selective elution.
