The invention belongs to the field of biodegradable materials and relates to a flame retardant and anti-static biodegradable material, and a preparation method thereof. The biodegradable material is prepared by the following components by weight: 5-90 parts of a biodegradable resin, 0-10 parts of a reactive agent and 5-90 parts of flame retardant and anti-static starch master batch. By compounding an organic anti-static agent and an inorganic anti-static agent, a durable anti-static property is endowed to the biodegradable material; and dependency of the anti-static property to environment humidity is reduced. Meanwhile, by adding an intumescent flame retardant with the starch as a carbon source, inflammability of the biodegradable material is effectively overcome. The anti-static agent and the intumescent flame retardant are environment-friendly; and excellent mechanical properties and processing properties of the biodegradable material are retained.

Systems and methods treat superficial venous malformations, such as spider veins. The systems and methods distribute a reactive agent, e.g., a light-reactive agent such as talaporfin sodium or verteporfin, at or near an inner wall of a vein. The systems and methods activate the reactive agent by applying energy, e.g. non-thermal light energy at a wavelength that activates the reactive agent to cause localized injury to the inner wall of the vein.

A material includes a surface and a reactive agent that is located at the surface of the material, covalently attached to a backbone of the material, and/or located within the material. The reactive agent has nitrite reductase activity, nitrate reductase activity, and/or nitrosothiol reductase activity. The reactive agent also converts at least one of nitrites, nitrates and nitrosothiols to nitric oxide when in contact with blood. A reproducible nitrosothiol sensor is also disclosed.

Devices and a method for releasing gas in a container after closing and sealing to pressurize and/or prevent or counteract buckling thereof, and or provide structural rigidity and strength thereto and or release components. The method introduces a reactive agent into the container after filling and before sealing. The reactive agent is controlled to react to provide a gas and optionally components, which a) provides a positive pressure to prevent or counteract buckling and provide structural rigidity to the container and b) and or changes the state or characteristics of the headspace and or contents of the closed container. The devices include a closure, a cap and a container. The reactive agent is brought to chemical reaction by moistening, heating, catalyst and the like. The closure includes the reactive agent and is disposed in the container. The external trigger is a device that emits energy that provides heat to the reactive agent to stimulate the chemical reaction.

The invention is used in the fields of chemistry and relates to hardenable materials which can be used for producing lacquers. The aim of the invention is to provide materials which harden at low temperatures in the same amount of time as the others. This is achieved by using hardenable materials containing uretdione groups and containing (A) a binding agent constituent, whereby this component either (A1) does not contain carboxyl groups, or (A2) the concentration of carboxyl groups is less than that of the catalyst (C) or (A3) in the case of a high level of concentration, a quantity of a reactive agent is added. The hardenable materials also contain (B) a polyaddition compound which comprises uretdione groups, and (C) at least one Lewis acid catalyst. The aim of the invention is also achieved using a method for producing materials of this type in which the starting materials are homogenized in a solution and/or in a melt, the solution and/or melt is then rapidly cooled, and the subsequent processing is carried out afterwards to effect a complete cross-linking.

This invention presents a process whereby thermoplastic polylactic acid polymers foams having the desirable properties for manufacture of thermoformed articles may be made. It has been found that introduction of a dual functional reactive agent into the melt will improve the relevant properties of the melt and thus, the resultant foam. An example of such an agent is pyromellitic di-anhydride, but it is envisioned that a wide number of dual functional reactive agents can be utilized. It has been found that such dual functional reactive agents do not shift crystalline melt point of the material by any appreciable amount. It has been found that, by carefully controlling such a reaction, melt strength can be increased sufficiently to produce stable foam at temperatures above the melt point of the polymer, to permit the production of foamed polylactic acid polymer and product formed therefrom on conventional process equipment.
