Appl. No.:

10/054021

Inventors:

Robert A. Weiss - Mansfield Center CT, US
Can Erkey - South Windsor CT, US
Suresh L. Shenoy - Richmond VA, US

Assignee:

The University of Connecticut - Storrs CT

International Classification:

B05D 5/00
B05D 3/10
B05D 3/00
C23C 16/00

US Classification:

427244, 42725528, 4272556, 427301, 427322

Abstract:

A conductive polymer composite, comprising a polymer and polypyrrole and derivatives thereof. The composite is manufactured by first diffusing an oxidant such as iodine into the polymer, and then diffusing pyrrole or a pyrrole derivative vapor into the impregnated polymer, resulting in an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole at the oxidant site. The conductivity of the composite foam can be effectively controlled between 10to 10S/cm, inclusive.

International Classification:

C08F 114/24

US Classification:

5253262, 5253314, 5253307, 525383

Abstract:

Fluoropolymer materials containing tetrafluoroethylene monomers, such as PTFE, are significantly swollen by supercritical carbon dioxide at high temperatures and pressures. The swollen fluoropolymer is processable by molding, extrusion, and other techniques. In addition, the fluoropolymer may be sintered at significantly lower temperatures compared to a nonswollen fluoropolymer material. The melting temperature of fluorinated polymers containing tetrafluoroethylene and triflouroethylene monomers which are swollen with supercritical carbon dioxide is significantly reduced, thereby permitting manufacturing operations such as extruding and molding to be performed at lower temperatures and with reduced risk of decomposition.

International Classification:

A24B 15/18

US Classification:

131111, 131275

Abstract:

A consumable compressed tobacco product adapted to dissolve in an oral cavity. The compressed tobacco product is formed from a composition that includes at least one tobacco component, at least one flavorant, at least one filler-binder, at least one lubricant, at least one desiccant and at least one glidant. The compressed tobacco products are adapted to dissolve and provide tobacco satisfaction. A method of making a dissolvable compressed tobacco product is also provided.
