Estimating the term…
A polymeric material comprised of (i) at least one random copolymer comprised of ethylene oxide and one or more other alkylene oxide(s) and (ii) at least one non-random polymer comprised of one or more poly(alkylene oxide)s has been discovered. Preferably, it is a polymer alloy. Alkylene oxide homo-polymers or block copolymers may be the non-random polymer. In a related discovery, an adhesive material can be made by suspending (a) particles in (b) a matrix of at least one poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, or a combination thereof. The handling characteristics may be adjusted for different utilities (e.g., from runny oil to hard wax). Applications include use as adhesive, cohesive, filler, lubricant, surfactant, or any combination thereof. In particular, the hard materials may be used for cleaning or waxing.
A composition comprising (a) a polymer alloy made by blending (i) at least one random copolymer consisting of ethylene oxide and one or more other alkylene oxide(s) and (ii) at least one non-random polymer consisting of one or more poly(alkylene oxide)s and (b) at least one bioactive agent.
A composition, which is comprised of (a) at least one bioactive agent, medical/surgical device, or other therapeutic product and (b) a polymer alloy made by blending (i) at least one random copolymer consisting of ethylene oxide and one or more other alkylene oxide(s) and (ii) at least one non-random polymer consisting of one or more poly(alkylene oxide)s.
A product made by a process comprising coating a device selected from the group consisting of anchors, catheters, implants, plates, prostheses, screws, sutures, and surgical instruments with a polymer alloy comprised of (i) at least one random copolymer comprised of ethylene oxide and one or more other alkylene oxide(s) and (ii) at least one non-random polymer comprised of one or more alkylene oxide(s).
A process of making a product, which comprises combining (a) at least one bioactive agent, medical/surgical device, or other therapeutic product with (b) a polymer alloy made by blending (i) at least one random copolymer consisting of ethylene oxide and one or more other alkylene oxide(s) and (ii) at least one non-random polymer consisting of one or more poly(alkylene oxide)s.
