20080317700 | Synthesis and biological activity of photopolymerizable derivatives of glyphosate - The present invention holds forth improvements in the field of herbicide synthesis, their application, and methods of plant and weed control and antifouling. The present invention includes the synthesis of new acrylate and methacrylate derivatives of a glyphosate. Two isomers resulting from a hindered rotation around the amide CN bond are observed for both acrylic and methacrylic analogs and barriers for internal rotation are obtained. Biological activity tests indicate that functionalized glyphosates possess herbicidal activity similar to the parent compound. | 12-25-2008 |
20100173082 | REMOTE CURING OF POLYMER COATING BY GASEOUS, VAPOROUS OR AEROSOL INITIATING AGENT - The present invention is a method and apparatus for remote curing of resin-coated surfaces and articles by means of a vaporous curing agent. The method of the present invention includes the steps: (a) providing a surface of the substrate with a layer of a coating precursor comprising a curable material and a stabilized curing agent that is adapted to react with a gaseous, vaporous or aerosol initiating agent to activate the stabilized curing agent so as to cause the curable material to undergo a curing reaction; (b) subjecting the coating precursor to the gaseous, vaporous or aerosol initiating agent for sufficient time to initiate the curing reaction, and allowing the coating precursor to form a cured coating on the substrate. Another variation of the method of the present invention involves the reversal of the positions of the active compounds utilizing the interaction between the gaseous, vaporous or aerosol curing agent and coating precursor comprising a curable material and initiating agent. | 07-08-2010 |
