Biodegradable triblock copolymer compositions are provided which are useful in tissue engineering and drug delivery. The copolymers are reverse thermal gels in that when heated from a lower temperature to a higher temperature, they gel. These gels are useful in drug delivery when complexed with an active agent. For example the compositions can be used for intraocular injection of active agents, such as anti-angiogenic agents for treatment of a maculopathy or retinitis. |

Polyurethane gels, a reaction system for preparing the gels, and a process for producing polyurethane gels. The reaction system comprises a polyisocyanate composition and an isocyanate-reactive composition comprising a relatively high molecular weight mono-ol and a relatively low molecular weight polyol having a nominal isocyanate-reactive functionality of at least 3. The gels do not require the use of plasticizers. The reaction system and process offer a surprising combination of long working time and rapid cure. |

An improved polyurethane is prepared by reacting a diol component and an organic diisocyanate with critical selection of the amount of water in the reaction mixture and the diol component. The diol component is a long chain polyoxyethylene glycol optionally mixed with a low molecular weight polyoxyethylene glycol. A tough gel can be formed by mixing the polyurethane in a diol or triol and water solution. The tough gel can be used in burn and wound dressings, electroconductive pads, high slip materials and surgical implants. An optically clear gel can also be formed. Solutions and emulsions can be formed of the polymer and can be combined with fillers to form face creams and antiperspirants. A film can cover one side of the gel for burn and wound applications. The gel can be used in squeeze tubes and in spray cans in burn wound care dressings and industrial applications and in bags and containers for use in plastic surgery implants. |

The disclosed organo-polysiloxane derivative is useful as a dispersing agent for homogeneously dispersing a silicone gel in a curable resin such as an epoxy resin. The organo-polysiloxane derivative is prepared by first reacting an organo-polysiloxane compound A having an active hydrogen-containing group in each of its both terminals and having from 5 to 70 siloxane bonds with a bifunctional organic compound B having two functional groups reactable with active hydrogen. The reaction mixture obtained in the first reaction is reacted with a mixture of a bifunctional organic compound C having two active hydrogens and a bifunctional organic compound D having two functional groups reactable with the active hydrogen. |
