Title:
PERMEABLE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999032204
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention involves compositions having variable permeation and/or porosity and objects made therefrom. The compositions are prepared by dispersing a pore-forming agent in a polymer matrix by agitation. The composition is density developed resulting in a variable concentration in pore-forming agent throughout the mixture through application of an external force on the mixture with or without continued agitation. The pore-forming agent is then leached from the mixture to form a polymer matrix having variable permeability and/or porosity.
