Functionalized cubic liquid crystalline phase materials and methods for their preparation and use
Patent 6656385 Issued on December 2, 2003. Estimated Expiration Date: January 25, 2022. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
Functionalized cubic gel precursors, functionalized cubic liquid crystalline gels, dispersions of functionalized cubic gel particles, functionalized cubic gel particles, and methods of preparation and use thereof. The precursors, gels, dispersions, and particles are prepared with hydrotropes that do not detrimentally affect the cubic liquid crystalline structure of the precursors, gels, dispersions, and particles. The precursors, gels, dispersions, and particles can be used to deliver active ingredients to substrates.
