| 20100197843 | Composites Comprising a Polymer and a Selected Layered Compound and Methods of Preparing and Using Same - A method of producing a polymer and layered compound composition having a high degree of exfoliation of the layered compound is disclosed. The layered compound is treated with chemicals having an affinity with the polymer or the monomer of the polymer. The monomer and the layered compound can be combined prior to polymerization. The polymer and layered compound can be combined by solution mixing in a solvent. The layered compound can also be incorporated into the mixture by compounding a polymer product with the layered compound. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20090275716 | Branched Ionomers - A branched aromatic ionomer is prepared by co-polymerizing a first monomer having an aromatic moiety and an unsaturated alkyl moiety and a second monomer having an ionic moiety and at least one unsaturated moiety. The ionic moiety may have a cationic group having a valence of +1 or greater. Styrene is among the useful first monomers and sodium methacrylate and zinc dimethacrylate are among the useful second monomers. The branched aromatic ionomers may be used to prepare articles including foamed polystyrene and microwave save dishes and utensils. | 11-05-2009 |
