| 20120041124 | COMPOSITE REPAIR RESINS CONTAINING MINIMAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND - The present invention relates to a composition and method for fabricating composite resins that produce either reduced or zero volatile organic compound (VOC) and zero hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. The non-volatile reactive diluents of the composite resin, fatty acid monomers, enhance the stability, shelf-life, flexibility and strength of the composite resin. The resins incorporating fatty acid monomers may be used to repair military equipment or for any commercial repair purposes. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20090018287 | Fatty Acid Monomers To Reduce Emissions and Toughen Polymers - Novel fatty acid monomers and methods for their synthesis are provided for use in polymerization reactions. Fatty acid monomers are employed as reactive diluents in the polymerization of vinyl esters and polyesters for one or more purposes selected from improving the fracture resistance, lowering the processing viscosity and reducing the volatile organic compounds present in the polymerization mixture. | 01-15-2009 |
