20080262117 | Diffused Light Transmitter - A compound of substantially transparent resin and amorphous silica particulate is disclosed. The silica particulate are nanometric size and dispersed throughout in the resin. The compound can be used to make an article to diffuse and transmit light from a point source of light. | 10-23-2008 |
20080287584 | Nanonylon Composites Prepared by Chain Extension Reactive Extrusion - Chain-extended nanonylon is made from the reaction of oligomeric nanonylon and chain-extending agents. Such chain-extended nanonylon contains concentrations of organoclay exceeding 10 weight percent. High concentrations of organoclay permit the chain-extended nanonylon to be used as either a concentrate or a compound that provides good barrier properties for thermoplastic articles made from the chain-extended nanonylon. | 11-20-2008 |
20090008612 | EXOTHERMIC POLYPHENYLENE SULFIDE COMPOUNDS - Use of an exothermic additive in a polyphenylene sulfide compound results in an extruded or molded thermoplastic article that is electrically conductive and exothermic when connected to a source of electrical energy. Electronic devices benefit from these articles, particularly where ink must be melted for imaging of commercial graphics on a substrate. | 01-08-2009 |
20090186227 | STABILIZED POLYOLEFIN NANOCOMPOSITES - A heat stabilized polyolefin nanocomposite is disclosed, which contains metal scavengers to heat stabilize the nanocomposite. | 07-23-2009 |
20100004381 | FUNCTIONALIZED TRANSLUCENT COMPOUNDS - Functionalized translucent compounds are disclosed. The functionality appears at surface(s) of articles molded or extruded from thermoplastic compounds containing functionalized surface agents that are reactive physically or chemically with desired chemicals. | 01-07-2010 |
20100222476 | PHOSPHONIUM FLOW ENHANCERS FOR BLENDS OF POLYCARBONATE AND POLYESTER - A thermoplastic polymer blend is disclosed comprising a polyester, a polycarbonate, and a minor amount of a flow enhancer selected from non-sulfonated phosphonium salts. Optionally, impact modifiers and other conventional additives are included. | 09-02-2010 |
20100292492 | CATALYSTS FOR ESTERIFICATION OF EPOXIDIZED SOYATES AND METHODS OF USING SAME - A combination of catalysts is disclosed as useful to promote the transesterification reaction of an epoxidized soyate with a polyol to yield a high percentage of epoxidized soyate diester with epoxy functionality retained. The primary catalyst is a metallic hydroxide, and the secondary catalyst is a titanate. Bioderived plasticizers useful for thermoplastics and thermosets result. | 11-18-2010 |
20100324185 | EPOXIDIZED SOYATE DIESTERS AND METHODS OF USING SAME - An unhindered polyol is used to react with an epoxidized soyate to make epoxidized soyate diester in the presence of a catalyst. The unhindered polyol can be 1,3-propanediol or any polyol having four or more carbon atoms with no two adjacent carbon atoms having hydroxyl functionality. Preferably, a combination of catalysts is used to promote the transesterification reaction of the epoxidized soyate with the unhindered polyol to yield a high percentage of epoxidized soyate diester with epoxy functionality retained. The primary catalyst is a metallic hydroxide, and the secondary catalyst is a titanate. Bioderived epoxidized soyate diester plasticizers useful for thermoplastics and thermosets result. | 12-23-2010 |
