09/446159
Inventors:
Reba S. Herndon - Horseheads NY
Ronald E. Johnson - Tioga PA
Joshua U. Otaigbe - Ames IA
Joy C. Wu - Horseheads NY
Assignee:
Corning Incorporated - Corning NY
International Classification:
B32B 706
US Classification:
156249, 156247, 156248, 156256, 156263, 428 401, 359282
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of adhering an optically transmissive substrate to a compatible substrate such as plastic or glass and the resulting optical elements. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer, which is optically transmissive and is pre-applied to the optically transmissive substrate, eliminates many handling problems associated with liquid adhesive. Particularly preferred optical elements in accordance with the present invention are optical memory products and optical isolators with dichroic polarizers.

Chung-Yi Kung - Tuscon AZ
Assignee:
UT-Battelle - Oak Ridge TN
Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc. - Ames IA
International Classification:
B29B 910
US Classification:
264 9
Abstract:
This invention describes a method of producing polymer powders from solution in a compatible solvent using a new device referred to as a microdroplets on demand generator (MODG). The embodiment of this invention is the MODG apparatus and its relevance as a method to extensive application in materials science and technology. Proof of concept is demonstrated using poly(ethylene) glycol polymer microparticles generated with the MODG and captured in a microparticle levitation device.

Atomizing Apparatus For Making Polymer And Metal Powders And Whiskers

View page
US Patent:
6533563, Mar 18, 2003
Filed:
Aug 17, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/640431
Inventors:
Joshua U. Otaigbe - Ames IA
Jon M. McAvoy - Moline IL
Iver E. Anderson - Ames IA
Jason Ting - Ames IA
Jia Mi - Pittsburgh PA
Robert Terpstra - Ames IA
Assignee:
Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc. - Ames IA
International Classification:
B29B 910
US Classification:
425 6, 425 7, 425 10, 264 12, 264 14, 159 44
Abstract:
Method for making polymer particulates, such as spherical powder and whiskers, by melting a polymer material under conditions to avoid thermal degradation of the polymer material, atomizing the melt using gas jet means in a manner to form atomized droplets, and cooling the droplets to form polymer particulates, which are collected for further processing. Atomization parameters can be controlled to produce polymer particulates with controlled particle shape, particle size, and particle size distribution. For example, atomization parameters can be controlled to produce spherical polymer powders, polymer whiskers, and combinations of spherical powders and whiskers. Atomizing apparatus also is provided for atoomizing polymer and metallic materials.

Polyphosphate Glasses As A Plasticizer For Nylon

View page
US Patent:
20070290405, Dec 20, 2007
Filed:
Mar 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/717934
Inventors:
Joshua Otaigbe - Hattiesburg MS, US
Kevin Urman - Lugoff SC, US
International Classification:
C08K 9/00
B32B 7/00
US Classification:
264328100, 523205000, 524612000
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the miscibility of inorganic phosphate glass and organic polymer prepared by blending both components in the liquid phase using conventional polymer processing methods. By utilizing low Tg phosphate glasses to plasticize nylon, e.g. polyamide 6, a new class of plasticizer is introduced that allows for the creation of unique nylon polymer composites. These materials display tunable morphologies, interesting properties, and significant reduction in flammability, while easing the processing of nylon through a substantial reduction of viscosity. The addition of a low Tg phosphate glass in small amounts (less than 10% by volume) to a nylon matrix results in a drastic reduction in viscosity and a decrease in the nylon glass transition temperature and flammability, with the capability of adding a low Tg phosphate glass up to 60% by volume. The observed mechanical properties of the nylon/phosphate glass hybrid are consistent with that of plasticized polymers.
