Chemically Modified Vegetable Oil-Based Industrial Fluid

View page
US Patent:
6583302, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:
Jan 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/057488
Inventors:
Sevim Z. Erhan - Peoria IL
Atanu Adhvaryu - Peoria IL
Zengshe Liu - Peoria IL
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
C07C 5400
US Classification:
554213, 554148, 554149, 554164, 554227, 508452
Abstract:
Triglyceride oils having unsaturated fatty acid substituents are modified to convert sites of unsaturation to C- to C- diesters. The resulting derivatives are characterized by thermal and oxidative stability, have low temperature performance properties and are environmentally-friendly. They have utility as hydraulic fluids, lubricants, metal working fluids and other industrial fluids. The triglyceride oils are most easily prepared via epoxidized vegetable oils which are converted to the diesters in either a one- or two-step reaction.

Soy-Based Thermosensitive Hydrogels For Controlled Release Systems

US Patent:
7691946, Apr 6, 2010
Filed:
Sep 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/240426
Inventors:
Zengshe Liu - Peoria IL, US
Sevim Z. Erhan - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
C08L 91/00
C08G 59/00
US Classification:
5251115, 528365
Abstract:
Biopolymeric hydrogel precursors are prepared by means of a ring-opening polymerization of epoxidized vegetable oils, followed by chemical hydrolysis. The recovered hydrogels having properties similar to Pluronic type surfactants would have a plurality of end-use applications, including use as food additives and pharmaceutical ingredients. This invention provides the potential for an enhanced market for vegetable oils, and particularly for soybean oil.

US Classification:
554213, 554148, 554149, 554164, 554227, 508452
Abstract:
Triglyceride oils having unsaturated fatty acid substituents are modified to convert sites of unsaturation to C-2 to C-10 diesters. The resulting derivatives are characterized by thermal and oxidative stability, have low temperature performance properties and are environmentally-friendly. They have utility as hydraulic fluids, lubricants, metal working fluids and other industrial fluids. The triglyceride oils are most easily prepared via epoxidized vegetable oils which are converted to the diesters in either a one- or two-step reaction.

11/875727
Inventors:
Jon O. Nagy - Bozeman MT, US
Benfang Lei - Bozeman MT, US
Zengshe Kevin Liu - Morton IL, US
Robert F. Bargatze - Bozeman MT, US
John W. Jutila - Bozeman MT, US
Jim E. Cutler - New Orleans LA, US
Pati M. Glee - Bozeman MT, US
International Classification:
A61K 9/127
A61K 39/00
A61P 37/00
US Classification:
424450, 4241841, 4242441, 4242461, 4242771, 4242041, 4242651, 4242741
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nanoparticle vaccine adjuvants comprised of a carrier, particularly polymerized lipids, having multiple copies of an antigen or combinations of different antigens displayed on the carrier. Such antigen-displaying nanoparticles may also display a targeting molecule on its surface in order to direct it to a specific site or cell type to optimize a desired immune response. The present invention also relates to encapsulating an antigen or combinations of different antigens within such nanoparticles, with or without a targeting molecule displayed on its surface. The antigens used in this invention are effective to produce an immune response against a variety of pathological conditions.

Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/721300
Inventors:
Sevim Z. Erhan - Peoria IL
Zengshe Liu - Peoria IL
Paul D. Calvert - Tucson AZ
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
C08K 334
US Classification:
524494, 524109, 524252, 524492
Abstract:

These composites are characterized by unique physical properties including enhanced biodegradability.

Lignocellulosic Composites Prepared With Aqueous Alkaline And Urea Solutions In Cold Temperatures Systems

View page
US Patent:
20210207320, Jul 8, 2021
Filed:
Mar 25, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/212345
Inventors:
Brent H. TISSERAT - Washington IL, US
Luke HAVERHALS - Peoria IL, US
Zengshe LIU - Morton IL, US
International Classification:
D21C 3/02
D21C 5/02
D21J 5/00
D21H 21/34
D21H 11/14
D21H 21/18

D21H 11/12
D21C 3/20
D21C 5/00
D21J 3/00
D21C 3/22
Abstract:
Unique, inexpensive, and strong biocomposites are obtained from blending cellulose matrix materials pith lignocellulosic reinforcement materials with the aid of alkaline aqueous solvent and cold temperatures. These lignocellulosic composites (LCs) are produced without use of any thermoplastic resins, adhesives, catalysts, plasticizers or d chemical or physical procedures. The LCs include a matrix and a reinforcement material. The matrix is a cellulose material (e.g., cotton, hemp, flax, or wood) that is liquefied using an aqueous alkaline solvent solution under cold temperatures to more readily adhere and or incorporate/encapsulate the lignocellulosic reinforcements (wood chips, fibers, and other lignocellulosic sources).
