Functional Polymers Via Surface Modifying Agents

View page
US Patent:
7771825, Aug 10, 2010
Filed:
Mar 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/374421
Inventors:
Kenneth Joseph Wynne - Midlothian VA, US
Biao Duan - Richmond VA, US
Steven Grunzinger - Tokyo, JP
Umit Makal - Strongsville OH, US
Pinar Kurt - Richmond VA, US
Assignee:
Virginia Commonwealth University - Richmond VA
International Classification:
B32B 27/00
US Classification:
4284111
Abstract:
Polymers, and particularly conventional commodity bulk polymers, are modified to have a surface activity of interest using a surface modifying polymer that includes a moiety that favors migration to the surface of the bulk polymer together with a moiety provides the activity of interest (e. g. , biocidal, wettability modifying (hydrophobic or hydrophilic), resistance to radiant energy, providing a functional group for functionalizing the surface, etc. ). The surface modifying polymer is combined with the bulk polymer, and, due to the presence of the moiety that favors migration, concentrates primarily on the surface of the bulk polymer such that the moiety that provides the activity of interest is located primarily on the surface of the bulk polymeric article which is produced. Advantageously, only a minimal amount (such as, e. g. , about 2 weight %) of polymeric surface modifier is needed.

US Patent:
8361236, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Oct 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/577024
Inventors:
Biao Duan - Appleton WI, US
Munmaya K. Mishra - Manakin Sabot VA, US
Peter J. Lipowicz - Midlothian VA, US
Shengsheng Liu - Henrico VA, US
Assignee:
Philip Morris USA Inc. - Richmond VA
International Classification:
A24B 15/30
US Classification:
131276, 131274, 131275
Abstract:
A smokable composition includes (a) a smokable material; and (b) a supramolecular assembly. The supramolecular assembly comprises a flavorant and at least one selected from the group consisting of O,O′-dibenzoyl-(2R,3R)-tartaric acid, a hydrate thereof or a salt thereof, and ditoluoyl-(2R,3R)-tartaric acid, a hydrate thereof or a salt thereof. In addition, a smoking article comprises a rod of tobacco or tobacco substitute, optionally a filter attached to the rod, and the supramolecular assembly, as menthol-release agent.

Water- And Heat-Resistant Scratch-And-Sniff Coating

View page
US Patent:
8440265, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Apr 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/761026
Inventors:
Biao Duan - Appleton WI, US
Assignee:
Appleton Papers Inc. - Appleton WI
International Classification:
B05D 3/02
US Classification:
4273855, 427379, 427417, 428905
Abstract:
A scratch-and-sniff coating is provided comprised of a first coating on a substrate having a water- and heat-resistant second coating thereon, the first coating being comprised of a non-encapsulated flavor/fragrance component and a polysaccharide component, and the second coating comprised of a shellac component. The scratch-and-sniff coating is made by forming a first coating comprised of a non-encapsulated flavor/fragrance component and a polysaccharide component and drying the first coating, and forming a water- and heat-resistant shellac-containing second coating on the first coating, and drying the second coating. An encapsulated flavor/fragrance component may optionally be present in the first coating. The scratch-and-sniff coating can be applied to a package for a consumer article.

US Patent:
20060154083, Jul 13, 2006
Filed:
Dec 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/290803
Inventors:
Kenneth Wynne - Midlothian VA, US
Biao Duan - Richmond VA, US
Steven Grunzinger - Tokyo, JP

Pinar Kurt - Richmond VA, US
James Wynne - Alexandria VA, US
International Classification:
B32B 27/40
US Classification:
428423100
Abstract:
Polymers, and particularly conventional commodity bulk polymers, are modified to have a surface activity of interest using a surface modifying polymer that includes a moiety that favors migration to the surface of the bulk polymer together with a moiety provides the activity of interest (e.g., biocidal, wettability modifying (hydrophobic or hydrophilic), resistance to radiant energy, providing a functional group for functionalizing the surface, etc.). The surface modifying polymer is combined with the bulk polymer, and, due to the presence of the moiety that favors migration, concentrates primarily on the surface of the bulk polymer such that the moiety that provides the activity of interest is located primarily on the surface of the bulk polymeric article which is produced. Advantageously, only a minimal amount (such as, e.g., about 2 weight %) of polymeric surface modifier is needed. Being able to achieve desired properties (such as biocidal activity, wettability modification, etc.) without needing much polymeric surface modifier is highly advantageous.

William R. Sweeney - Richmond VA, US
Assignee:
Philip Morris USA Inc. - Richmond VA
International Classification:
A24B 15/30
US Classification:
