Compostable Or Biobased Foams

View page
US Patent:
20120009420, Jan 12, 2012
Filed:
Jul 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/178293
Inventors:
Adam R. Pawloski - Lake Elmo MN, US
Jeffrey J. Cernohous - Hudson WI, US
Kent Kaske - Woodbury MN, US
Assignee:
Lifoam Industries - Hunt Valley MD
International Classification:
B32B 5/16
H01B 1/20
C08J 9/16
C08L 67/04
US Classification:
428402, 521 60, 252500
Abstract:
The present invention describes compostable or biobased foams that are useful for fabricating foamed articles. The foams are produced using a compound comprising a compostable or biobased polyester and a blowing agent. Additives including plasticizers and chain extenders are optionally included in the compostable or biobased composition. These foams can be produced using conventional melt processing techniques, such as single and twin-screw extrusion processes. In one embodiment, foamed strand profiles are cooled and cut using conventional strand pelletizing equipment. In another embodiment, foamed beads are produced by cutting the foamed strand at the face of the extrusion die and the foamed bead or strand is subsequently cooled. The resulting compostable or biobased foamed bead has a specific gravity less than 0.15 g/cmand the foam is compostable, as determined by ASTM D6400.

Expandable Beads Of A Compostable Or Biobased Thermoplastic Polymer

View page
US Patent:
20120010307, Jan 12, 2012
Filed:
Jul 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/178272
Inventors:
Adam R. Pawloski - Lake Elmo MN, US
Jeffrey J. Cernohous - Hudson WI, US
Kent Kaske - Woodbury MN, US
Assignee:
Lifoam Industries - Hunt Valley MD
International Classification:
C08J 9/232
C08J 9/228
C08J 9/18
C08J 9/14
C08L 67/04
US Classification:
521 58, 521 98, 521 94, 521 88, 521 97, 521 60
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition and process for producing expandable beads from a compostable or biobased thermoplastic polymer. A key aspect of this invention is the ability to incorporate sufficient amounts of hydrocarbon blowing agent into the matrix of the compostable or biobased polymer. The following process may be used. First, the raw materials of compostable or biobased polymers, hydrophobic additive, and other additives are mixed by melt processing techniques. Next, a hydrocarbon blowing agent is added to the admixture, either by addition into the melt or by impregnation into the solid, to produce an expandable bead. Small, lightweight, foamed beads are produced by heating the expandable bead. Then, the expanded beads are subsequently used in conventional operations for molding into foamed articles.

Process For Enabling Secondary Expansion Of Expandable Beads

View page
US Patent:
20120065286, Mar 15, 2012
Filed:
Sep 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/230158
Inventors:
Adam R. Pawloski - Lake Elmo MN, US
Jeffrey J. Cernohous - Hudson WI, US
Kent Kaske - Woodbury MN, US
Garrett Van Gorden - River Falls WI, US
Assignee:
Lifoam Industries - Hunt Valley MD
International Classification:
C08J 9/00
B29C 44/08
US Classification:
521123, 264 55
Abstract:
The present invention enables the secondary expansion of lightweight foamed beads. The foamed beads are produced using a compound comprising a compostable or biobased polyester and a physical blowing agent as well as a chemical blowing agent. Secondary expansion can be used either to lower the density of the foamed bead further or to enable expansion of the beads during molding to promote fusion. The foam beads can be produced using conventional melt processing techniques, such as single and twin-screw extrusion processes.

US Patent:
20150148459, May 28, 2015
Filed:
Jun 5, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/405059
Inventors:
- Eden Prairie MN, US
Gregory S. Bennett - Hudson WI, US
Jeffrey Jacob Cernohous - Hudson WI, US
Kent Kaske - Woodbury MN, US
Adam E. Szymanski - St. Paul MN, US
International Classification:
C23C 18/12
C08K 7/14
C08K 5/3492
C08K 3/04
C09D 151/00
US Classification:
524 35, 524424, 524587, 524586, 524584, 524579, 524557, 524575, 524578, 524504, 524100, 4274301
Abstract:
The deposition of graphene is accomplished by various techniques that result in a change of the graphene's solubility in the liquid medium. The solubility change enables the deposition of the graphene onto the substrate. Once the graphene is deposited onto the substrate, the at least partially coated substrate may be separated from the liquid medium. The substrates may then serve as a carrier to deliver the graphene to a desired application.
