  • Encapsulated ceramic composite armor
    Patent number: 7866248
    Abstract: A composite armor including a disrupting layer and a backing layer provides protection against blast and ballistic threats. The disrupting layer includes ceramic particles or tiles that disrupt the incoming projectile, while the backing layer prevents penetration past the armor by the disrupted projectile. The disrupting layer may include a layer of polygonal ceramic tiles with a deflecting front surface, encased by a retaining polymer, and may also include fire-retarding particles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2011
    Assignee: Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC
    Inventors: Dan T. Moore, III, Ajit Sane, Jeff Lennartz, Bruce O. Budinger, James L. Eucker, Charles M. Milliren

  • Process for improvement of impact strength in rubber-modified nitrile thermoplastics
    Patent number: 3959411
    Abstract: Improved impact strength of copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrene prepared in the presence of a diene rubber is achieved by presoaking the diene rubber with part of the acrylonitrile and styrene monomers prior to conducting the graft polymerization reaction.
