Dominick Cangiano has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Multilayer laminate formed from a substantially stretched non-molten wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polymer and non-polyester thermoplastic polymer
    Patent number: 6312772
    Abstract: Multilayer laminates including films, sheets, preforms, containers and other articles having at least one wholly aromatic, amorphous, stretchable liquid crystalline polymer layer with at least one non-polyester thermoplastic polymer layer are provided as well as methods for producing and stretching the multilayer articles. The laminates are suitable for thermoforming and stretch blow molding applications and may be stretched at temperatures lower than the molten state of the liquid crystal polymer and at high total draw ratios without fractures or tears. Containers suitable for food or beverage products may be produced from the laminates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 6, 2001
    Assignee: Hoechst Celanese Corporation

  • Multilayer laminate formed from a substantially stretched non-molten wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polymer and non-liquid crystalline polyester and method for forming same
    Patent number: 6268026
    Abstract: Multilayer laminates including films, sheets, preforms, containers and other articles having at least one wholly aromatic, amorphous, stretchable liquid crystalline polymer layer with at least one non-liquid crystalline thermoplastic polyester layer are provided as well as methods for producing and stretching the multilayer articles. The laminates are suitable for thermoforming and stretch blow molding applications and may be stretched to at least 100 percent elongation at temperatures below 200° C. and at high total draw ratios without fractures or tears. Containers suitable for food or beverage products may be produced from the laminates.

  • Adhesives for making multilayer films comprising liquid crystalline polymers and poly(ethylene terephthalate) or polycarbonate
    Patent number: 6042902
    Abstract: Multilayer films that include a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer film layer and a poly(ethylene terephthalate) or polycarbonate film layer are bound together using a hot melt adhesive, which may be either (1) a blend of poly(.alpha.-olefins) that includes isotactic polypropylene, a polymer of a second lower poly(.alpha.-olefin), and a small amount of a higher poly(.alpha.-olefin); or (2) a polyamide-based hot melt adhesive.

  • Adhesives for making multilayer films comprising liquid crystalline polymers and polyethylene
    Patent number: 6015524
    Abstract: Multilayer films that include a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer film layer and a polyethylene film layer are bound together using one of the following hot melt adhesives: ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer, ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyolefin blend, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, and mixtures thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Adhesives for making multilayer films comprising liquid crystalline polymer and polypropylene
    Patent number: 6013373
    Abstract: Multilayer films that include a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer film layer and a polypropyene film layer are bound together using hot melt adhesives which may be either (1) a blend of poly(.alpha.-olefins), comprised of isotactic polypropylene, a polymer of a second lower poly(.alpha.-olefin), and a small amount of a higher poly(.alpha.-olefin), or (2) a blend of poly(propylene-graft-maleic anhydride) and a dimer acid based polyamide. These hot melt adhesives also act as compatiblizers for blends of polypropylene and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers.
