Publication number: 20100137141Abstract: Method for forming a control device for control of one or more of root intrusion or plant growth commences by heating a root-controlling agent to its melting point temperature and heating a nanoclay intercalated with an ammonium ion to a temperature of at least the root-controlling agent melting point temperature. The heated root-controlling agent is loaded with the heated intercalated ammonium ion intercalated nanoclay to form a composite material that is partially exfoliated. The particle size of said composite material is adjusted for blending and further exfoliation. The particle size of the composite material is adjusted with a polymer matrix. The nanoclay in the polymer matrix is exfoliated to an extent that a slow controlled release of the root-controlling agent from the polymer matrix is obtained. Finally, the polymer matrix is formed into a fiber to form the control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2009Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: Edward S. Lipinsky, Dominic A.

Patent number: 7056522Abstract: A method for applying a barrier to structures to prevent the infiltration of pest species (unwanted organisms) uses a (e.g., coating) composition formed from a polyurethane (e.g., film-forming) polymer system and a pellet comprising a pesticide incorporated into a sorbent and dispersed in the polyurethane polymer system. The composition protects the structure by application either to the structure or to a pathway that leads to the structure. Advantageous polymer systems include polyurethanes rich in urea linkages and predominating in aliphatic and alicyclic backbones.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Termiguard Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Van Voris, Dominic A.

Publication number: 20040266625Abstract: This invention provides repellent devices and methods for control of root intrusion and plant growth. One aspect of this invention is a geotextile in which 2,6-dinitroaniline is stored inside the individual filaments. The 2,6-dinitroaniline is stored in nanoclay or smectite clay reservoirs that control the rate of release of the 2,6-dinitroaniline. These reservoir particles are placed in the fibers during the melt spinning production of the fibers or by film-to-fiber processes. The particles are very thin and are oriented within the fibers during the spinning process. These clay reservoirs are superior to conventional carbon-based reservoirs, because the dispersed clay materials have a uniform, e.g., 1-nanometer, thickness that is needed to fit into individual filaments. Nonwoven, woven, or knitting processes are used to make the geotextile fabrics. The fibers of this invention prevent root intrusion into these fabrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2004Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Edward S. Lipinsky, Dominic A.

Patent number: 6322803Abstract: A method for creating an wood destroying organism resistant coating is disclosed. The method involves spraying a structure with a mixture of a quick setting liquid monomer and a pesticide. The monomer, when cured, forms a bonded polyurethane coating upon the surface a structure which slowly releases pesticide over long periods of time. The method may be practiced as a two part system utilizing monomers and catalytic curing agents, and a one part system utilizing masked isocyanates.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1999Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Bioguard Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Van Voris, Dominic A.

Patent number: 6025458Abstract: Disclosed are degradable materials including molded products, laminates, foams, nonwoven materials, adhesives, coatings and films, and particularly packaging films. The materials are made using polydioxaneone polymers comprising at least two different dioxaneone-based repeating units. Preferred polymers are polydioxanediones. First repeating units have less carbon atoms in constituent groups extending from the polymer backbone than second repeating units. Physical characteristics and degradation of the materials can be varied by varying the choice and/or relative proportions of first and second repeating units in the polydioxaneone polymers. Methods for preparing polydioxaneone polymers that can be used in the manufacture of the materials are also discussed, as are suitable monomers and methods for preparing such monomers.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1998Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Chronopol, Inc.Inventors: Edward S.
