Publication number: 20230116834Abstract: A resinous polymer compound used as a durable surface coating that maximizes content of epoxidized soybean oil (“ESO”) in lieu of bisphenol-A epoxy and hydrogenated bisphenol-A epoxy at various proportions to produce a less brittle, more elastic (flexible) film that, at various weight-percentages of substitution, presents a rapid enough reaction rate for efficient commercial production and yields a colorless and transparent film while lessening the amount of synthetic, petroleum-derived ingredients.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Jiali Cai, Fred M.

Patent number: 9228263Abstract: A chromate-free, self-healing conversion coating solution for magnesium alloy substrates, composed of 10-20 wt. % Mg(NO3)2.6H2O, 1-5 wt. % Al(NO3)3.9H2O, and less than 1 wt. % of [V10O28]6? or VO3? dissolved in water. The corrosion resistance offered by the resulting coating is in several hundreds of hours in salt-spray testing. This prolonged corrosion protection is attributed to the creation of a unique structure and morphology of the conversion coating that serves as a barrier coating with self-healing properties. Hydroxoaluminates form the backbone of the barrier protection offered while the magnesium hydroxide domains facilitate the “slow release” of vanadium compounds as self-healing moieties to defect sites, thus providing active corrosion protection.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: NEI CorporationInventors: Gaurang Bhargava, Fred M. Allen, Ganesh Skandan, Peter Hornish, Mohit Jain
