  • Reinforced polymetric materials, methods of manufacture thereof and articles comprising the same
    Patent number: 8883919
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a polymeric composite comprising a first organic polymer that forms a first organic polymer phase; and a low molecular weight compound that exists in the form of a second crystalline phase; wherein the second crystalline phase is dispersed within the first organic polymer phase. Disclosed herein too is a polymeric composite comprising a first organic polymer that forms a first organic polymer phase; and a second phase that comprises a crystalline organic polymer, wherein the crystalline organic polymer has a different molecular structure from the first organic polymer; wherein the second phase is not covalently bonded to the first organic polymer phase and wherein the second phase has an average particle size of about 1 to about 20 micrometers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2014
    Assignee: The University of Massachusetts
    Inventors: Alan J. Lesser, Thomas J. McCarthy, Joonsung Yoon, Onur S. Yordem
