Patents by Inventor Michael Y. Bernard

Michael Y. Bernard 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).

  • Publication number: 20200354545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fatty amide which is a di- or triamide based on a polyether diamine or triamine which can be used as organogelator and in particular as rheology additive. The invention also relates to a formulation composition using said fatty amide as rheology additive and to its use with this aim in coating, adhesive or PVC plastisol compositions and in particular transparent or non-transparent mastic compositions. said rheology additive has the advantage of not needing a specific activation process before use, in contrast to the other known fatty amide additives based on hydrogenated castor oil derivatives.

  • Patent number: 10029978
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fatty diamide comprising or consisting of a reaction product obtained from: a) at least one cycloaliphatic diamine comprising a ring of 6 carbon atoms, b) a fatty hydroxy acid chosen from 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA), 9-hydroxystearic acid (9-HSA), 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA), 14-hydroxyeicosanoic acid (14-HEA) or binary or ternary or quaternary mixtures thereof, c) at least a second diamine chosen from linear aliphatic C2 to C12 primary diamines, d) optionally, at least one monoacid chosen from saturated and non-hydroxylated linear C6 to C16 carboxylic acids, e) optionally, at least a third primary diamine different from c) chosen from linear aliphatic C2 to C12 diamines. f) at least one aromatic amine chosen from xylylenediamines, said aromatic diamine possibly being partially or totally replaced with said diamine a).

  • Patent number: 9868848
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition based on fatty acid diamide comprising: a) from 92% to 100% by weight of one or more fatty acid diamides, treated in situ by a neutralizing agent so as to reduce the residual amine content to a residual amine number, expressed in mg KOH/g, which remains less than 0.5, b) optionally, up to 8% by weight of at least one amorphous or semicrystalline oligomer with a Tg of greater than 60° C., with the sum of the % by weight a)+b) being equal to 100% by weight of the said diamide composition and with a) and b) being miscible as a blend.

  • Patent number: 9796663
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fatty amide, which is based on: a) a diamine selected from aromatic or cycloaliphatic or linear C2 to C10 aliphatic diamines, b) a C3 to C12 lactam or amino acid, c) optionally, a second primary diamine different from said diamine a), d) a hydroxylated fatty monoacid, e) optionally, a nonhydroxylated monoacid chosen from linear C6 to C12 aliphatic acids, with a mole ratio b/(a+c) of 0.25 to 3/1. The invention also covers a process for the preparation of said amide and its use as organogelator or rheology additive in an organic solvent medium, in particular in coating, glue or adhesive, mastic, sealant or stripping agent compositions or molding or cosmetic compositions.
