Patent number: 10766987Abstract: A method for preparing a copolymer that involves polymerizing at least one branched alkene monomer and at least one olefin monomer having a pendant benzocyclobutene (BCB) group to form a copolymer comprising a random distribution of a plurality of constitutional units corresponding to the at least one branched alkene monomer and the at least one olefin monomer. The polymerizing includes a carbocationic polymerization reaction involving sequential addition of a plurality of mixtures without terminating the carbocationic polymerization reaction, wherein the plurality of mixtures includes a mixture that includes the at least one branched alkene monomer and does not include the at least one olefin monomer having a pendant BCB group and a mixture that includes both the at least one branched alkene monomer and the at least one olefin monomer having a pendant BCB group. The copolymer composition can undergo crosslinking at elevated temperatures (preferably above 180° C.).Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Innolene LLCInventors: Yonghua Zhou, Leonard Pinchuk

Patent number: 7794498Abstract: An ocular lens has a refractive optics structure formed from a polyisobutylene-based material and a glassy segment that is non-reactive to ocular fluid and that maintains in vivo transparency for a substantial time period. The material has a central elastomeric polyolefinic block and thermoplastic end blocks (such as a triblock polymer backbone comprising polystyrene-polyisobutylene-polystyrene). The material is preferably flexible such that the refractive optics structure can be folded upon itself and introduced through a small scleral incision. The lens device includes an optic portion and preferably either an annular haptic element or one or more haptic elements adapted to rest within a capsular bag formed by a surgical procedure. A portion of the lens device may be loaded with at least one therapeutic agent that interferes with proliferation of the epithelial cells of the eye to protect against PCO.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2004Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Innolene LLCInventor: Leonard Pinchuk
