Antonios Gkogkidis 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).

  • Patent number: 5250606
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to thermoplastic polymer blends which comprise a monovinylidene aromatic copolymer, an acetal polymer and a thermoplastic polycarbonate resin or a polyester resin derived from the reaction of a dicarboxylic acid and a glycol, and which may also optionally contain an elastomeric material such as a thermoplastic polyurethane or an elastomeric copolyester. The resulting polymer blends have good processability and a beneficial combination of physical and chemical properties including thermal/dimensional stability, impact resistance, chemical resistance and environmental stress crack resistance. Said polymer blends are suitable for use in the preparation of a variety of molded utilitarian articles having good appearance and paintability.
    Type: Grant
