Benjamin Autenrieth 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).

  • Hydrogenated syndiotactic norbornene-based ring-opening polymer
    Patent number: 10538619
    Abstract: A hydrogenated norbornene-based ring-opening polymer having a syndiotacticity ((racemo diads)/(meso diads+racemo diads)×100) of more than 90% is disclosed. A method for producing the same is also disclosed. It is thus possible to provide a hydrogenated highly syndiotactic norbornene-based ring-opening polymer that is formed of a single material, and exhibits high solvent resistance, and a method for producing the same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2020
    Assignee: ZEON CORPORATION
    Inventors: Shigetaka Hayano, Richard Royce Schrock, Benjamin Autenrieth
