Bernhard M. Wessling 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: 4935164
    Abstract: Substantially monomer-free, electrically conductive organic polymers and/or organic conductors are dissolved or dispersed in a melt or solution of a thermoplastic matrix polymer or polymer mixture partially compatible therewith and having a solubility parameter >8.6 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2, in order to obtain mouldable polymer blends. The latter are suitable for producing moulded articles, particularly for electrical conductors, semiconductors or photoconductors. A suitable apparatus for producing the polymer blends comprises an extruder or kneader, through whose barrel one or more sonotrodes project into the transformation zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 1985
    Date of Patent: June 19, 1990
    Assignee: Zipperling Kessler & Co. (GmbH & Co.)

  • Patent number: 4929388
    Abstract: Antistatic or electrically semiconducting thermoplastic polymer blends contain two partially compatible thermoplastic polymers A and B, whereof polymer A has a lower viscosity than polymer B and whereby the solubility parameters thereof also differ. Polymer A, which forms the continuous phase, contains an addition of electrically conductive substances and forms current-carrying conductor tracks. The polymer blends are suitable for producing antistatic or electrically semiconductor coatings, foils, moulded articles or parts.

    Inventor: Bernhard M. Wessling
  • Patent number: 4925610
    Abstract: Substantially solvent-free and monomer-free, conductive organic polymers and/or organic conductors are molded, under moisture and oxygen exclusion, at elevated temperature and under a pressure of at least 500 bar to moldings with a highly lustrous surface which appears metallic. The moldings are suitable for use as electrical conductors, semiconductors or photoconductors. A suitable apparatus for producing the moldings has an inert gas-fillable and evacuatable press capsule, which is placed between a die and an abutment in a heatable molding apparatus.
