Brian T. Cartwright 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).

  • Fluorinated short carbon atom side chain and polar group containing polymer, and flow, or leveling, or wetting agents thereof
    Patent number: 6660828
    Abstract: The polymer of the present invention is derived from cyclic ether monomers, dioxane, dioxalane or trioxane and contains both pendant Rf fluoro groups as well as polar groups. These polymers have good wetting, or flow, or leveling properties. They can be reacted with other monomers, such as in the preparation of polyesters, and can be used in waxes, polishes and coatings.

  • Fluorinated short carbon atom side chain and polar group containing polymer, and flow, or leveling, or wetting agents thereof
    Publication number: 20030092862
    Abstract: A fluorine containing polymer which acts as a wetting, flow or leveling agent, and has at least one polar group. The polymer has at least one pendant or short side chain containing from about 1 to about 7 carbon atoms with at least 25% of the hydrogen atoms being replaced by fluorine atoms. The fluorinated polymers unexpectedly impart wetting, flow or leveling properties to a variety of coatings while producing little foam.
