Caitlin E. Young 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).

  • Publication number: 20190225736
    Abstract: A reactive plasticizer is comprised of a reaction product of an isocyanate having two isocyanate groups and a linear polyether monol. The monol has a weight average molecular weight of about 500 to about 2000 grams/mole. The amount of isocyanate and linear polyether monol are such that the isocyanate groups are in molar excess of the amount of alcohol groups and the reaction product has an isocyanate content of 0.1% to 1% by weight of the reaction product, The reactive plasticizer is particularly useful for formulating one part moisture cured polyurethane adhesives comprised of the reactive filler, an isocyanate terminated prepolymer, filler and a catalyst.

  • Patent number: 9868810
    Abstract: An isocyanate terminated prepolymer has been discovered that has sufficiently low glass transition temperature (Tg), necessary rheological properties and mechanical properties that allows for the making of adhesive compositions useful for bonding substrates into larger structures (e.g., windows in vehicles and buildings) with minimal or no plasticizers. The polyether prepolymer comprises a polyisocyanate reaction product of a polyisocyanate having an isocyanate functionality of greater than 2 and a polyether monol having an average molecular weight (Mw) of 1000 to 2000 g/moles and said prepolymer having: (i) a weight molecular weight average (Mw) of about 2000 to about 30,000 g/mole, (ii) a free isocyanate content of 0.8% to 4% by weight of said prepolymer, and (iii) viscosity of 1000 to 50,000 centipoises.
