Patents by Inventor Christopher G. Cooper

Christopher G. Cooper 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).

  • POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) AND COPOLYMERS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220227994
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the present invention provides polymeric compositions that combine polylactic acid (PLA) (or heteropolymers of lactic acid) with additives (organic or inorganic), such as elastomeric additives and/or co-polymer additives. Such polymeric blends may exhibit improved mechanical properties and/or degradation rates compared to PLA homo-polymer (or a lactic acid heteropolymer).

  • BIO-BASED ETHYLENE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIO-BASED POLYMERS, COPOLYMERS, AND OTHER BIO-BASED CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20220204663
    Abstract: Bio-based ethanol, such as ethanol produced from lignocellulosic materials, for example, is processed to produce bio-based ethylene, which can then be processed further to produce other bio-based materials including bio-based polymers and copolymers, including bio-based polyethylene, bio-based ?-olefins, bio-based 1,2-diols, as well as other compounds.
