Abstract: Disclosed is an oil catch can device employing a porous polymer matrix which filters and collects oil and other combustion byproducts typically found in “blow-by” gasses of an internal combustion engine. Employing a porous polymer matrix is a more effective means of filtering and collecting components of blow-by gasses due to the physical and chemical properties of the matrix. Various polymers can be used to produce the porous polymer matrix. By controlling the polymer type and particle size distribution of the particles that are sintered to create the matrix, filtration and adsorption can be maximized while maintaining a sufficient flow rate of gasses through the device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sound-suppressing device that employs a porous micro-channel diffusion matrix surrounding a hollow core lube that acts to increase the surface area of the suppressor and allow combustion gasses to diffuse and exit the suppressor. Various polymers can fee used to produce the porous micro-channel diffusion matrices. These porous polymer micro-channel diffusion matrices are made by sintering processes. By controlling the polymer type and particle size distribution of the particles that are sintered to create the porous polymer micro-channel diffusion matrix, the suppression can be maximized.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sound-suppressing device that employs a porous micro-channel diffusion matrix surrounding a hollow core tube that acts to exponentially increase the surface area of the suppressor and allow combustion gasses to diffuse and exit the suppressor across the entire outer surface of the suppressor.
