Publication number: 20240002671Abstract: A surface modified and functionalized carbon black for use in a rubber compound suitable for tire tread compounds which can be described as a surface modified low hysteresis carbon black. The modified carbon black contains a chemical consisting of at least one amine group and at least one thiol group and/or di- and/or polysulfidic linkage. The surface modified low hysteresis carbon black in a representative rubber tire tread compound shows improved rolling resistance, improved wet traction, and improved or maintained abrasion resistance, being superior to compounds containing N234 carbon black or silica. The improved tire rolling resistance obtained by using a compound containing a surface modified low hysteresis carbon black is highly desirable for reduced CO2 emissions, reduced pollution, sustainability, and protection of the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Continental Carbon Co.Inventors: Lashan Madusha Hendavitharanage De Silva, Raymond Soufiani, Eduardo Vega, JR., Angel Jose Marcucci, Michael Brendan Rodgers

Patent number: 7566434Abstract: A method for separating single-wall carbon nanotubes from an aqueous slurry comprises adding a water-immiscible organic solvent to an aqueous slurry comprising single-wall carbon nanotubes, isolating at least some of the single-wall carbon nanotubes in the solvent, and removing the solvent from the single-wall carbon nanotubes to form dried single-wall carbon nanotubes. A spheroidal aggregate of single-wall carbon nanotubes is formed wherein the aggregate is approximately spherical and has a diameter in a range of about 0.1 and about 5 mm, and wherein the aggregate contains at least about 80 wt % single-wall carbon nanotubes. The spheroidal aggregates of single-wall carbon nanotubes are easily handled in industrial processes and are redispersable to single-wall carbon nanotubes and/or ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes. This invention can also be applied to multi-wall carbon nanotubes.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2006Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Unidym, Inc.Inventors: Yuemei Yang, Martin Grosboll, Eduardo Vega, Jr.

Patent number: 6659044Abstract: An apparatus and method for conditioning water in open fish breeding cages, which can solve the problems of “bloom of harmful seaweed” and the “lack of dissolved oxygen concentration in the water”. The apparatus includes a tube having adjustable open upper and lower ends and an impeller for drawing a major water flow in either direction through the tube. To solve the “bloom of harmful seaweed” the apparatus draws water upward from deeper water with low algae concentration to the bloom zone, dissolving and moving the harmful seaweed far away from the cages. To solve the “lack of dissolved oxygen concentration” the apparatus draws water downward from the surface water having high concentrations of dissolved oxygen to deeper water with low concentrations of dissolved oxygen, increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the middle and the bottom of the cages, where the biggest oxygen consuming fish concentration are located.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Tech Master S.A.Inventor: Daniel Eduardo Vega Salinas
