Patent number: 8342492Abstract: The present disclosure provides a novel suspension device used in producing a composition, such as, but not limited to, a polyimide composition. The suspension device in its most general form comprises a support element and an attachment element. The attachment element is in communication at one of its ends with the support element and at the other with a workpiece, such as a poly(amic acid) or polyimide workpiece. The suspension device may further comprise additional elements. The suspension device maintains the workpiece in a suspended state during processing so as to reduce or eliminate processing-related defects.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Nexolve CorporationInventors: Garrett D.

Publication number: 20120190802Abstract: A process for adjusting polyimide polymer properties includes combining monomers in a reaction mass to form a polyimide precursor. A property modifying moiety which is covalently bonded to an amine is then added to the reaction mass, and the reaction between the amine bonded to the property modifying moiety and the polyimide precursor is arrested before equilibrium. The polyimide precursor is imidized to form a polyimide polymer prior to equilibrium.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2011Publication date: July 26, 2012Applicant: Nexolve CorporationInventors: Garrett D.

Patent number: 7785517Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel methods of producing a composition, such as, but not limited to, a polyimide composition. The methods in their most general form comprise providing a workpiece, suspending the workpiece and subjecting the suspended workpiece to processing such that the workpiece undergoes a transformation from a first state to a second state. By maintaining the workpiece in a suspended state during processing, processing-related defects are reduced or eliminated. Using such methods, the present disclosure provides compositions that are have no or reduced processing-related defects. In addition, the compositions are more consistent in chemical and physical properties and are cheaper and more economical to produce (since less product is rejected as unsuitable).Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: NeXolve CorporationInventors: Garrett D.

Patent number: 7701145Abstract: An improved solid expellant plasma generator has been developed. The plasma generator includes a support housing, an electrode rod located in the central portion of the housing, and a mass of solid expellant material that surrounds the electrode rod within the support housing. The electrode rod and the solid expellant material are made of separate materials that are selected so that the electrode and the solid expellant material decompose at the same rate when the plasma generator is ignited. This maintains a point of discharge of the plasma at the interface between the electrode and the solid expellant material.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: NeXolve CorporationInventors: Nobie H. Stone, Garrett D. Poe, Robert Rood

Publication number: 20090069508Abstract: A soluble polyimide polymer with tethered oligomeric silsesquioxane compounds is produced using efficient, gentle reactions. A carboxylic acid attachment point on the polymer backbone is used to connect the oligomeric silsesquioxane. The oligomeric silsesquioxane compound includes an amine or an alcohol on an organic tether, which reacts with the carboxylic acid attachment point to produce either an amide or an ester bond. The amide or ester bond includes a carbonyl carbon directly connected to a phenyl group in the polymer backbone. The resultant polyimide polymer has many beneficial properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: ManTech SRS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Garrett D.
