  • Thermoset rubber reinforced by supramolecule building blocks
    Patent number: 9982117
    Abstract: A thermoset rubber composition includes a thermoset rubber having crystallized domains dispersed therein, the crystallized domains being formed of supramolecule building blocks forming a plurality of sheet-like structures through hydrogen bonding, the sheet-like structures interacting through non-covalent interactions to form the crystallized domains within the thermoset rubber. The supramolecular building blocks may be peptides, ?-peptides, aramid oligomers, and bis-ureas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2018
    Assignee: The University of Akron
    Inventors: Li Jia, Gary Hamed, Xin Tan

  • Self-reinforced rubber matrix having high glass transition temperature thermoset domains
    Patent number: 6476131
    Abstract: A self-reinforced polymeric composition of matter comprising a plurality of hard domains dispersed throughout an elastomeric matrix, wherein the plurality of hard domains are formed by thermodynamic phase separation and crosslinking of at least one thermosettable domain block of a polymeric precursor and are substantially bonded to the elastomeric matrix.
