Hee Ryoung Koo 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).

  • Patent number: 11591422
    Abstract: A method can be used for manufacturing an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer for a fuel cell. A polymerization step includes subjecting an organic chelate compound forming a coordinate bond, a vanadium-based Ziegler-Natta catalyst, an organoaluminum compound, and ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers, together with a solvent, to polymerization in a reactor. A separation step includes recovering residual catalysts and unreacted monomers from the stream discharged from the reactor. An acquisition step includes recovering the solvent from the stream deprived of the residual catalysts and unreacted monomers to acquire the ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11220566
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer, and more particularly, to a method for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer by using a catalyst composition for preparing an ethylene-based elastic copolymer, the catalyst composition comprising a binuclear constrained geometry transition metal compound, as a main catalyst, having a structural advantage to obtain a high-molecular-weight ethylene-based elastic copolymer due to a high polymerization activity and comonomer reactivity because the binuclear constrained geometry transition metal compound has a structure in which cyclopentadiene ligands of two constrained geometry catalysts are linked by 1,4-phenylene, and one or more cocatalyst compounds selected from the group consisting of an organoaluminum compound, an organoaluminoxane compound, and a boron compound.

  • Patent number: 7119157
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing an EP(D)M elastomer, which includes pre-cooling a reactive solvent to ?80 to ?100° C.; and polymerizing ethylene, at least one higher ?-olefin having 3 to 18 carbons, and selectively, at least one conjugated or non-conjugated diene having 5 to 15 carbons, in the presence of the reactive solvent. According to the method of the current invention, the yield of the EP(D)M elastomer is drastically increased even though a conventional preparation device is used unchanged. Further, methods of controlling the yield of the EP(D)M elastomer and of recovering the EP(D)M elastomer are provided.
