Patents by Inventor Herman B. Savenije

Herman B. Savenije 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: 5204394
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer mixture which comprises an aromatic polycarbonate, a styrene-containing copolymer and/or a styrene-containing graft polymer and a flame-retardant. It has been found that the use of a certain type of flame-retardants, namely oligomeric phosphates leads to a polymer mixture having improved properties. In particular to a polymer mixture having a good combination of flame retardancy, non-juicing characteristics of the flame retardant, good plastifying effect and good heat resistance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 1992
    Date of Patent: April 20, 1993
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Patent number: 4931503
    Abstract: A composition comprising an admixture of(a) an aromatic polycarbonate of intrinsic viscosity of from about 0.35 to about 0.41 dl/g, measured in methylene chloride at about 25.degree. C., said aromatic polycarbonate chain terminated with an endcapping agent which provides the polycarbonate with improved ductility and higher Tg when compared to a paratertiary butyl phenol encapped polycarbonate of the same intrinsic viscosity;(b) a core/shell copolymer comprising a conjugated diene with a Tg of less than or equal to -10.degree. C. as the core, said core being about 50 to 90 wt.
