Hiroaki Otonari 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: 9765170
    Abstract: The invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition, which does not substantially compromise color rendering and flame retardance of a thermoplastic resin and has high impact resistance, slidability, and chemical resistance in a wide scope of environmental conditions ranging from low temperature to high temperature. A graft copolymer (GF2) containing rubber is a graft copolymer containing rubber formed by performing graft polymerization of 1 or more vinyl monomers on a composite rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1) and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate (B2). The content of a component derived from a silane compound containing a vinyl-based polymerizable group in the polyorganosiloxane (B1) is 1 mass % to 10 mass %. The volume-average particle size of the graft copolymer containing rubber is 300 nm to 2000 nm. The content of the polyorganosiloxane (B1) in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 70 mass % to 98 mass %. An acetone soluble matter is 5.0 mass % or more and 30.0 mass % or less.

  • Patent number: 9315634
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of producing a graft copolymer, comprising polymerizing a vinyl monomer (B) containing a polyfunctional vinyl monomer (b1) in the presence of a polyorganosiloxane rubber (A) comprising more than 20% by mass of a toluene-insoluble matter, wherein a mass percentage of the polyfunctional vinyl monomer (b1) is 11 to 19% by mass based on 100% by mass of a total amount of the polyorganosiloxane rubber (A) and the vinyl monomer (B); a graft copolymer obtained by the method; a resin composition being prepared by blending the graft copolymer with a resin and having high impact resistance and heat resistance and sufficient flame retardancy; and a molded article obtained by molding the resin composition.
