  • Catalyst and process for ring opening polymerization
    Patent number: 11787821
    Abstract: The present invention discloses new catalyst systems based on trivalent metal complexes of Formula I, which can facilitate the stereospecific ring-opening polymerization of (rac)-?-Butyrolactone (rac-BBL). Also provided is a process for the stereospecific synthesis of aliphatic polyesters using the catalysts of Formula I, including alcohols and polyols as chain-transfer agents to facilitate immortal ring-opening polymerization.

  • Clay based anticorrosion coatings and methods for applying same to metal substrates
    Patent number: 11359097
    Abstract: A coating for protecting a substrate from corrosion includes a first layer having a first composition applied on the substrate. The coating has a thickness of at least 0.5 ?m. The first composition includes an intercalated mixture of a polymer and a clay according to a formula of (Px/C1-x)v, where v comprises a volume of the intercalated mixture applied to the substrate.

  • Coatings and methods for using and producing the same
    Patent number: 10934438
    Abstract: Coatings and methods of using and producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a coating includes a first ligand and a second ligand different than the first ligand. The first ligand includes a first carboxylic moiety, a first aromatic moiety, and a first linking moiety connecting the first carboxylic moiety to the first aromatic moiety. the first linking moiety includes an alkene. The second ligand includes a second carboxylic moiety. The coating includes a metal that is a lanthanoid metal, and the coating includes a coating resin.
