John J. Wood, III 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).

  • Rotational moldable composition comprising polyethylene, and a blend of a pigment and a polyethylene copolymer
    Patent number: 10479882
    Abstract: A preblend of one or more pigments and one or more polymers derived from ethylene monomers and ?-olefin monomers when added to polyethylene unexpectedly results in high improvements in impact strength with regard to rotationally molded products as compared to the same products not blended with any preblend. The result is a cost effective, high impact resistant polyethylene that is a physical, dry color blend.
    Type: Grant

  • Toughened polymer compositions
    Patent number: 7557162
    Abstract: Toughened thermoplastic compositions comprising a thermoplastic polymer toughened by the inclusion of a thermoplastic elastomer derived from a particulate rubber dynamically vulcanized in the presence of a matrix polymer. The toughened thermoplastic composition exhibits properties including toughness, improved impact resistance, and improved hardness. The compositions are utilized wherever toughened, high performance polymers are desired. A method for forming the toughened polymer compositions is also described. Processing methods, such as rotational molding, utilizing the toughened polymer compositions are described.
