Patent number: 11987653Abstract: A method of preparing a polyolefin is disclosed. In some examples, the method comprises contacting an olefin monomer with an olefin polymerization precatalyst and a photoacid generator (PAG) to provide an olefin polymerization mixture; and irradiating the olefin polymerization matrix for a first period of time with ultraviolet or visible light, activating the precatalyst to catalyze polymerization of the olefin monomer, thereby preparing a polyolefin. Additive manufacturing approaches employing the methods are also disclosed, as are ink compositions comprising an olefin polymerization precatalyst and a PAG.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: University of Tennessee Research FoundationInventors: Brian Keith Long, Jordan Michael Kaiser

Publication number: 20240130603Abstract: A dish rack for cleaning reusable plastic dishware can include a bottom support wall, a sidewall defining an outer frame, and a cover positionable over the bottom support wall. In some examples, the dish rack includes spaced-apart prongs extending upwardly from the bottom support wall. In use, an operator can load reusable plastic dishware on or between the prongs of the dish rack and close the cover. This can enclose the reusable plastic in a space bounded between the bottom support wall, the sidewall defining the frame, and the cover. Once loaded, the operator can insert the dishrack into the dishwasher to clean the reusable plastic dishware while retained in the dish rack. The dish rack can allow the reusable plastic dishware to be properly cleaned while minimizing or eliminating problems associated with the comparatively light reusable plastic dishware moving in response to high pressure water within the dishwasher.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Jessica Rose Carlson, Jordan Lundberg, Stan James Jones, Michael Keith Bost
