Patent number: 10675836Abstract: A biocontainer film enhanced with an abrasion resistant or “cut-proof” substrate. Such substrates can be combined with current biocontainer materials, via various techniques of embedding, coextrusion or laminating, to maintain the cleanliness and low extractables already validated for biotech manufacturing. The substrate of choice may be constructed from materials known to be more resistant to abrasion and sharp razor type cuts or from materials oriented in such a way to prevent puncture to occur. The new substrate must also be flexible to allow for typical folding as demonstrated by current packaging practices. The new substrate may be constructed from materials other than polymers such as metal, glass or carbon or in combination with polymers. A non-constrained pressure test is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: David DeCoste, Joseph Cianciolo, Michael Furbush, John Saragosa

Patent number: 7582689Abstract: Elastomer masterbatch is processed in a continuous compounder having multiple parallel elongate rotors axially oriented in an elongate processing chamber. Optionally, additional materials are compounded into the masterbatch, e.g., additives, other elastomeric compositions, etc. Preferably, the masterbatch then is further processed in an open mill. Excellent control of Mooney Viscosity is achieved. In certain preferred embodiments, elastomer composites are produced by novel continuous flow methods and apparatus in which fluid streams of particulate filler and elastomer latex are fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a coagulated mixture in semi-confined flow continuously from the mixing zone through a coagulum zone to a discharge end of the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2005Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Cabot CorporationInventors: Bin Chung, Susan W.

Patent number: 7201647Abstract: Provided are encapsulated belts and encapsulated pads for use in a variety of polishing application, including the chemical-mechanical polishing and planarization of semiconductor wafers and other workpieces. The encapsulated belts and pads are characterized by a robust seal between a polishing layer of the pad or belt and the edges of the subpad layer of the pad or belt. The robust seal is accomplished by casting a polymer directly over the subpad layer. The edges of the subpad layer may include one or more functional features that promote the formation of a watertight and slurry-resistant seal when the subpad layer is covered with a cast polymer. Also provided is a method of producing a robust seal between the polishing layer and the edge region of the subpad by encapsulating a subpad layer with a polymeric material.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2002Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brian Lombardo, Joseph Cianciolo
