  • Publication number: 20240059853
    Abstract: An oxygen barrier packaging material is provided. The packaging film includes a substrate polymer formed as a transparent and flexible film. An at least 75 percent light transmissive, oxygen barrier coating is formed on the substrate polymer transparent and flexible film. The oxygen barrier coating is formed from a composition that includes approximately 15 wt % to 35 wt % of a coating polymer in dry weight, approximately 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % of nanoparticles in dry weight, approximately 40 wt % to 75 wt % of a plasticizer in dry weight, and approximately 5 wt % to 20 wt % of a crosslinking agent in dry weight. The nanoparticles in the coating create a convoluted path for oxygen and the coating is stretchable and bendable with the substrate polymer.

  • Patent number: 8242049
    Abstract: A catalytic material which includes a metal oxide catalyst anchored to a nano-sized metal oxide crystal as support and functions well at low temperatures. The catalytic material may optionally include another metal oxide as a promoter deposited on the surface of the support to modify the properties of the metal oxide catalyst and/or the properties of the support. The catalyst may be vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide or molybdenum oxide; the support may be TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, or WO3; and the promoter may be vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide or molybdenum oxide. The present invention also provides a method of producing the catalytic materials, which is useful in removing ammonia and other nitrogen containing contaminants.
