  • ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYCARBONATE COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20170058105
    Abstract: An electrically conductive polymer compound is disclosed. The compound comprises a matrix comprising polycarbonate and carbon nanotubes dispersed in the matrix. The carbon nanotubes are disaggregated and disagglomerated within the polycarbonate, when the compound is viewed at 20,000× magnification. The compound is useful for making extruded plastic sheet, molded objects, or other plastic articles that need electrical properties.

  • Catalysts for esterification of epoxidized soyates and methods of using same
    Patent number: 8481767
    Abstract: A combination of catalysts is disclosed as useful to promote the transesterification reaction of an epoxidized soyate with a polyol to yield a high percentage of epoxidized soyate diester with epoxy functionality retained. The primary catalyst is a metallic hydroxide, and the secondary catalyst is a titanate. Bioderived plasticizers useful for thermoplastics and thermosets result.

  • Epoxidized soyate diesters and methods of using same
    Patent number: 8383708
    Abstract: An unhindered polyol is used to react with an epoxidized soyate to make epoxidized soyate diester in the presence of a catalyst. The unhindered polyol can be 1,3-propanediol or any polyol having four or more carbon atoms with no two adjacent carbon atoms having hydroxyl functionality. Preferably, a combination of catalysts is used to promote the transesterification reaction of the epoxidized soyate with the unhindered polyol to yield a high percentage of epoxidized soyate diester with epoxy functionality retained. The primary catalyst is a metallic hydroxide, and the secondary catalyst is a titanate. Bioderived epoxidized soyate diester plasticizers useful for thermoplastics and thermosets result.
