Marco Wilhemus Fraaije 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).

  • Process for the production of methyl methacrylate
    Patent number: 9816115
    Abstract: The invention includes a process of producing methyl methacrylate or derivatives thereof is described. The process includes the steps of converting 2-butanone to methyl propionate using a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, and treating the methyl propionate produced to obtain methyl methacrylate or derivatives thereof. A method of preparing polymers or copolymers of methyl methacrylate or its derivatives is also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2017
    Assignee: LUCITE INTERNATIONAL UK LIMITED
    Inventors: Graham Ronald Eastham, David William Johnson, Adrianus Johannes Jozef Straathof, Marco Wilhemus Fraaije, Remko Tsjibbe Winter
  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF AN ALKYL METHACRYLATE
    Publication number: 20150299743
    Abstract: A process for the production of an alkyl methacrylate, particularly methyl methacrylate, is provided, in which a Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase enzyme is used to convert an alkylisopropenylketone substrate to the relevant alkyl methacrylate by abnormal asymmetric oxygen insertion. The invention provides a biobased route to key industrial monomers in particular for the generation of polymers such as poly methyl methacrylate.
