Patents by Inventor Mats Timothy KNOOP

Mats Timothy KNOOP 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).

  • Method for producing thermally stable melt-spinnable pan copolymers, pan copolymers, molded bodies made thereof, and a method for producing said molded bodies
    Patent number: 11203656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel synthesis process in order to produce meltable PAN copolymers with increased thermal stability. The PAN copolymers produced using the method according to the invention surprisingly exhibit improved thermal and mechanical properties compared to PAN copolymers produced using methods known from the prior art. The invention additionally relates to corresponding PAN copolymers and to molded bodies produced therefrom or to a method for producing such molded bodies, in particular melt-spun mono- or mufti-filaments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2021
    Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.
    Inventors: Mats Timothy Knoop, Antje Lieske, Mathias Hahn
  • Melt spinnable copolymers from polyacrylonitrile, method for producing fibers or fiber precursors by means of melt spinning, and fibers produced accordingly
    Patent number: 11180869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of thermally stabilised melt-spun fibres in which polyacrilonitrile (PAN) fibres or PAN fibre precursors produced by melt-spinning are treated in an aqueous alkaline solution, comprising in addition a solvent for PAN. Likewise, the invention relates to fibres which are producible according to this method.
