  • Publication number: 20160208226
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pyruvate: ?-amino acid transaminases isolated from a Pseudomonas species. The transaminases act on long chain amino acids and are capable of accepting substrates comprising 8 to 12 carbon atoms. The enzymes are suitable as biocatalysts for the manufacture of nylon.

  • Publication number: 20060252871
    Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites are produced using a supercritical fluid (e.g., supercritical carbon dioxide). The carbon dioxide mixes with the nano-clay particulates and diffuses into the galleries to make the particulates susceptible to separation. The particulates can be subjected to a mechanical beating operation to reduce them in size and to reduce the formation of agglomerates. The particulates and supercritical fluid are then injected as a mixture directly into a polymer stream. Because the line leading to the polymer stream is open, the pressure drop as the particles travel to the polymer causes the particles to exfoliate. Further, because the supercritical carbon dioxide is present with the particles during exfoliation and injection into the polymer, the particles tend to stay exfoliated and disperse as fine particles throughout the polymer. The supercritical carbon dioxide also lowers the viscosity of the polymer to assist in distributing the exfoliated particles.
