Michael Mainil 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).

  • Polymer-based composites comprising carbon nanotubes as a filler, method for producing said composites, and associated uses
    Patent number: 7968660
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing carbon nanotubes in a dispersed state. The method comprises a stage whereby polymerization is carried out from at least one so-called monomer of interest, in the presence of a catalytic system. The catalytic system comprises a co-catalyst/catalyst catalytic couple that is supported by a catalyst carrier, which corresponds to said carbon nanotubes. The invention also relates to composite materials obtained by said method, and to a catalytic system for implementing said method. The invention further relates to the use of the inventive method and products in a field of polymers, especially that of nanotechnologies.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 28, 2011
    Assignee: Nanocyl S.A.
    Inventors: Philippe Dubois, Michael Alexandre, Daniel Bonduel, Michael Mainil
