Oscar French Noel, III 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).

  • High flexural modulus and/or high heat deflection temperature thermoplastic elastomers and methods for producing the same
    Patent number: 6569934
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mineral filled thermoplastic olefin (MFTPO) composition comprising a polymer mixture, a mineral and a flexural modulus modifying agent and/or a heat deflection temperature modifying agent, and a method for producing the same. The flexural modulus modifying agent and/or a heat deflection temperature modifying agent significantly increases the flexural modulus and/or a heat deflection temperature of the MFTPO without substantially affecting the falling weight impact resistance of the MFTPO relative to a similar MFTPO composition which lacks the flexural modulus modifying agent and/or a heat deflection temperature modifying agent.
