Peter Spanhove 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).

  • Patent number: 8889799
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an isocyanate-based polymeric material by polymerizing a reaction mixture which comprises different reaction components, including at least one polyisocyanate component and at least one component which is reactive towards said polyisocyanate component. The reaction components comprise at least one anchor component which has at least one anchor group which enables to bond a functional component covalently to the polymeric material. The anchor group is a reactive unsaturated group which does not react during the polymerization process so that the polymerization process is not interfered. The anchor group is selected to that it can bind the functional component by a click chemistry reaction to the polymeric material.

  • Patent number: 5444098
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a mainly closed cell phenolic foam by curing a foam system comprising at least a phenolic resin and a blowing agent. This curing is effected in the presence of an either or not alkylated morpholine which is fluorated whether completely or not and which corresponds to the following general structural formula:C.sub.n H.sub.x F.sub.y NOwherein:N.gtoreq.4x=2n+1-yy=2n+1-x.In this way, it is possible to obtain a phenolic foam having good insulation properties even if use is made of a blowing agent which is substantially free of CFC's or if the foam temperature is allowed to rise during the curing upto above 85.degree. C. to obtain a better curing.
