Rick De Groot 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: 10954355
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of an improved reusable capture complex and a method of releasable capturing an additive present in a polymer material. The capture complex comprises a catalyst entity, a magnetic nanoparticle, and a bridging moiety solely between the catalyst entity and the magnetic nanoparticle The present use and method provide a high reduction of free additive of a polymer material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 23, 2021

  • Patent number: 10777343
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of fluids and the like comprising magnetic particles, such as ferromagnetic particles, anti-ferromagnetic particles, ferrimagnetic particles, synthetic magnetic particles, paramagnetic particles, superparamagnetic particles, such as magnetic fluids, a method of stabilizing magnetic particles, use of these fluids and functionalized particles. Such fluids have a large variety of applications, such as sealants, as a sensor, in biomedics, etc. The present invention is further directed to a method of obtaining a catalyst for use in the depolymerisation of polymers into oligomers and monomer.
