Robert M. Skrowronek 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).

  • Reinforced thermoplastic composite systems
    Patent number: 6322893
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the manufacture of reinforced composites. This method provides a process that allows for the direct mixing of discontinuous reinforcement such as wet chopped strands of glass fiber or continuous reinforcement such as glass strands, with an aqueous suspension of a solution polymerized polymer, such as polyvinyl chloride. The process results in a cost-effective means for reinforcing polymers such as PVC while simultaneously substantially improving properties such as impact strength, stiffness, and moldability without the need for a binder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2001
    Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: James V. Gauchel, Robert M. Skrowronek, Thomas F. Martin, III, Anthony G. Hankin
