  • Patent number: 9217737
    Abstract: The present invention is related to hydrocarbon compositions comprising butanol that have substantially the same or improved performance properties than comparable hydrocarbon compositions comprising ethanol and to methods for identifying such compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2015
    Assignee: Butamax Advanced Biofuels LLC
    Inventors: Dennis P. Boyd, Theresa M. Dobel, Don Germano, Robert S. Grace, Phillip R. Greene, Ken Kimura, Geoffrey Lulham, Adam Schubert, Ronald D. Stevens, Delwyn Greene
  • Patent number: 8357748
    Abstract: Peroxide curable fluoroelastomer compositions and articles made therefrom are disclosed. The compositions contain 5 to 45 weight percent, based on total weight of all fluoroelastomers present in the composition, of a blend of dynamically cured fluoroelastomer particles in an uncured fluoroelastomer. The compositions are unfilled, but have tensile properties adequate for many end use applications and are particularly useful as seals in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
    Type: Grant
