Sarah M. Cooper 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).

  • Polymeric composite including nanoparticle filler
    Patent number: 8217108
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel polymeric composite including a nanoparticle filler and method for the production thereof. More particularly, the present invention provides a novel halloysite nanoparticle filler which has the generally cylindrical or tubular (e.g. rolled scroll-like shape), in which the mean outer diameter of the filler particle is typically less than about 500 nm. The filler is effectively employed in a polymer composite in which the advantages of the tubular nanoparticle filler are provided (e.g., reinforcement, flame retardant, chemical agent elution, etc.) with improved or equivalent mechanical performance of the composite (e.g., strength and ductility).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 10, 2012
    Assignee: NaturalNano, Inc.
    Inventors: Sarah M. Cooper, Cathy Fleischer, Michael Duffy, Aaron Wagner
