  • Methods for improving nanocellulose dispersion in elastomeric compounds, and compositions containing dispersed nanocellulose in elastomer compounds
    Patent number: 12134698
    Abstract: Nanocellulose dispersion compositions containing a partitioning agent and a nanocellulose, and methods of making the nanocellulose dispersion compositions, are disclosed. These compositions can promote improved dispersibility of the nanocellulose fibrils and nanocellulose crystals in polymer matrices, such as in elastomer formulations for use in tire production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2024
    Assignee: GranBio Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC
    Inventors: Charles R. Herd, Zachary A. Combs, Lewis B. Tunnicliffe, Kimberly Nelson, Shaobo Pan
  • NANOCELLULOSE DISPERSION COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CARBON BLACK FOR TIRE APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20230071816
    Abstract: Nanocellulose dispersion compositions containing a partitioning agent and a nanocellulose, and methods of making the nanocellulose dispersion compositions, are disclosed. These nanocellulose dispersion compositions can be used in tire formulations with carbon black and a suitable elastomer to produce articles of manufacture for use in tire and tread applications.
