  • Polymers, composites, and methods for making polymers and composites
    Patent number: 10184022
    Abstract: Polymeric materials and methods for making the polymeric materials utilizing bisphenolic stillbottoms, lignosulfonates, or both are disclosed. In one embodiment, a polymer is provided that includes a condensate of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an optional phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms, an aldehyde, and a lignosulfonate compound. The condensate may further include an amino compound, a catalyst, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, the polymer may be free of a phenolic compound independent of bisphenolic stillbottoms. The polymers may be used in the manufacture of articles including composites, laminates and paper products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2019
    Assignee: HEXION INC.
    Inventors: Adam Daniel Dowden, Harden Christopher Wren, Todd Ross Miller
