  • Star-and tree-shaped branched polymers having flame-retardant properties
    Patent number: 9822308
    Abstract: Disclosed are polymers with a complex branched structure (star- or tree-shaped) obtainable by polymerizing a bifunctional type AB monomer and/or type AA+BB monomers in the presence of: a) one or more polyamine and/or a polyacid and/or a polyalcohol and/or more generally a compound (such as POSS) having at least three functional groups such as amino, carboxylic acid or hydroxyl functions; b) one or more phosphorus containing molecules reacting with only one reactive group during the polymerization; c) optionally one or more organic acid and/or an amine and/or an alcohol having one or two functional groups.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017
    Assignee: UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO
    Inventors: Giuseppe Di Silvestro, Yuan Cuiming, Marco Ortenzi, Hermes Farina, Tommaso Lugato, Luca Basilissi
  • BRANCHED LACTIC ACID POLYMERS WITH HIGH VISCOSITY IN THE MOLTEN STATE AND HIGH SHEAR SENSITIVITY, AND NANOCOMPOSITES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20140179893
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polymer obtainable by bulk polymerization of lactide or lactic acid or a lactic acid copolymer obtainable by copolymerization of lactide or lactic acid with glycolide, glycolic acid and/or hydroxyacids in open or closed (cyclic) form in the presence of at least two organic and/or organic/inorganic chain regulators or a functionalized nanoparticle (nanosilica, montmorillonite).
