Patents by Inventor Wolfgang Woebel

Wolfgang Woebel 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).

  • Patent number: 8476391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing anionic water-in-water polymer dispersions containing at least one finely dispersed, water-soluble and/or water-swellable polymer A and a continuous aqueous phase. This phase has a partial quantity of at least one polymeric dispersing agent B in which monomers dispersed in this aqueous phase are subjected to a radical polymerization, and after the polymerization is completed, the reaction mixture is subsequently diluted with the remaining amount of dispersing agent B. The invention also relates to the polymer dispersions obtained according to the method and to their use, particularly in the paper industry.

  • Publication number: 20080033094
    Abstract: The invention relates to a water-in-oil polymer dispersion which comprises a polymer A having a cationic monomer content of at least 55% by weight and at least one polymer dispersant B based on cationized dialkylaminoalkyl(meth)acrylamides having an average molecular weight of more than 350,000 to 1 million g/mol. The invention also relates to a method for producing said dispersion and to the use thereof.

  • Patent number: 7323510
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for manufacturing a water-in-water polymer dispersion containing polymer A and at least one polymer dispersant B, according to which monomers, which are dispersed in an aqueous phase containing water-soluble dispersant B, are subjected to radical polymerization, possibly following the addition of a water-soluble salt, and, after polymerisation, a water-soluble acid is added to the water-soluble and/or water-swellable polymer A obtained in this way, where the acid is added in quantities of 0.1 to 5% by weight and the salt in quantities of up to a maximum of 3% by weight, each referred to the total dispersion, and the total quantity of salt and acid amounts to a maximum of 5% by weight, referred to the total dispersion.
