  • Fibers made from long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers
    Patent number: 6037048
    Abstract: Fibers having increased strength and small diameters can be produced from compositions comprising long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers. Due to the increased fiber strength, less strand breakage occurs during processing which increases process productivity and yield.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 1999
    Date of Patent: March 14, 2000
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: Curtis E. Peterson, Roel H. Vossen, Yi-Bin Huang, Paul J. Moses, Jr.
  • Long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers
    Patent number: 5990256
    Abstract: Long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers can be obtained by polymerizing the vinyl aromatic monomer in the presence of a small amount of a multifunctional monomer under conditions such that a syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymer is produced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 1998
    Date of Patent: November 23, 1999
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: Thomas H. Newman, Yi-Bin Huang, Mark S. Chahl
  • Fibers made from long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers
    Patent number: 5965682
    Abstract: Fibers having increased strength and small diameters can be produced from compositions comprising long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers derived from the polymerization of a vinyl aromatic monomer in the presence of from 10 to 1000 ppm, based on the amount of vinyl aromatic monomer, of a multifunctional monomer having more than one olefinic functionality. Due to the increased fiber strength, less strand breakage occurs during processing which increases process productivity and yield.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 1998
    Date of Patent: October 12, 1999
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: Curtis E. Peterson, Yi-Bin Huang, Roel H. Vossen, Paul J. Moses, Jr.
  • Thermoplastic resins containing coated additives
    Patent number: 5426171
    Abstract: A composition of matter comprising 25 to 99 parts by weight thermoplastic resin and 75 to 1 part by weight solid reinforcing agent having a surface coating of a polar group functionalized polyarylene ether.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 1993
    Date of Patent: June 20, 1995
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: Yi-Bin Huang, Bruce P. Thill
  • Impact modified syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers
    Patent number: 5391603
    Abstract: A composition of matter comprising:A) from 25 to 90 parts by weight of a syndiotactic, vinylaromatic thermoplastic resin,B) from 1 to 50 parts by weight of a rubbery, impact absorbing domain forming polymer,C) from 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of a nucleator for the syndiotactic, vinylaromatic thermoplastic resin,D) from 0 to 90 parts by weight of an mineral, glass, ceramic, polymeric or carbon reinforcing agent, andE) from 0 to 90 parts by weight of one or more polyarylene ethers or polar group modified polyarylene ethers.
