  • Patent number: 12098262
    Abstract: A method for isolating plastic products produced by polymerization of resin with proton beams is disclosed. The method comprises a liquid resin added with a reactive dye that changes from transparent or colorless to color when activated by the proton beam or the chemical polymerization process to reveal polymerization within a polymerizable resin. The change in color is correlated to the energy delivered to the resin by a proton beam, electromagnetic radiation, or heat. The reactive dye is placed into a plastic container. The proton beam is directed into the container to polymerize the resin. When irradiation is complete, the container of frozen resin is opened at the top and bottom and placed on top of the column of water containing a density gradient provided by dissolved salt. The partially cured product is fully cured while suspended in the density gradient by application of heat or ultraviolet radiation.

  • Patent number: 12098295
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymodal polymer composition having homogeneous as well as heterogeneous particles formed by radical emulsion polymerization of monomers from category A which forms homopolymers with Tg above 15° C. and monomers from category B which forms homopolymers with Tg below ?15° C. The polymer composition is composed of at least two different populations of particles, differing in mean particle size value by at least a factor of 2. Thus, the two different populations of polymer particles in the polymer composition differ with respect to size and monomer composition of the particles.

  • Patent number: 12098298
    Abstract: A method of sealing surface imperfections on a sanded surface of a repair to a vehicle body is provided that includes an uncured layer of a formulation being applied to sanded cured body filler on the vehicle body. The formulation includes a polyester resin, a crosslinking agent, a solvent, and a particulate filler. The uncured layer is exposed to actinic radiation to induce cure of the uncured layer to form a sealing coating. The resulting seal coating has able to seal surface imperfections. A surface imperfection sealing formulation is also provided that includes a polyester resin and a multifunctional crosslinking agent. A solvent is provided. A photoinitiator renders the formulation curable upon exposure to ultraviolet light exposure. A particulate filler is also present in an amount to result in a formulation with an uncured viscosity of between 2600 and 3000 centipoises.
