Publication number: 20140060383Abstract: The invention is directed to thermoplastics derived from feathers. The thermoplastics are prepared by blending whole feathers or portions thereof with a plasticizer in an amount ranging from about 20 wt to about 40 wt % and a reducing agent in an amount ranging from about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % to form a mixture; and either extruding the mixture to form an article, or pressing the mixture into a film at an elevated temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: THE GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTAInventors: Jianping WU, Aman ULLAH, David BRESSLER

Publication number: 20140011610Abstract: Biodegradable materials and methods of their manufacture. Certain embodiments of the biodegradable materials include a crustacean shell material, at least one of gelatin, glycerin, and sorbitol, and water, wherein the biodegradable material is characterized in that, when it is exposed to water for an extended period of time, the material at least partially decomposes. Particular embodiments may comprise additional components including sorbitol and glycerin in the case of biodegradable golf ball embodiments, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Inventors: Alexander G. Caddell, Carin Poeschel Orr, David J. Neivandt

Publication number: 20130206336Abstract: A dried distiller soluble based bioadhesive composition and method for producing the dried distiller soluble based bioadhesives are disclosed, as well as derivatives thereof. The produced dried distillers solubles derives from co-products of corn fermentation facilities, and is advantageously comprised in part of water-soluble proteins. The method for producing the dried distillers solubles generally involves separation and/or introduction of targeted constituents and/or physiochemical treatment to facilitate use as an adhesive. Use of the method and bioadhesive compositions disclosed herein will improve the economics of fermentation by increasing co-product value, reducing plant-wide energy utilization, decreasing waste and emissions, and increasing overall product yield from each bushel of corn consumed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2013Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: GS CLEANTECH CORPORATIONInventor: GS Cleantech Corporation

Publication number: 20100311025Abstract: A gel formulation for use as simulated tissue for ballistic testing includes a mixture of gelatin, a glycol, such as ethylene glycol, and water. The gel may be formed in a mold to simulate a body part, such as an organ. A ratio of gelatin to glycol may be varied, depending on the body part to be simulated. An anatomic model may be formed by incorporating simulated organs formed with different gelatin to glycol ratios.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2009Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant: The Government of the US, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Richard K. Everett
