Patent number: 7662880Abstract: Polyester compositions are disclosed that include polyester polymers or copolymers having incorporated therein metallic nickel particles that improve the reheat properties of the compositions. Processes for making such compositions are also disclosed. The nickel particles may be incorporated in the polyester by melt compounding, or may be added at any stage of the polymerization, such as during the melt-phase of the polymerization. A range of particle sizes may be used, as well as a range of particle size distributions. The polyester compositions are suitable for use in packaging made from processes in which a reheat step is desirable.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Zhiyong Xia, Donna Rice Quillen

Publication number: 20100035006Abstract: An elongated product is formed such that first a core is formed, the outer surface of the core being made of plastic. Thereafter, a tubular metal layer is extruded such that the layer is seamless. When the metal layer is extruded, a clearance is allowed between the metal layer and the core. After the metal layer has cooled, the diameter of the metal layer is reduced such that the metal layer contacts the plastic core. Thereafter, the metal is annealed such that the flexibility of the metal layer increases.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2007Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: UPNOR INNOVATION ABInventors: Jyri Järvenkylä, Franz-Josef Riesselmann, Ralf Winterstein, Reinhold Freermann, Lars Hoving

Patent number: 7651750Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a hollow tube, wherein the tube has a structural layer and a shield layer. The shield layer forms an inner surface of the tube. In some embodiments of the method, a coating, which forms the shield layer, is applied to a wash-out mandrel. The coating typically comprises a metal and/or a ceramic. A composite material, which in some embodiments is filamentous, is applied to (e.g., wound around, etc.) the coating to form the structural layer. In some embodiments, an optional transitional layer is applied to the coating before applying the composite material to enhance their compatibility. The various layers are cured, and then the mandrel is washed away to create the hollow or bore of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventor: Mark R. Alberding
