Patent number: 8329797Abstract: Power cables that comprise a sheath layer, e.g., an insulation layer, are produced from a mixture of a high pressure polyolefin free of silane functionality, e.g., high pressure low density polyethylene, and a polyether polyol of which at least 50 percent of its molecules comprise no more than a single hydroxyl functionality. Preferably, the power cable is a medium or high voltage power cable, and the polyolefin is crosslinked as the sheath layer is fabricated and/or subsequent to the fabrication of the sheath layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Robert F. Eaton, Paul J. Caronia

Patent number: 8329780Abstract: Provided are an encapsulated colorant including a polymer resin and a colorant coated with the polymer resin, wherein the encapsulated colorant includes at least two types of colorants which have different average particle diameters with different distributions. The encapsulated colorant has two types of colorants which have different average particle diameters with different distributions. In the preparation of an encapsulated colorant, a supplementary colorant is added to the preparation of an initially added colorant after a specific period of time. Thus, a polymer resin growing on the colorants has a different size. Thus, the present general inventive concept provides an encapsulated colorant having at least two average particle diameters with different distributions and has beneficial miscibility since the colorants are coated with a polymer resin.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jong-in Lee

Patent number: 8323525Abstract: A resin containing a liquid pigment dispersion is disclosed. The dispersion comprises a pigment dispersed in a blend of two or more active hydrogen-containing materials that together have a freezing point that is room temperature or below. The pigment remains dispersed in the blend, even if the dispersion is subjected to freezing and thawing. A curative blend comprising at least two active hydrogen-containing materials, which is liquid at room temperature, is also disclosed. The dispersions and curative blends of the present invention can be solvent-free. Resins and prepolymers comprising the curative blends of the invention, either pigmented or unpigmented, are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Kelly J. Gasper, Constantine A. Kondos

Patent number: RE44145Abstract: A method for preparing hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) compositions is provided, wherein the method enables preparation of adhesives having a particular, optimized degree of adhesion. That is, the hydrophilic PSA is comprised of a hydrophilic polymer and a complementary short-chain plasticizing agent, wherein the hydrophilic polymer and plasticizing agent are capable of hydrogen bonding or electrostatic bonding to each other and are present in a ratio that optimizes key characteristics of the adhesive composition, such as adhesive strength, cohesive strength and hydrophilicity. The adhesive is useful in a wide variety of contexts, e.g., as a biomedical adhesive for application to the skin or other body surface, and as such finds utility in the areas of drug delivery systems (e.g., topical, transdermal, transmucosal, iontophoretic), medical skin coverings and wound healing products and biomedical electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2005Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignees: A.V.
