Patent number: 8188185Abstract: A biodegradable packaging film is provided. The film is formed from a blend that contains a thermoplastic starch and polylactic acid. Starch is a relatively inexpensive natural polymer that is also renewable and biodegradable. Polylactic acid is likewise an inexpensive synthetic polymer that is biodegradable and renewable, yet also capable of providing increased tensile strength to the film. Although providing a good combination of biodegradability/renewability and increased tensile strength, the polylactic acid is also relatively rigid and can result in films having a relatively high stiffness (e.g., high modulus of elasticity) and low ductility. While more ductile than polylactic acid, the thermoplastic starch is often difficult to melt process in film forming processes and very sensitive to moisture and water vapor, reducing its ability to be used as a stand alone packaging film.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: James H.

Publication number: 20120083568Abstract: A series of low, medium, and high molecular weight copolymers containing methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate. 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate were synthesized by solution polymerization under monomer-starved conditions. The copolymers were crosslinked with a methylated melamine formaldehyde resin in order to obtain thermosetting acrylics. Lower wettability, higher oxygen permeability, and lower refractive index were observed for higher concentrations of fluorinated monomer in the copolymer composition and high number-average hydroxyl functionality of the high molecular weight copolymers increased the crosslink density of the acrylic films, thereby resulting in improved tensile strength and tensile modulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., University of Akron, Toyota Motor CorporationInventors: Mark D.

Patent number: 8148457Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive composition whose component is a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer composition containing styrene, a (meth)acrylic acid ester having a cyclic structure, and an alkyl(meth)acrylate having a chain structure. The monomer composition further contains a carboxylic acid having an ethylene double bond, a bifunctional monomer, and a styrene macromonomer. The polymer has a styrene block segment. This can improve heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, alkaline resistance, and easiness in stripping of an adhesive composition that has been subjected to a high temperature process. As a result, there can be obtained an adhesive composition which has high heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, and alkali resistance, and which can be easily stripped off after the adhesive composition is processed at a high temperature.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Tokyo Ohta Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Asai, Koichi Misumi, Atsushi Miyanari, Yoshihiro Inao, Akihiko Nakamura

Patent number: 8138250Abstract: Waxes prepared from hydrogenated plant oils, such as castor and soybean, are formulated into aqueous ink and paper coating compositions. Ink compositions comprising these waxes and evaluated for their resistance to mar and abrasion achieved rub resistance and slip performance comparable to compositions utilizing conventional wax additives, which are generally derived from petroleum. The waxes in the inventive compositions have a low iodine value (ranging from approximately 2 to approximately 5), and a melting point between approximately 120 degrees to approximately 190 degrees F. (Mettler Drop Point). These naturally derived waxes are used as an alternative to petroleum and synthetically derived waxes in the manufacture of inks and coatings for paper and cellulosic products.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: H R D CorporationInventors: Aziz Hassan, Gregory Borsinger
