Patent number: 5580950Abstract: A class of soluble polymers having a rigid rod backbone, which when used to cast films, undergo a self-orientation process whereby the polymer backbone becomes more or less aligned parallel to the film surface. This in-plane orientation results in a film that displays negative birefringence. The degree of in-plane orientation and thus, the magnitude of the negative birefringence is controlled by varying the backbone linearity and rigidity of the class of polymers which includes polyesters, polyamides, poly(amide-imides) and poly(ester-imides) through selection of substituents in the polymer backbone chain. By increasing the polymer backbone linearity and rigidity, the degree of in-plane orientation and associated negative birefringence can be increased, and that conversely, by decreasing the polymer backbone linearity and rigidity, the negative birefringence can be decreased.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1994Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: The University of AkronInventors: Frank W.

Patent number: 5500212Abstract: New bile acid sequestrant polymer compositions and a process for preparing the polymers in particulate form, preferably in spherical form, are described. The polymer particles are prepared by crosslinking an amine-containing polymer with an amount of a polyfunctional amine-reactive compound sufficient to crosslink the polymer so that it is essentially water insoluble and has bile acid sequestering efficacy greater than that of cholestyramine, preferably greater than about three times the efficacy of cholestyramine. A preferred polymerization process revolves suspension polymerization of water-soluble amine-containing monomers, such as dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate esters and dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylamides, in the presence of polyfunctional amine-reactive compounds, such as substituted dihaloalkanes. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the bile acid sequestrant polymer particles and a method for lowering blood cholesterol levels using the pharmaceutical compositions are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: March 19, 1996Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: Paul E. Bliem, Larry W. Steffier

Patent number: 5496670Abstract: A macroscopically isotropic side chain liquid crystal polymer is described containing photochromic mesogenic groups and which through irradiation with light is capable of being permanently or substantially permanently converted into an optically anisotropic phase without having been pre-oriented. The polymer is preferably a polyester between on the one hand either an aliphatic, optionally substituted, .alpha.,.omega.-dicarboxylic acid having a total chain length of up to 24 carbon atoms, or an aryl-, in particular phenyl-, carboxylic acid, and on the other hand an optionally substituted 1,3-propanediol containing the mesogenic group, or a group containing the mesogenic group, attached to the carbon in the 2-position. Furthermore, an optical storage device comprising a film of the polymer.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1993Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignees: Riso National Laboratory, Consiglio Nazionale della RichercheInventors: Soren Hvilsted, P.

Patent number: 5483016Abstract: The method of producing a binder resin has the steps of blending in advance (a) a starting material monomer mixture for two polymerization reaction types, (b) a compound which can react with both of starting material monomers for the two polymerization reaction types, and (c) a tricarboxylic or higher polycarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, the two polymerization reaction types having independent reaction paths to each other in one reaction vessel; and concurrently carrying out the two polymerization reactions in one reaction vessel to give the binder resin. According to the present invention, the binder resin which has an excellent environmental stability in the tribo electric charge and the image quality, and also has good pulverizability and transparency can be produced. Moreover, in a fixing method using a heat roller, fixing at a low temperature can be performed without using an offset inhibiting liquid.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Katsutoshi Aoki, Eizi Morimoto, Hiroyuki Kawaji, Ken-ichi Suenaga, Tetsuhiro Semura, Kuniyasu Kawabe
