20090326134 | NANOCOMPOSITE COMPRISING EXFOLIATED NANOCLAY-STYRENIC CONCENTRATE AND METHODS OF PREPARATION - A composition is disclosed comprising a styrenic first polymer, nanoclay, and an emulsifier compound, which can be blended with an additional polymer. A nanocomposite exhibits improved heat resistant properties and stiffness. In one embodiment, the additional polymer is poly(phenylene ether). An article and a method for the preparation a nanocomposite are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the process of obtaining a nanocomposite comprises emulsion polymerizing styrenic monomers in the presence of an aqueous dispersion of nanoclay and emulsifier compound, wherein an aqueous mixed dispersion comprising styrenic polymer and nanoclay is formed; coagulating the aqueous mixed dispersion with a coagulating agent to form a coagulated mixed dispersion comprising nanoclay and styrenic polymer; solidifying the coagulated mixed dispersion to form a polymeric clay concentrate comprising the nanoclay and the styrenic polymer as a carrier resin; and mixing the polymeric nanoclay concentrate, directly or indirectly with an additional polymer to form a nanocomposite. | 12-31-2009 |

20090214868 | CORE-SHELL PARTICLE, METHOD, AND COMPOSITION - A core-shell particle is formed by a method that includes forming a crosslinked polyorganosiloxane core, reacting a graftlinking agent with the crosslinked polyorganosiloxane core, and polymerizing a poly(alkenyl aromatic) shell around the graftlinking agent-functionalized polyorganosiloxane core. The method produces a core-shell particle with improved adhesion between shell and core. The core-shell particle is useful as an impact modifier in thermoplastic compositions. | 08-27-2009 |
20100093915 | IMPACT-MODIFIED MOLDING COMPOSITION AND METHOD - A method is disclosed for preparing an acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) resin, which comprises the steps of: (a) polymerizing a mixture comprising at least one acrylate monomer and at least one polyethylenically unsaturated monomer to form a rubber substrate, followed by (b) polymerizing a mixture of monomers in the presence of the rubber substrate, at least one of which monomers is selected from the group consisting of vinyl aromatic monomers and at least one of which monomers is selected from the group consisting of monoethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomers, and optionally followed by (c) polymerizing one or more monomers in at least one subsequent stage in the presence of the rubber substrate from (b), wherein the one or more monomers comprise at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of (C | 04-15-2010 |

20130018576 | System and Method for Field SamplingAANM Berzinis; MichaelAACI TallahasseeAAST FLAACO USAAGP Berzinis; Michael Tallahassee FL USAANM Milligan; MarkAACI TallahasseeAAST FLAACO USAAGP Milligan; Mark Tallahassee FL US - The field sampling method provides a mobile device, a central memory and a data transfer interface. The mobile device has a main storage, which contains GPS receiver, a mapping program, an external TSP algorithm program and at least one database. The mapping program displays a plurality of sampling point on the user interface of the mobile device. The user has the ability to select a set of sampling points on the user interface. The sampling points are written to a first database. The selected sampling points are processed by the external TSP algorithm program to determine an optimal route. The external TSP algorithm program sends the optimal route to the mapping program. The mapping program displays the optimal route on the screen of the mobile device such that the user can visit points and collect sampling data. | 01-17-2013 |
