Latest Patents

Andres Sustic holds a patent for "Polyolefin blends used for non-woven applications." This invention relates to methods for preparing a fiber, thread, or yarn that includes a polymer blend of a predominantly atactic flexible polyolefin polymer. This polymer has a high weight average molecular weight of at least about 100,000 and a heat of fusion of about 15 to 60 J/g, combined with an isotactic polypropylene polymer. The resulting polymer blend is formed into a fiber, thread, or yarn, where the flexible polymer is present in an amount sufficient to increase the elasticity of the final product. This innovation is particularly useful in non-woven products, as it inhibits substantial breakage of the fibers, threads, or yarns. The invention also encompasses the composite articles that include these fibers, threads, or yarns in combination with adhesive compositions.
