Latest Patents
David A. Valia holds a patent for a "Method of preparing rigid rod polymers in thermoplastic matrices." This invention involves a high-strength synthetic resin-based structural material that is created by uniformly mixing a polymer with coil-like molecules with a second polymer that has rigid rod-like molecules. The process includes dissolving a thermoplastic matrix polymer in a suitable solvent, adding thermosetting polymer reactants to form a prepolymer, and partially cyclizing the rigid rod prepolymer to reduce chain conformations. The final product results in a high-strength structure that effectively blends rigid rod-like molecules with matrix coil-like molecules. He has 1 patent to his name.
