Title: George F. Nicholas: Inventor of Advanced Foam Treatments.
Introduction
George F. Nicholas is an inventor associated with Marysville, Washington, and The Boeing Company. His patent work includes methods for improving the fire resistance and water- or oil-repelling properties of foam materials. He holds 3 patents.
Latest Patents
“Flame Propagation Resistant Foam and Method” describes a process for treating foam with a flame-retardant solution containing an organic phosphate ester in water. The foam is immersed in the solution and then cured under specified temperature and time conditions to help resist flame propagation.
“Hydrophobic and/or Oleophobic Open Cell Polyimide Acoustic and Thermal Insulation Foams and Methods of Making” concerns treating open-cell polyimide foam so its interior surfaces repel water or oil. The method distributes a treatment chemical across at least part of the foam’s interior surface, producing treated foam suitable for acoustic and thermal insulation applications.
