Latest Patents

One of her latest patents is titled "Extrusion apparatus having a driven feed segment." This invention features an extrusion apparatus that includes a driven feed segment, which is rotatably driven about a central mandrel or within a housing member. The rotation of the driven feed segment subjects one or more streams of resin introduced onto its surface to transverse shear during radial flow. This design allows for the assembly of one or more driven feed segments with other components of conventional extrusion die assemblies. The extrusion die assemblies can include driven feed segments that rotate in the same or opposite directions, enabling precise control over the number of resin streams and the rotational speed to produce microlayered film with over 4000 layers.

Another notable patent is the "Apparatus and method for extruding a multilayered structure." This invention employs a shearing rod connected to the end of an extruder screw. The shearing rod rotates along with the extruder screw, shearing the polymer materials advanced along an annular space between the shearing rod and the inner surface of a bore in a housing. A first melt stream of polymer material is advanced by the extruder screw into the annular space, while a second melt stream is fed through a passage in the housing to join with the first melt stream. The rotation of the shearing rod effectively shears and swirls the melt streams together, producing a multiplicity of layers of polymer materials.
