Title: Jerry Alan Bodi: Innovator in Phosphorescent Plastics
Introduction
Jerry Alan Bodi is a notable inventor based in Suwanee, GA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of phosphorescent plastic compositions, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative work focuses on creating materials that exhibit unique luminescent properties.
Latest Patents
One of Jerry's latest patents is for "Daylight/nightglow colored phosphorescent plastic compositions and articles." This invention provides compositions and molded, extruded, or formed phosphorescent plastic articles that contain non-radioactive, non-sulfide phosphorescent phosphor pigments. These pigments emit light in the visible spectrum, particularly metal oxide aluminate:europium-activated phosphorescent phosphor pigments. The compositions result in plastic articles that display a rich, attractive fluorescent daylight color and a strong, long-lasting glow-in-the-dark luminescence.
Another significant patent is for "Laser marking of phosphorescent plastic articles." This invention involves molded, extruded, or formed phosphorescent plastic articles that feature laser-marked indicia. The indicia can be seen as a contrast against a phosphorescent background or may themselves be phosphorescent. The composition includes a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin, phosphorescent phosphor pigment, and a laser energy absorbing additive, enhancing the quality and contrast of the laser mark.
