Title: The Innovative Contributions of Martha Jean Collins
Introduction
Martha Jean Collins is a notable inventor based in Blountville, TN (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of polymer chemistry, particularly in the development of water-based coating and adhesive compositions. With a total of 13 patents, her work has had a substantial impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents focuses on the use of surfactants as plasticizers to reduce volatile organic compounds in water-based polymer coating compositions. This invention relates to an improved water-based polymer coating composition that includes a polymer resin, water, and surfactant. The innovative aspect of this composition is the presence of an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant in an effective amount to plasticize the coating formed from the composition. Additionally, this formulation is substantially free from cosolvents, enhancing its environmental profile. Another significant patent involves adhesive compositions containing stable amino-containing polymer latex blends. This invention provides a composition, preparation, and end-use of waterborne crosslinking technology-based compositions made from water-based latexes. The resulting latexes contain dispersed, waterborne amino-functional polymer particles and acetoacetoxy-functional polymer particles, which create stable emulsions that undergo crosslinking upon film formation.
