Introduction
Shoji Kimura is a notable inventor based in Machida, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of enzyme compositions and elastomers. With a total of 3 patents, his work has had a considerable impact on industrial applications.
Latest Patents
One of Kimura's latest patents is a process for producing immobilized enzyme compositions. This innovative method involves reacting an enzyme and/or enzyme-containing microorganism cells with an anion-exchange high molecular substance that contains a quaternary pyridine ring. The reaction products are then molded and dried in a molding machine. A polyfunctional crosslinking agent may be added at any stage of the process. The immobilized enzyme compositions prepared through this method can be packed in a reactor of industrial scale for continuous enzyme reactions.
Another significant patent is related to a polychloroprene elastomer. This process discloses the preparation of a polycloroprene elastomer consisting of a blend of toluene-insoluble gel polymer and toluene-soluble sol polymer. The gel polymer is prepared by polymerizing chloroprene or a mixture of chloroprene with a small amount of at least one copolymerizable monomer in the presence of a suitable cross-linking agent. The resulting elastomer is improved by polymerizing the toluene-insoluble gel polymer to a cross-linking density of at least 2.4 × 10^-6 to a monomer conversion of at least 80%.
