Integrated chemical processes for industrial utilization of seed oils
Zenon Lysenko,Bob R. Maughon,Jozef Bicerano,Kenneth A. Burdett,Christopher P. Christenson,Clark H. Cummins,Marvin L. Dettloff,John Michael Maher,Alan K. Schrock,P.J. Thomas,Richard D. Varjian,Jerry E. White +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated process of preparing industrial chemicals starting from seed oil feedstock compositions containing one or more unsaturated fatty acids or unsaturated acid esters, which are essentially free of metathesis catalyst poisons, particularly hydroperoxides, was described.
Patent
Energy absorbing articles of extruded thermoplastic foams
TL;DR: In this article, an energy absorbing article having a direction in which impact resistance is desired is formed of extruded thermoplastic foam, which exhibits anisotropic compressive strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical modeling of the relationship between Young's modulus and formulation variables for segmented polyurethanes
Valeriy V. Ginzburg,Jozef Bicerano,Christopher P. Christenson,Alan K. Schrock,Alexander Z. Patashinski +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new modeling approach was proposed to predict Young's modulus of segmented polyurethanes based on block copolymers, which combines micromechanical models with thermodynamic considerations.
Patent
Catalytic devices and method of making said devices
Sten A. Wallin,Christopher P. Christenson,David West,Martin C. Cornell,Zoran R. Jovanovic,Henri J. M. Gruenbauer +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a catalytic device comprised of a catalyst support of fused ceramic grains and a catalyst that is surface bound to at least a portion of the ceramic grains, incorporated into at least some of the grains or combinations thereof, wherein the grains and catalyst form a surface structure that has a box counting dimension of greater than 1.00 or the box counting dimensions has at least one step change when measured from a box size "d" of at least about 1 micrometer to at most about 1 millimeter.
