Polymers as fillers

C. Liu and S.T. Wilson, Mixed matrix membranes incorporating mi-croporous polymers as fillers, US Patent 7410525, assigned to UOP LLC (Des Plaines, IL), August 12,2008. 

Shaped articles, e.g. rods, fibers and films, which are electrically conductive, can be produced from composite materials containing a nonconductive flexible chain-carrier polymer and an electrically conductive polymer [e.g. 3-octylPT, 3-dodecylPT or poly(2,5-thiophenediyl vinylene)] [43, 44]. Electrically conductive fibers can manufactured from polyesters blended with PT [45]. Electrically conductive resin adhesives, that are heat, stock and moisture resistant, contain bifunctional epoxy methacrylates as adhesives and solders together with conductive polymers as filler materials (e.g. 3-dodecylPT, 3-octadecylPT) [46, 47].
