- *Abstract
-
Reaction condition produce dimmer of propylene glycol and are believe to be effective for forming dimmer and mixed-dimers with ethylene glycol as will have slightly larger oligomers.POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• May be useful to produce a range of industrial polyglycolsMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Renewable and non-petroleum-based feed stocks produce the dimer• Estimated production costs are about $0.30/lb with market prices of >$1.00 per poundPOSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• NoneSTATE OF DEVELOPMENT: • Demonstrated at pilot scale. Repeatability of results yet to be performed. System is believed to be far from optimal.FURTHER R&D REQUIRED: • Validate repeatability, produce quart quantities, optimize, and then market development productionLICENSING POTENTIAL: • University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializePATENT STATUS: • Patent application is plannedINVENTOR(S): Galen SuppesCONTACT INFO: Office of Technology Management & Industrial Relations Wayne C.
