Thank you Dr. Boris Zhmud,for a wonderful article on Michel Roegiers and Plasma Treatment of Oil that appears in the March issue of the UKLA-Based Lube Magazine. In the 1990s Michel was a regular at the annual meetings of NLGI, ELGI, STLE and ILMA. I had the pleasure of working with him in my biobased lube research activities. I visited his plant in Ghent. He and his lovely wife too spent a week as the guest of our University of Northern Iowa’s National Agriculture-Based Lubricants Center that I directed. Today, advances in high efficiency plasma generators allow for modification of oils as viscosity modifiers and property enhancers with lesser impact on stability. In researching our microwave-based grease processing, we learned that vegetable oils could be modified by exposure to deliberately initiated arcing and increasing viscosity without impacting oxidation stability. I believe that the Technology that Roegiers senior started in early 1900, has yet to see its full potential. I am glad Ir Michel Roegiers continues his family’s venture. As someone who has been following Elektrion and Michel Roegiers work, I truly enjoyed reading this article and encourage my friends to also check this article out. As a side note, when Michel Roegiers was visiting our research center in Iowa, I had an employee whose name was Michael Rogers, which we concluded was an Americanized version of Michel Roegiers. #biobased #biodegradable #plasma #microwave #Oxidation #viscosity

I'm thrilled about our presentation at the SPE Polyolefins Conference with Tyler Culp. Let's discuss the challenges and successful initiatives in mechanical recycling within transportation applications. What aspects would you like to focus on?

Did you know that the team at the The Vinyl Institute (VI) is working hard on domestic and international challenges to protect our industry and quality products? As we face chemical review processes, global debates on the role of plastics and increasing misinformation from activists, the VI and its members stand ready to defend the many products which are vital to our quality of life. Learn more about their efforts in this guest post by Ned Monroe, President and CEO, The Vinyl Institute. https://buff.ly/42l2iyH

Below please find Toray vs. Paknis timeline update XIII, dated 9-4-24, explaining why Toray Plastics America (TPA) and Toray International America (TIA) sued me in December 2018 and threatened my publisher with a lawsuit in June of 2019. In their suit, TPA lied and claimed a common reader could identify TPA in my book. By suing me, TPA brought their concerns public and outed themselves, accomplishing the TPA notoriety they claimed I caused with my book. Bringing their suit to the public domain, combined with changes in state and federal non-disclosure laws, allows me to discuss the case and show how TPA used the Federal Justice System to bully me.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸? I thought my grease knowledge was 'sufficient' until I came across a post by Andy Waynick, one of the world's top scientists in lubricants and fuels. https://lnkd.in/gF6xw9hA He strongly suggests that anyone who calls themselves a grease scientist must get this book: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗟𝗚𝗜 𝗟𝘂𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 Although I'm no grease scientist, I immediately bought a digital copy. Upon reading, I found a lot of information about grease I didn't know. It covers comprehensive information from a historical perspective, as well as testing, manufacturing, selection, troubleshooting, handling and dispensing, and many more. They are all useful for every lubricant professional and even end users. Andy himself wrote the first chapter. There are chapters written by Dr. Gareth Fish, David Turner and many other experts in the field. I highly recommend this book if you want to up your game on grease. #grease #nlgi

When reading about Emil Erlenmeyer’s achievements below I was struck by the fact that all of them appear obvious to me now as a chemistry graduate over a century later, and that this is a great example of how hindsight can obscure the inventiveness of a technological development. Patent attorneys frequently face objections raised by examiners who allege that an invention is obvious but often that is an unfair assessment resultsing from the examiner being unable to judge the appropriately skilled person’s knowledge at the time the invention was made. In such cases, the best response is not to narrow the scope of protection but instead to explain that the examiner is applying hindsight. Such explanations are not always successful, at least not at first, but they can help ensure a patent applicant receives a granted patent covering with claims covering the full scope of their invention. #Patents #Obviousness #Hindsight
