US Patent Issued on April 7 for "Antiferromagnetic strain recovery induced photon pulse initiating bond cleavage in cross-linked rubber structures" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 7 -- United States Patent no. 12,595,349, issued on April 7.

"Antiferromagnetic strain recovery induced photon pulse initiating bond cleavage in cross-linked rubber structures" was invented by William B. Coe (Wrightwood, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Crumb rubber obtained from recycled tires is subjected to a process involving photodissociation to break a sulfur bond, sulfur-sulfur and/or sulfur-carbon bonds. The process utilizes a component that generates photonic energy upon being subjected to a compressing force (e.g., pressure). The photonic energy is bandwidth resonant with the sulfur-sulfur and/or sulfur-carbon bond, causing the bond to break apart. The re...
