Disclosure of New Aqueous Cationic Polymerization Systems
Dr. Lewis recently invented another new method for the aqueous carbocationic polymerization of monomers. This is his second contribution to this unique form of polymerization having invented the only other known system capable of polymerizing isobutene under aqueous conditions. Please see the
following document 
for more information.
Second Book Chapter
Professor Robert T. Mathers and Dr. Lewis have recently constructed a new book chapter covering advances in the cationic olefin polymerization field. Dr. Lewis' section provides the most comprehensive and concise review of developments made in the field relating to polymerization of isobutene. The book chapter will be in print soon and updates will be provided when it goes into print.
First Book Chapter in Print
A book chapter coauthored by Dr. Lewis and Professor Mathers entitled "Monoterpenes as Polymerization Solvents and Monomers in Polymer Chemistry" has recently been published in "Green Polymerization Methods". This book chapter provides a comprehensive review methodologies used for preparation of terpenic resins as well as application of terpenes as renewable solvents for polymerization of α-olefins.
Perfluoroarylated Lewis acids
Innovative science Corp. will resume manufacturing polymerization activators on a very limited scale for interested polyolefin manufacturers that have previous requests. Overrun compounds will sold to interested researchers and a posting will be made under the recent news section when they are available.
Innovative Science Closing All Open Military Projects For Hire
Innovative Science will be closing all open military application projects for hire. As of February 2011 our focus will be strictly on commercial polymer projects. Please note that a number of projects under the investment section have already been secured. One of these projects has generated a number of new methods of manufacture for IB polymers, one yielding MWs 1.5 times that of gamma radiation! These technologies will eventually be disclosed publicly. Dr. Lewis is in the process of co-authoring another book chapter and details will be forthcoming. Finally, we have invented a new form of aqueous carbocationic olefin polymerization. This will be publically disclosed prior to 2012.
Dr. Lewis' Contributions to the Cationic Polymerization Field
- Invented the only known aqueous polymerization system for isobutylene.
- Discovered that sterically hindered pyridines are capable of reacting with carbocations when paired with weakly coordinating anions.
- Suggested important revisions to the complex counteranion theory.
- Recently invented a highly active heterogeneous polymerization system for isobutylene polymers that overcomes limitations inherent in previously developed polymerization systems.*
- Gathered evidence of initiation by silylium ions generated by non-metathesis chemistry.*
* To be published.
Book Chapter
Recently Dr. Lewis coauthored a book chapter on green polymerizations involving the use of terpenes with Professor Robert T. Mathers. It will appear in a book entitled Green Polymerization Methods: Renewable Starting Materials, Catalysis and Waste Reduction. Dr. Lewis’ section focuses on cationic polymerization of terpenic monomers and deciphers much of the data present in the scientific and patent literature on this topic.
Isobutylene Polymerization Results to be Published
Initial results for a new green polymerization system with commercial utility that our research group has devised will be published in a scientific peer reviewed journal following submission of revisions. Once accepted an updated posting will be made on this website.
New Research Study
Mr. Qian Liu recently began an apprenticeship with Innovative Science Corporation. Mr. Liu holds a BS degree in Polymer Science from Wuhan University of Technology. Currently he is studying cationic polymerization of alkenes and air sensitive manipulations and will return to China following the conclusion of his projects to pursue an advanced degree in polymer science.
Public Disclosure of New Sporting Ammunition
Innovative Science Corporation publically discloses novel polymer tipped, saboted ammunition for use in sporting applications.

Recently Innovative Science Corporation began preliminary testing of a new type of centerfire ammunition. Initial tests indicate that our design provides for much higher velocities than those currently available today. This new form of ammunition will provide greater penetration and flatter trajectories than currently available for all forms of standard ammunition. Please check our site frequently for future updates.

Preliminary Data: High Temperature Polymerization of Isobutylene
Recently Innovative Science Corporation devised a series of polymerization systems that yield high MW isobutylene based polymers at high reaction temperatures. Initial data (Table 1) indicates that one of the recently developed polymerization systems is capable of producing high molecular polymers at 0°C. Additional systems appear to be capable of producing high molecular weight polymers at ambient reaction temperatures. Further updates will be made as data becomes available.
Catalyst Component Sales on Hold
Dear Customer:
We regret that at the present moment we must suspend sales of catalyst components during August 2008. Our Innovative Technology dry box has been experiencing numerous mechanical difficulties that prevent us from offering air sensitive compounds at this moment. We expect to resume sales of these compounds in the September to October 2008 time frame. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
New Polymerization System Update
Innovative Science, Inc. is currently developing a cost effective yet environmentally friendly method for making commercially important isobutylene containing polymers.

Innovative Science, Inc. now has a patent in the pending stage covering new compositions of matter (perfluoroarylated Lewis acids) and new methods of manufacture.
New Small Arms Ammunition
Innovative Science, Inc. is in the process of developing a new type of centerfire ammunition. Please go to the investment opportunities section to read more.
Summer Intern
Innovative Science, Inc. was delighted to have Mr. Chao Kuo serve as an intern during the summer of 2007. Mr. Kuo is a native of Wu Han, China and is currently studying Environmental Science. While serving as an intern Mr. Kuo learned a number of techniques ranging from general methods of purification (e.g. recrystallization) to complex manipulations (e.g. Schlenk techniques).
Delays in Product Inventory
Due to recent problems related to key pieces of laboratory equipment inventory of a number of our products will be severally limited. This situation will change when the OEM ships items currently on backorder sometime during the November 2007 timeframe.
