Title:		Benign Process for Creating Micro-Porous Polymer
Inventor:		H. Henning Winter and Griffin Gappert
Summary:		A novel and environmentally benign process for creating open-pore structures in a variety of polymers. The zero-emission process is applied to create tailored pore size distributions during or after processing (extrusion, injection molding, blow molding) for a wide variety of geometries (film, fibers, molded parts) while preserving the overall shape of the polymer. The process is easily scaled-up.
