… With regard to terpene-based polyamides, terpene-based lactams for ROP are
very interesting building blocks [185, 186]. For instance, polyamides derived from L-Menthone
and from β-Pinene have been described (Scheme 10) [187,188,189,190,191,192,193] …

Emulsion concentrates of lipophilic compounds
United States Patent 11369108 B2 · Filed: 12/19/2016 · Published: 06/28/2022
Assignee:
Bayer CropScience Aktiengesellschaft (Monheim am Rhein, DE)
Inventors:
Peris, Gorka (Cologne, DE)
The present invention relates to new, solvent-based emulsifiable concentrates of agrochemical active compounds, a process for the preparation of these formulations and their use for the application of the active compounds contained. The focus is on terpenes. Some of the elements of this invention are being practiced commercially right now. The companies practicing their technologies however are keeping their technology under wraps. This makes it very difficult for potential rivals to develop their own technology. However, there are opportunities for new inventions. You just have to know where to look. This technology could (and probably does) have much more potential than the marketplace realizes.
Rubber composition for tires, and pneumatic tires

This is a European patent application, which might or might not be granted. It makes a fine disctinction between terms like “carrier”, “diluent” etc and “delivery system that enhances performance”. There are many products on the market which could easily be described by terminology in this application. What it does do is provide a lot of ideas for new products based on rosin chemistry. We shall see.
