Abstract:
Compounds are prepared which contain both an organosiloxane moiety and either a phenolic hydroxyl group or an epoxide group. Also disclosed are curable and cured compositions.
Abstract:
Epoxy resins have been reacted with a copolymer of a diunsaturated aliphatic compound and acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile and a siloxane-containing polymer resulting in a rubber modified epoxy resin suitable for use in electrical and electronic component encapsulation formulations which provide such components with improved thermal shock performance. The rubber modified epoxy resins have improved flexural properties with minimal reduction in glass transition temperature.
Abstract:
Adducts of metabrominated monophenols such as 3,5-dibromo-2,4,6-trimethylphenol and multifunctional epoxides such as cresol-formaldehyde epoxy novolac resins are disclosed to be useful in formulations for encapsulating electronic components.
Abstract:
Halogenated aromatic epoxy resins are disclosed wherein the halogen atoms are in the meta position with respect to a glycidyl ether group attached to an aromatic ring.Advanced epoxy resins are disclosed which result from the reaction of a relatively low molecular weight epoxy resin and a polyhydric phenol wherein at least one of the reactants contains at least one halogen atom which is meta with respect to a glycidyl ether group or a hydroxyl group attached to an aromatic ring. These advanced epoxy resins, when cured with a suitable curing agent, possess an improvement as compared to an advanced epoxy resin containing halogen atoms which are ortho with respect to a glycidyl ether group in at least one of thermal stability, glass transition temperature, relationship of viscosity to molecular weight and resistance to forming hydrolyzed halides in the presence of a refluxing solution of an alkali metal hydroxide.
Abstract:
Unwanted halogen values are removed from liquid resin, organic or hydrocarbon material by adding particulate crystalline lithium aluminate compounds to the liquid material to act as a halogen scavenger, then separating the crystalline aluminate compound from the liquid material.
Abstract:
A process for the dehydrohalogenation of a (polyhaloalkyl)benzene containing a benzylic halogen such as 1,3-dichloro-5-(2,4,4,4-tetrachlorobutyl)-benzene by contacting the (polyhaloalkyl)benzene with a Lewis acid such as AlCl.sub.3 deposited on an inert support such as silica gel or alumina under conditions sufficient to catalyze said dehydrohalogenation to form a (polyhaloalkenyl)benzene such as 3,5-dichloro-.alpha.-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)styrene.
