Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition which is suitable for use in the vulcanization of the rubber. The composition is a non-aqueous water soluble polymer based composition comprising a cationic silicate component. The composition may further include a second cationic additive component which is desirable in a rubber vulcanization process. The invention further relates to a method for preparing these compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the formation of gels. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method of forming a cross-linked polymer hydrogel using competitive ligand exchange.
Abstract:
Composite particles are provided that can be used to cure epoxy resins. More particularly, the composite particles have a porous polymeric core particle, a curing agent and/or a curing catalyst for an epoxy resin positioned within the porous polymeric core particle, and a fluoropolymer-containing coating layer around the porous polymeric core particle. Additionally, curable compositions are provided that are mixtures containing an epoxy resin and the composite particles. The epoxy resin typically does not react until the curable composition is heated causing the release of the curing agent and/or curing catalyst from the composite particle. Further, cured compositions formed from the curable composition are provided.
Abstract:
An inkjet ink includes a) an aqueous medium; and b) capsules composed of a polymeric shell surrounding a core; wherein the capsules are dispersed in the aqueous medium using a dispersing group covalently bonded to the polymeric shell; the core contains one or more chemical reactants capable of forming a reaction product upon application of heat and/or infrared light; and the capsules have an average particle size smaller than 4 μm as determined by dynamic laser diffraction.
Abstract:
A microcapsule-type curable resin composition enables the mass production of microcapsules each encapsulating a curing agent and therefore can be produced at significantly low cost, and which has an excellent adhesion property and excellent storage stability. Particularly, a microcapsule-type curable resin composition can exhibit excellent low-temperature curability and an excellent curing rate when used for a screw member such as a screw and can exhibit a significantly superior effect when used for preventing the looseness of screws. A microcapsule-type curable resin composition includes microcapsules each encapsulating (a) a compound having at least three thiol groups; (b) a substance capable of being cured by reacting with the compound having at least three thiol groups; and (c) a binder capable of adhering the microcapsules to a material of interest. The curable resin composition can be used preferably for the adhesion of a screw member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of specific organopolysilazanes as an encapsulation material for light emitting diodes (LED). The organopolysilazane polymers act as insulating filling materials and are stable over temperature and over exposure to ambient UV radiation. The encapsulating material has good thermal stability against discoloration to yellow by aging even at high temperatures which is a key factor for the long lifetime of an LED encapsulant and the LED performance.
Abstract:
A molding compound for manufacturing a fiber reinforced molded article is provided. The molding compound includes a resin composition and reinforcing fibers, with the resin composition containing an unsaturated polyester resin, a microencapsulated curing agent and a non-microencapsulated curing agent.
Abstract:
A composition may include a thermosetting resin containing a plurality of polymer nanoparticles. At least some of the polymer nanoparticles may release either a catalyst or a hardener during a resin curing process. The catalyst or hardener may alter the reaction rate of the resin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for making synthetic polyisoprene latex and synthetic polyisoprene condoms. A process for making a compounded synthetic polyisoprene latex suitable for making a latex film comprises (a) compounding a synthetic polyisoprene latex with suitable compounding ingredients, (b) maturing the latex and optionally (c) storing the latex; characterized in that steps (a), (b) and (c) if included are carried out at a low temperature so as to minimize prevulcanization of the latex. Condoms can be made from latexes produced according to the process of the invention.
Abstract:
One- and two-part spray non-isocyanate foams that include an amide-based oligomer containing pendant carboxylic acid and a polyfunctional aziridine crosslinking agent is provided. The amide oligomer typically contains urea links, urethane links or both groups. Additionally, the foams may include one or more plasticizer, a non-functionalized resin, a surfactant, and/or a thickening agent or rheology modifier. The amide oligomer does not contain any isocyanate groups, and, as a result, there are no free isocyanate moieties generated during formation of the foam that may be potentially hazardous to workers installing the foam. The presence of the urethane segments on the oligomer permits for the generation of a polyurethane foam without the drawbacks of conventional polyurethane foams. The foams may be used to fill cavities, cracks, gaps and crevices, such as around windows and doors, and may also be used in flash and batt systems.
