摘要:
The present disclosure provides a plurality of glass bubbles having an average true density of up to about 0.55 grams per cubic centimeter and a size distribution including a median size in a range from about 15 micrometers to 40 micrometers. A hydrostatic pressure at which ten percent by volume of the plurality of glass bubbles collapses is at least about 100 megapascals. In some embodiments, the plurality of glass bubbles is a graded fraction preparable by classifying a second plurality of glass bubbles, wherein the second plurality of glass bubbles has a higher percentage of glass bubbles with a size of up to ten micrometers than the first plurality of glass bubbles. Composites including the plurality of glass bubbles are also disclosed.
摘要:
A syntactic foam and water-based explosive comprising glass microbubbles formed by heating feed having a size distribution with a span of less than 0.9 that are dispersed in a polymeric matrix or emulsion explosive. A method for making glass microbubbles, syntactic foam and water-based explosives is described.

A composition includes poly(4-methylpent-1-ene) and hollow glass microspheres. The composition has a density of less than 0.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Articles made from the composition and methods of making an article by injection molding the composition are also disclosed.
摘要:
An insulated article having a first insulation region comprising a first polymeric material and first hollow ceramic microspheres and a second insulation region comprising a second polymeric material and second hollow ceramic microspheres. The first insulation region has a thermal conductivity that is no greater than the thermal conductivity of the first polymeric material and a volumetric heat capacity in a range of 60% to 90% of the volumetric heat capacity of the first polymeric material. The second insulation region has a thermal conductivity that is no greater than 90% of the thermal conductivity of the second polymeric material and a volumetric heat capacity that is less than 60% of the volumetric heat capacity of the second polymeric material. A method for making a composition for insulating an article is also described.

摘要:
Siloxane-based pipe coatings include a hot melt processable siloxane-based elastomeric polymer, and may optionally contain fillers and additives. The siloxane-based elastomeric polymer is a urea-containing segmented copolymer or an oxamide-containing segmented copolymer. The coatings are substantially free of tackifying resins and are non-tacky and non-adhesive until heated to a temperature of at least 50 C.
