The invention provides a submicron magnesium hydroxide particulate composition comprising a first distribution of magnesium hydroxide particles having a D50 of no more than about 0.30 mum, a D90 of no more than about 1.5 mum, and a BET surface area of at least about 35 m2/g, which can be used as a flame-retardant additive for synthetic polymers, optionally in combination with other flame-retardant additives such as nanoclays and larger-sized magnesium hydroxide particulate compositions. Polymeric resins comprising the submicron magnesium hydroxide particles and methods of manufacturing submicron magnesium hydroxide particles are also provided.
摘要:
A load bearing deck (20) of a modular structural section (30) for use in a support structure such as a load bearing deck or highway bridge. The at least one modular structural section (30) includes at least one beam (50) and a load bearing deck (20) preferably formed of a polymer having elongate core members (46) having a polygonal shape, preferably a trapezoidal shape. Alternatively, the load bearing deck comprising at least one sandwich panel (30) is suitable for applications such as barge decks, hatchcovers, and other load bearing wall applications. Methods of constructing a support structure utilizing the modular structural section (30) including the polygonal, preferably trapezoidal core deck, and support members (22) are also provided.
摘要:
An apparatus for mixing concrete adapted to facilitate removal of hardened concrete therefrom includes a metal container (12) and a microwave energy generation device (30). The metal container (12) is adapted to contain concrete and to enable concrete placed therein to be mixed or agitated by mixing fins (26), the container (12) having inner walls (28) to which the concrete may adhere when the concrete hardens. The microwave energy generation device (30) generates microwave radiation energy into the metal container (12) and is capable of liberating water molecules from the concrete placed in the container (12) so as to weaken the chemical structure of the concrete to thereby facilitate breakage of the hardened concrete and removal of the concrete from the container (12).
摘要:
A strike face (112) for a ballistic and blast panel (110) comprises a layer of ballistic resistant material (60) secured to a mesh (40). The strike face (112) may be coupled to a fiber-reinforced polymer backing panel (14).
摘要:
A composite panel comprises composite first and second sheets, a core sandwiched between the first and second sheets, a plurality of fiber insertions extending from the first sheet through the core to the second sheet, and a utility space defined in the core between a number of the fiber insertions. A method of making the composite panel is disclosed.
摘要:
A composite structure (10) comprises a plurality of fiber insertions (12) spaced relative to one another such that the fiber insertion density is non-uniform.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for forming a lining on the interior faces (11) of a vessel (9) is disclosed. The method and apparatus involve installing a granular composition (4) into a gap (10) formed between the internal faces (11) of the vessel (9) and a mandrel (7) in a single mass. Also disclosed is a continuous lining formed using the method and apparatus of the invention.
