摘要:
A process for the production of high-performance ceramics and ceramic precursors is disclosed which comprises reacting an organometallic precursor with a reactant in a supercritical fluid and exposing the organometallic product to a ceramic material. A critical temperature (or pressure) is required to produce the supercritical fluid which is the maximum temperature (or pressure) at which a gas or vapor may be liquified by the application of a critical pressure (or temperature). Nitrogen-containing ceramics such as nitrides, oxynitrides and carbonnitrides, and carbide ceramics are produced by reacting precursors such as alkyl halosilanes and dialkyl silanes in the presence of a supercritical fluid such as nitrogen, hydrogen, ammonia and mixtures thereof for the nitrogen-containing ceramics and in the presence of hydrocarbons, hydrogen or mixtures thereof for the carbide ceramics. The high performance ceramics produced find particular application in the automobile industry.
摘要:
Des particules pré-expansées de résines thermoplastiques synthétiques expansibles (26) telles que des particules de résine thermoplastique expansée légèrement reticulée (26) sont exposées à un agent porogène gazeux tel que l'air ou du diclorodifluorométhane qui est un nonsolvant pour la résine, afin de provoquer la diffusion de l'agent porogène dans les particules et de leur permettre d'être à nouveau expansibles lors du chauffage. Les particules (26), après addition de l'agent porogène, sont alors introduites dans un empreinte de moule (23) chauffable de manière à la remplir imparfaitement et un gaz chauffé tel que de l'air chauffé est injecté généralement dans la partie centrale de l'empreinte du moule (23) au moyen d'une sonde rétractible (42) pour permettre un nouveau moussage des particules et leur fusion en un produit unitaire. Lors du retrait de la sonde (42), au moins une partie importante des surfaces (25) de l'empreinte du moule est chauffée pour obtenir un produit de faible densité ayant une surface lisse. Ce procédé permet de courtes durées de cycle.

摘要:
Prefoamed expandable synthetic thermoplastic resins particles (26) such as lightly cross-linked foamed thermoplastic resin particles (26) are exposed to a gaseous expanding agent such as air or dichlorodifluoromethane which is a nonsolvent for the resin to cause expanding agent to diffuse into the particles and enable them to be further expandable upon heating. The particles (26) with the added expanding agent are then introduced into a heatable mold cavity (23) to loosely fill the mold cavity (23) and a heated gas such as heated air is injected generally into the central portion of the mold cavity (23) by means of a retractable probe (42) to further foam the particles and coalesce them into a unitary product. Upon withdrawal of the probe (42) at least a major portion of the mold cavity surfaces (25) are heated to produce a low density product having a smooth surface. Rapid cycle times are achieved with the process.
