摘要:
The present invention is a method to make an environmentally friendly polyurethane molded article (100) comprising at least 20 percent renewable materials and molded articles made therefrom. Specifically, the method provides for molding a polyurethane coated sandwich structure (40) comprising a honey comb core (30) having fiber reinforcing layers (10, 20) to provide an environmentally friendly polyurethane molded article with a desired shape such as an automobile load floor. The polyurethane coating is derived from a polyurethane—forming mixture comprising an isocyanate component and a polyol component. Specifically, the polyol component comprises one or more natural oil based polyol, preferably comprising at least one of a hydroxymethylated fatty acid or a hydroxymethylated fatty acid (methyl) ester.

Polyurethane and/or polyurea polymers are produced in a reaction injection molding process. The high equivalent weight isocyanate-reactive materials include a high proportion of a hydroxymethylated polyester which can be prepared using annually renewable starting materials.
摘要:
An electrochemical cell having improved current efficiency and a method for electrochemically reacting a liquid electrolyte with a gas in an electrochemical cell. The cell has at least two electrodes separated by a cell separator wherein at least one of said electrodes is a porous, self-draining, gas diffusion electrode. In one embodiment of the invention, an electrolyte is flowed through said cell separator into a porous, self-draining electrode and simultaneously the electrode is fed with a mixture of a reactive gas and water or an electrolyte. In another embodiment of the invention in which the cell separator is an ion exchange permselective membrane, a mixture of a reactive gas and an electrolyte are fed to the porous, self-draining electrode. Preferably said porous, self-draining electrode is a cathode.

A process for producing resilient, flexible polyurethane foams that function well in noise and vibration absorption applications for vehicle applications that are made from a blend of polyols (i) and an isocyanate (ii), wherein the blend of polyols (i) comprises a mixture of polyether polyols (i.a) that each has a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from 1200 to 3000 and at least 70% primary hydroxyl groups, from 5 to 80% by weight of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides are nominally difunctional, from 0.5 to 20% by weight of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides have a nominal functionality of four or higher, and the balance of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides, but not less than 1.5% by weight thereof, are nominally trifunctional; an autocatalytic polyol (i.b) having a functionality in the range of 2 to 8 and a hydroxyl number in the range of 15 to 200, wherein said autocatalytic polyol compound comprising at least one tertiary amine group; and a low unsaturation polyol (i.c) having a functionality equal to or greater than 2, a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from 1800 to 2800, and a total unsaturation value of equal to or less than 0.06 meq/g.

Flexible polyurethane foams that function well in noise and vibration absorption applications are made from a mixture of polyether polyols oxides that each has a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from 1200 to 3000 and at least 70% primary hydroxyl groups. From 5 to 80% by weight of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides are nominally difunctional, from 0.5 to 20% by weight of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides have a nominal functionality of four or higher, and the balance of the ethylene oxide-capped polypropylene oxides, but not less than 1.5% by weight thereof, are nominally trifunctional.
摘要:
Epoxy composites are prepared by separately preheating an epoxy resin and a hardener; mixing the preheated epoxy resin and preheated hardener to form a hot reaction mixture and curing the hot reaction mixture in the presence of a reinforcement until the mixture cures to form a composite having a polymer phase with a glass transition temperature of at least 150° C.

摘要:
An apparatus for combines for the collection of threshed material discharged from the combine and automatically dumping the collected material when a predetermined weight of material is accumulated. The apparatus includes a threshed material collector attached to the combine for rotation about a horizontal axis that is closer to a forward end of the collector than a rearward end of the collector. The collector includes a plurality of horizontally spaced tines extending in a rearward direction and position to collect material discharged from the combine. A counter weight is attached to the collector for controlling the amount of material collected before the collector rotates under the weight of the collected material to a dumping position where the collected material is removed from the collector.

There is disclosed a closure panel. The panel finds particular utility as a liftgate or endgate for automotive vehicles. Typically, the assembly includes a first panel portion opposite a second panel portion and an intermediate material therebetween. Preferably, one or more of the panel portions is formed of a polymeric material and the intermediate material is preferably a structural foam that can bond to both the first and the second panel portions.
