Abstract:
A thermal management assembly comprising a bulk graphene material and a metal-based coating layer disposed on opposing surfaces of the bulk graphene core material comprising an agent that is reactive with the graphene to form a carbide. The metal-based coating layer can serve as an outer layer of the assembly or can serve to bond the graphene to other materials encapsulating the graphene core. The metal-based coating layer with the reactive agent provides an assembly exhibiting excellent thermal conductivity properties and greatly improved thermal interface resistance.
Abstract:
A thermally conductive filler composition and a resin composition comprising such filler compositions. The filler composition comprises a blend of a boron nitride, a metal oxide, and a silane. The filler composition can further comprise other filler components including, for example, glass fiber or glass flake. The filler compositions can be added to a resin composition to provide a thermally conductive resin such as, for example, a thermally conductive plastic.
Abstract:
Moisture-curable compositions are provided which comprises a moisture-curable silylated resin, a flexibilizer and at least one curing catalyst. The cured compositions possess enhanced elongation and tear properties, and are highly suitable for applications such as adhesives, sealants, coatings, gaskets, industrial rubber goods, and the like.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a detectable and stable composition comprising an organofunctional silane and/or hydrolyzate and/or partial or complete condensate thereof, a colloidal metal oxide, a water soluble organic dye having a positive charge and a counterion derived from a carboxylic acid of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and water. The invention is also directed to a method for determining the uniformity and film thickness of a detectable composition applied to a substrate comprising applying to the surface of the substrate the detectable composition and measuring an optical property of the applied coating, the resulting measurement being related to the uniformity of the applied composition.
Abstract:
A moisture-curable resin composition comprising (a) a moisture-curable polymer having at least one hydrolysable silyl group; (b) a reactive modifier; (c) a catalyst for catalyzing the reaction between the moisture-curable polymer (a) and reactive modifier (b) under curing conditions; and optionally, the composition can contain one or more conventional components, including pigments, fillers, curing catalysts, dyes, plasticizers, thickeners, coupling agents, extenders, volatile organic solvents, wetting agents, tackifiers, crosslinking agents, thermoplastic polymers, ultraviolet stabilizers, and combination thereof. The moisture-curable resin composition is useful in the production of adhesives including hot melt adhesives, primers, sealants and coatings.
Abstract:
A silicone composition comprising a formula: (M1)a(D1)b(D2)c wherein M1=R1R2R3SiO1/2, D1=R4R5SiO2/2; and D2=R6R7SiO2/2; wherein R1 is independently at each occurrence a monovalent hydrocarbon radical comprising a reactive end-group other than an amino group; R6 comprises a monovalent poly(oxyalkyl)hydrocarbon radical; and R2, R3, R4, R5, and R7 are independently monovalent hydrocarbon radicals; wherein a, b, and c are stoichiometric subscripts that are zero or positive subject to the following limitations: a is greater than or equal to 2; c is greater than or equal to 1; and when b=0, a+c is greater than or equal to 3 is disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to the preparation and use of moderately cross-linked (chin-extended), reverse (or “inverted”) surfactants, wherein the reverse surfactants comprise a polyether backbone with oligomeric or polymeric silicon-containing substitutions along the backbone. The present invention further describes crosslinked versions of the inverted surfactants, reaction products of alkenyl (allyl, vinyl, methallyl) functional copolymers (polyethers), silicone hydrides and cross-linking agents, which may be optionally reacted with water to react the remaining alkoxy groups. The crosslinking agent contains either SiH or Si-alkoxy groups or both. The compounds of the present invention exhibit only moderate cross-linking in order to be soluble or dispersible in appropriate solvents.
