Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a liquid aromatic polyester polyol composition for preparing a polyurethane foam product including at least one polyalicyclic structure, wherein the aromatic polyester polyol composition is a clear liquid at room temperature, the viscosity of the aromatic polyester polyol composition, at room temperature and at a shear rate of 10 sec-1, is no greater than 100 Pa-s; and the OH number of the aromatic polyester polyol composition is in the range of from 100 mg KOH/g to 500 mg KOH/g; and a process for preparing the above liquid aromatic polyester polyol composition; an isocyanate-reactive composition and a foam-forming composition comprising the liquid aromatic polyester polyol.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards hybrid foam formulations that include: an isocyanate-reactive composition, and a high-functionality crosslinker; an azo type radical initiator; and an isocyanate.
Abstract:
A light splitting optical module that converts incident light into electrical energy, the module including a solid optical element comprising an input end for receiving light, a first side, and a second side spaced from the first side, a first solar cell adjacent to the first side of the solid optical element, and a second solar cell adjacent to the second side of the solid optical element. The first solar cell is positioned to absorb a first subset of incident light and reflect a first remainder of the incident light to the second solar cell through the solid optical element, wherein the first solar cell has a lower band gap than the second cell.
