Abstract:
Methods and formulations for modified silicone resins of Formula (I) are presented: The R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from a group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and aryl; n ranges from 1 to 10; m ranges from 1 to 200; and p ranges from 2 to 1,000. The elastomeric materials prepared from modified silicone resins display robust mechanical properties following prolonged exposure to high temperatures (e.g., 316° C. or higher).
Abstract:
There is provided a method of synthesizing and using a segmented copolymer that includes mixing one or more α,ω (alpha, omega) amine or α,ω (alpha, omega) hydroxyl terminated polysiloxane first soft segments having an average molecular weight of between about 2500 grams per mole to about 10,000 grams per mole, and one or more diisocyanate species, together to form a first reaction product; mixing the first reaction product and one or more low molecular weight diol or diamine chain extenders each having an average molecular weight of less than 400 grams per mole, together in a solvent to form a segmented copolymer in solution; and applying the segmented copolymer in solution to one or more surfaces via spray coating directly from the solution with the segmented copolymer, wherein the segmented copolymer formed has a high flexibility at an environmental temperature of down to about −100 degrees Celsius.

Abstract:
Methods and formulations for modified silicone resins of Formula (II) are presented. Formula (II) comprises at least one of each of the following subunits: The R1, R2, R3, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are each independently selected from a group consisting of H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and aryl. The X is selected from a group consisting of arylene, transition metal, inorganic oxide, and silsesquioxane. The values oft ranges from 1 to 10, y ranges from 1 to 200 and z ranges from 1 to 1,000. The elastomeric materials prepared from modified silicone resins display robust mechanical properties following prolonged exposure to high temperatures (e.g., 316° C. or higher).

There is provided segmented copolymer compositions and methods of making the same. The composition has one or more α,ω (alpha, omega) amine or α,ω (alpha, omega) hydroxyl terminated polysiloxane first soft segments having an average molecular weight of between about 2500 grams per mole to about 10,000 grams per mole. The composition further has one or more diisocyanate species. The composition further has one or more low molecular weight diol or diamine chain extenders each having an average molecular weight of less than 400 grams per mole. The composition has a high flexibility at an environmental temperature of down to about −100 degrees Celsius, and further has a percent elongation of greater than about 250%, a high tensile strength of greater than about 25 MPa (megapascals), and a single low glass transition temperature (Tg) in a range of from about −60 degrees Celsius to about −110 degrees Celsius.
