Abstract:
Rubber formulations comprising a base rubber composition, graphenic carbon particles, and non-conductive filler particles such as silica are disclosed. The formulations possess favorable properties such as relatively low surface resistivities, and are useful for many applications such as tire treads.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for making graphenic carbon particles. The method includes introducing a hydrocarbon precursor material capable of forming a two-carbon-fragment species into a thermal zone, heating the hydrocarbon precursor material in the thermal zone to form the graphenic carbon particles from the hydrocarbon precursor material, and collecting the graphenic carbon particles. Apparatus for performing such a method, and graphenic particles produced by the method, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Coating compositions are disclosed that include corrosion resisting particles such that the coating composition can exhibit corrosion resistance properties. Also disclosed are substrates at least partially coated with a coating deposited from such a composition and multi-component composite coatings, wherein at least one coating later is deposited from such a coating composition. Methods and apparatus for making ultrafine solid particles are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A system and method for making ultrafine particles are disclosed. A high temperature plasma is generated at an inlet end of a plasma chamber into which precursor materials are introduced. A converging member is located adjacent an outlet end of the plasma chamber. During operation, a substantially constant pressure and/or material flow pattern is maintained to reduce or eliminate fouling of the system.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for making ultrafine silica particles in a plasma system, apparatus for making ultrafine silica particles, and coating compositions comprising ultrafine silica particles made by such methods and/or apparatus.
Abstract:
A method for producing ultrafine metal carbide particles and hydrogen is disclosed. The method includes introducing a metal-containing precursor and a carbon-containing precursor into a thermal reaction chamber, heating the precursors in the thermal reaction chamber to form the ultrafine metal carbide particles from the precursors and to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen, collecting the ultrafine doped metal carbide particles, converting at least a portion of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and generating additional hydrogen, and recovering at least a portion of the hydrogen.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a scooter with two chair backs. The scooter includes a main body containing a wheel seat, a pedal and front/rear wheel set; two chair back supports, assembled separately onto both sides on the back of wheel seat of the main body; and two chair backs, incorporated onto at least one chair back support via the connecting frame and transversely arranged at interval. The scooter of the present invention substantially improves the structural functionality and comfort of the chair back of the scooter, and also meets the diversified customer requirements with improved applicability.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a static random access memory (SRAM) cell array structure which comprises a first and second bit-line coupled to a column of SRAM cells, the first and second bit-lines being substantially parallel to each other and formed by a first metal layer, and a first conductive line being placed between the first and second bit-lines and spanning across the column of SRAM cells without making conductive coupling thereto, the first conductive line being also formed by the first metal layer.
Abstract:
Coating compositions are disclosed that include corrosion resisting particles. Also disclosed are methods for making such coating compositions and substrates at least partially coated with a coating deposited from such a coating composition and multi-component composite coatings, wherein at least one coating layer is deposited from such a coating composition.
Abstract:
An electrodepositable coating composition is provided including a resinous phase and catalyst nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous medium, the resinous phase including (a) at least one active hydrogen-containing, ionic salt group-containing resin; and (b) at least one curing agent; and the catalyst nanoparticles for effecting cure between the resin (a) and the curing agent (b). The catalyst nanoparticles have an average BET specific surface area greater than 20 square meters per gram (m2/g). Methods of preparing and using the composition also are provided.
