摘要:
A solution containing polymerizable monomers and volatile solvents can be used to disperse ceramic particles along with ceramic whiskers and remain pourable even with high solids. Using this dispersion, a high solids ceramic article can be molded, polymerized in situ and fired with a good binder burnout.
摘要:
A highly loaded, uniform ceramic composite can be made by first preparing a highly loaded suspension. Due to the particle-particle interactions of a highly concentrated system, virtually any dopant can be added, including other suspensions, fibers, and whiskers. The process is particularly useful for making composites of materials which coagulate when mixed at low concentration.

The present invention provides image display panels, spacer units for the same and methods for making and using the same. The spacer units include an assembly having at least one layer of generally parallel fibers which form passageways which permit the passage of energy therethrough between the emitter and the display of an image display panel. A sealing frame has a support which is positioned about and engages the periphery or side of the spacer, the emitter and the display. The sealing frame has a sealing material for providing an essentially sealed region between the spacer, emitter and display. Methods of making and using such spacer units in image display panels are also included in the present invention.
摘要:
A glass fiber chemical delivery system including water soluble fiberglass particles containing a chemical composition. The water soluble fiberglass particles may define pores in which the chemical composition is contained or the water soluble fiberglass particles may each define a hollow core containing the chemical composition. As the fiberglass particles dissolve in an aqueous environment, such as within cells of a blood vessel wall or in a reaction vessel, the chemical composition is released.
摘要:
Removal of classified particles from the classifier apparatus is simplified by the addition of a polymeric dispersant in the slurry, added in an amount substantially in excess of that needed to disperse the particles.
摘要:
Whisker reinforced composites having improved strength and toughness are prepared by a process including densification by essentially pressureless sintering. There is no need to hot press or hot isostatic press to achieve a density of 99+% of theoretical for 10 vol. % whiskers and 93+% for 20 vol. % whiskers. The composites are derived from the desired volume fraction of whiskers, a sintering aid preferably submicron in average size range, and a major portion of a pressureless sinterable matrix material having an average particle size of not more than about 0.5 micron. Yttria-alumina composites are sintered at less than about 1800.degree. C. and for less than about two hours to avoid surface degradation.
摘要:
The present invention provides an at least partially coated fiber strand comprising a plurality of glass fibers having a coating composition on at least a portion of at least one of the glass fibers, the coating composition comprising at least one coating comprising greater than 20 weight percent on a total solids basis of a plurality of particles selected from inorganic particles, organic hollow particles, composite particles, and mixtures of any of the foregoing, wherein the plurality of particles have a Mohs' hardness value which does not exceed the Mohs' hardness value of the glass fibers.
摘要:
A fabric comprising at least one fiber strand comprising a plurality of fibers and having a resin compatible coating composition on at least a surface of the at least one fiber strand, wherein the at least one fiber strand has an Air Jet Transport Drag Force value of greater than 100,000 gram force per gram mass of strand as determined by a needle air jet nozzle unit having an internal air jet chamber having a diameter of 2 millimeters and a nozzle exit tube having a length of 20 centimeters at a strand feed rate of 274 meters per minute and an air pressure of 310 kiloPascals. A reinforced laminate comprising: (a) at least one matrix material; and (b) at least one fabric comprising at least one fiber strand comprising a plurality of fibers and having a resin compatible coating composition on at least a surface of the at least one fiber strand, wherein the at least one fiber strand has an Air Jet Transport Drag Force value of greater than 100,000 gram force per gram mass of strand as determined by a needle air jet nozzle unit having an internal air jet chamber having a diameter of 0.2 millimeters and a nozzle exit tube having a length of 20 centimeters at a strand feed rate of 274 meters per minute and an air pressure of 310 kiloPascals.
摘要:
An improved method and system are provided for centrifugally separating a suspended colloidal phase. The method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention involves filling a spinning centrifuge bowl with a fluid medium distinct from the suspension, so that a static zone of liquid forms in the bowl, and then introducing the suspension into the bowl in a feed location concentrically inside of the static zone.
摘要:
Commercial wide size distribution powders are size classified into precise size fractions by means of a controlled, semi-continuous, multi-stage centrifugal classification system. The system has utility for a wide range of colloidal materials. The throughput of the semi-continuous process is higher than that of batch processes, and the semi-continuous process produces narrow size ranges and optimum yields.
