Also disclosed are polymer membranes which include a crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine) and which also include a second polyamine wherein the poly(vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine) and the second polyamine are crosslinked with one another.
摘要:
A porous ceramic honeycomb filter manufactured from an oxide-based ceramic material having a pore size distribution with d1≧7.0 microns. Preferably, the oxide-based material is cordierite or aluminum titanate. Alternatively, the filter contains a cordierite-containing ceramic body with a narrow pore size distribution with db≦1.00, wherein db=(d90−d10)/d50. Also disclosed is a batch mixture, method and honeycomb green body made from mixture of inorganic source materials selected from the group of magnesia sources, alumina sources, and silica sources, and a pore former having a narrow particle size distribution with dps≦0.90, wherein dps={(dp90−dp10)/dp50}. The pore former is preferably selected from a group consisting of canna starch, sago palm starch, green mung bean starch, and single-mode potato starch.

A ceramic forming batch mixture including inorganic batch materials, such as sources of alumina, titania, and silica, a pore former combination including first and second pore formers with different compositions; an organic binder; and a solvent. Also disclosed is a method for producing a ceramic article involving mixing the inorganic batch materials with the pore former combination having first and second pore formers of different composition, adding an organic binder and a solvent, forming a green body; and firing the green body. A green body having a combination of first and second pore formers with different compositions is disclosed, as are several methods for firing to produce ceramic articles such as aluminum titanate.

摘要:
An apparatus and method to passivate porous ceramic articles containing microcracks as described herein. The method includes circulating a fluid including a passivator through the porous ceramic article and depositing at least a portion of the passivator on the porous ceramic article.
摘要:
Disclosed are ceramic articles, which in one aspect are composed predominately of a cordierite having a composition close to that of Mg2Al4Si5O18. The ceramic articles possess a microstructure characterized by a unique combination of relatively high porosity and relatively narrow pore size distribution, both as measured by mercury porosimetry, that render the ceramic structure useful for ceramic filter applications requiring high thermal durability and high filtration efficiency coupled with low pressure drop along the length of the filter. Such ceramic bodies are particularly well suited for filtration applications, such as diesel exhaust filters or DPFs. Also disclosed are methods for the manufacture of the ceramic articles described herein.

摘要:
A terploymer containing N-halogenated phenyl maleimide units or N-halogenated phenyl bismaleimide units, one or more second units selected from the group consisting of halogenated acrylates, halogenated styrenes, halogenated vinyl ethers, halogenated olefins, halogenated vinyl isocyanates, halogenated N-vinyl amides, halogenated allyls, halogenated propenyl ethers, halogenated methacrylates, halogenated maleates, halogenated itaconates, and halogenated crotonates and one or more third units comprising a monomer containing both a free radically polymerizable group and cationic ring opening polymerizable group, is prepared by radical co-polymerization. The resulting linear plastic polymer group contains a UV, or e-beam curable ring opening polymerizable functional groups. Such plastic polymer is then blended with cationic photoiniator and processed into optical waveguide structures using a hot embossing technique. The terpolymer is subsequently crosslinked by exposure to UV or E-beam radiation and thermal post-bake. Alternatively, in a direct contact photolithographic process, the terpolymer is mixed with cationic photoinitiator, and deposited or coated onto a substrate. Then optical waveguide structures are formed by exposing the terpolymer to UV or E-beam radiation through a photomask. After thermal postbake, the exposed area of the photopolymer is chemically crosslinked. The unexposed area is washed away with solvent. The terpolymer is fully compatible with polymer processes such as micromolding, hot-embossing, coating and direct contact photolithography processes to fabricate polymer waveguide devices. The crosslinked polymer waveguides have low optical loss, good thermal and environmental stability and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
