摘要:
A laser-sinterable powder product has been prepared having unique properties which allow the powder to be sintered in a selective laser sintering machine to form a sintered part which is near-fully dense. For most purposes, the sintered part is indistinguishable from another part having the same dimensions made by isotropically molding the powder. In addition to being freely flowable at a temperature near its softening temperature, a useful powder is disclosed that has a two-tier distribution in which substantially no primary particles have an average diameter greater than 180 .mu.m, provided further that the number average ratio of particles smaller than 53 .mu.m is greater than 80%, the remaining larger particles being in the size range from 53 .mu.m to 180 .mu.m. A powder with slow recrystallization rates, as evidenced by non-overlapping endothermic and exothermic peaks in their differential scanning calorimetry characteristics for scan rates of on the order of 10.degree. C. to 20.degree. C. per minute, will also result in sintered parts that are near-fully dense, with minimal dimensional distortion.

A laser-sinterable powder product has been prepared having unique properties which allow the powder to be sintered in a selective laser sintering (SLS) machine to form a sintered part which is near-fully dense. For most purposes, the sintered part is indistinguishable from another part having the same dimensions made by isotropically molding the powder. In addition to being freely flowable at a temperature near its softening temperature, the powder has a two-tier distribution in which substantially no primary particles has an average diameter greater than 180.mu.m, provided further that the number average ratio of particles smaller than 53.mu.m is greater than 80%, the remaining larger particles being in the size range from 53.mu.m to 180.mu.m. When the powder is a semicrystalline synthetic resin having a number average molecular weight in the range from about 30,000 to 500,000; a molecular weight distribution M.sub.w /M.sub.n in the range from 1 to 5; and, provides a window of sinterability in the temperature range from near the powder's softening temperature T.sub.s to its caking temperature T.sub.c, it is sintered layer-upon layer to form a near-fully dense part of arbitrary shape.

This method teaches how to recover and reuse a powder of a thermally degradable material which is used in a selective laser sintering (SLS) process. To recycle such a laser-sinterable powder successfully in a SLS machine it is protected against degradation by cooling the hot bed while layer-upon-layer (layer-wise) of powder is being sintered, seriatim, to form successive slices fused together to form an article of arbitrary shape (part). The process requires maintaining the powder which has more than 80% of the number of particles
摘要:
A composite powder specially adapted for use in selective laser sintering is disclosed. The composite powder includes a polymer powder dry mixed with a reinforcement powder, where the polymer powder has a melting temperature substantially lower than that of the reinforcement powder. In the case where nearfully dense parts are to be formed, the first constituent powder is preferably a semi-crystalline powder, for example nylon 11, of a composition suitable for forming near-fully dense parts when used unblended in selective laser sintering; if porous parts are desired, the polymer powder is an amorphous powder, such as polycarbonate, polystyrene, acrylates, and styrene/acrylate copolymers. The reinforcement powder is preferably microspheres of glass, preferably coated to enhance wetting and adhesion with the polymer powder when selective laser sintering is performed. Besides improving the stiffness and heat resistance of the part produced, the composite powder widens the process window over that provided by unblended powder, provides improved dimensional accuracy in the part produced, and facilitates roughbreakout and smooth finishing of the part produced.

Aromatic mono-, di-, or trihydroxy compounds are used alone or containing peel strength-improving additives, in association with a polyurethane adhesive, for adhering a polyurethane-coated nylon fabric to another polyurethane-coated nylon fabric to form a polyurethane-coated nylon composite, and for adhering a nylon fabric coated with an aluminum flake-containing polyurethane to a polyurethane-coated nylon fabric. Additionally, aromatic mono-, di-, or trihydroxy compounds are utilized in association with a polyurethane adhesive for forming a lamina composition comprising a polyurethane film adhered to a nylon fabric.
摘要:
Ethylene is prepared in an oxydehydrogenation reaction of ethane by contacting a charge amount of ethane, an oxygen source, a chlorine source and water in the presence of a solid solution catalyst at an effective temperature. A low yield of vinyl chloride and a high yield of ethylene are obtained at a high ethane conversion.
摘要:
Vinyl chloride (VC) resins, particularly poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) are reinforced with glass fibers which have been sized with a particular aminosilane coupling agent and a particularly characterized basic film former. At the processing temperature of VC resin, containing a stabilizer against degradation during thermoforming, for example in an extruder, or on a mixing mill used to blend the resin with sized glass fibers, a reaction occurs between an aminosilane coupling agent and the VC resin which reaction involves C.dbd.C bonds in the homopolymer, provided the polymer film former in the size is more basic than poly(vinyl acetate) ("PVA"). The film former catalyzes the thermal dehydrohalogenation of the VC homopolymer at the fiber-resin interface so as to generate allylic Cl moieties in chains of the homopolymer, which moieties react with the amine groups of the aminosilane. The size is most conveniently coated on the fibers from a sizing solution, dispersion or emulsion containing the coupling agent and film former in which allylic Cl moieties in VC resin chains become covalently bonded to an aminosilane, so that even upon thorough extraction of a GFR VC composite with tetrahydrofuran (THF), sufficient bound VC resin remains so that X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) examination indicates that the ratio of total chlorine to total carbon remaining on the surface of the glass fibers, i.e. the ratio of the areas of the "Cl(2p)/C(1s)" peaks, is at least 0.91.
摘要:
Oxidation of chlorinated hydrocarbons ("CHC") is effected in a fluidized bed of alumina catalyst-support on which is deposited a "soft" metal as the active catalytic ingredient, and the bed is fluidized with a nitrogen-free oxygen-containing stream of HCl gas, in conjunction with steam. The steam, in a particular range of proportions relative to the HCl, stifles the production of free Cl without blinding the active catalyst sites so that conversion of the CHCs is always at least 95%. The process comprises contacting the CHCs in the vapor phase with a fluidized bed of a catalyst-support on which is deposited an effective amount of iron, or copper, or both, in an active form, sufficient to convert in excess of 95% of the CHC on a molar basis, and the bed is fluidized with HCl, superheated steam and oxygen substantially free of nitrogen.In a particular embodiment using a single ("catoxid") reactor, the effluent is purged of water, unconverted CHCs, CO.sub.2 and some HCl, and the remaining predominantly HCl stream is recycled to the catoxid reactor. In another embodiment of the invention, the effluent from the catoxid reactor is fed to a second ("oxy") reactor to recover the HCl values by reaction with ethylene, air and HCl to produce 1,2-dichloroethane; the effluent from the catoxid reactor helps to fluidize the catalyst in the oxy reactor.

摘要:
At least three, and as many as eighteen, most preferably at least nine, crosslinking sites are provided through the alkoxy groups in multiple chains on a triazine ring (hence "multisilane"), on a single molecule of the multisilane. The multisilane, useful as a coupling agent, is formed by reacting a triazine-containing compound with a suitable aminoalkyl-alkoxysilane, or, alkyl-aminoalkyl-alkoxysilane in either an anhydrous, or an aqueous liquid medium. A size containing the multisilane, enhances the reinforced properties of organic synthetic resinous materials in which the fibers are used, and most particularly those of rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with which it provides cohesive bonding of glass fiber surfaces. Glass fibers coated with a basic film former and the multisilane are covalently bonded on the one hand through some of at least nine alkoxy groups on each of the multisilane molecules, to Si atoms of a glass surface, and on the other hand, through at least some of the amine groups on each of the molecules, to the vinyl chloride (VC) resin in a reaction which involves allylic chloride bonds in the VC resin. The multisilane is effective in adhesives for a wide variety of materials, and in protective coatings.
