Abstract:
A method for preparing a bis(alkoxysilylorgano)dicarboxylate includes reacting a haloorganoalkoxysilane, a dimetal salt of a dicarboxyl functional compound, and a phase transfer catalyst. A quaternary iminium compound of a polyaza, polycycloalkene is useful as the phase transfer catalyst. The product may be a bis(alkoxysilylalkyl)fumarate, which is useful as a coupling agent in rubber compositions for tire applications.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for grafting silicone onto a polyolefin comprising reacting the polyolefin with a silicon compound containing an unsaturated group in the presence of means capable of generating free radical sites in the polyolefin, characterized in that the silicon compound is a branched silicone resin containing at least one group of the formula —X—CH═CH—R″ (I) or —X—C≡C—R″ (II), in which X represents a divalent organic linkage having an electron withdrawing effect with respect to the —CH═CH— or —C≡C-bond and/or containing an aromatic ring or a further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation, the aromatic ring or the further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation being conjugated with the olefinic unsaturation of —X—CH═CH—R″ or with the acetylenic unsaturation of —X—C≡C—R″, X being bonded to the branched silicone resin by a C—Si bond, and R″ represents hydrogen or a group having an electron withdrawing effect or any other activation effect with respect to the —CH═CH— or —C□C-bond. The polyolefin is reinforced by grafting the branched silicone resin onto it.
Abstract:
A process for grafting hydrolysable silane groups to polyethylene includes reacting polyethylene with an unsaturated silane having at least one hydrolysable group bonded to Si, in the presence of a compound capable of generating free radical sites in the polyethylene. The grafted polyethylene prepared by the process can be shaped into a pipe and crosslinked by water flowing through the pipe.
Abstract:
The formation of band-shaped HTSL on a metal substrate is disclosed. The HTSL includes at least one buffer layer comprising zirconates and/or rare-earth oxides. The HTSL layer is formed on the buffer layer. The buffer layer has a texturing that in the case of a RHEED measurement results in discrete reflexes and not only in diffraction rings. In particular, the buffer layer may be textured along its interface with the HTSL layer.

Abstract:
Branched silicone (organopolysiloxane) resins and preparation method and use thereof are provided, which contain at least one group selected from phosphonate and phosphinate groups and at least one organic group containing nitrogen. Such silicone resins can be used in thermoplastic, thermosetting or rubber organic polymer compositions to reduce the flammability of the organic polymer compositions.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition comprising a polyolefin and a polyorganosiloxane in which at least 50 mole % of the siloxane units are D units as herein defined and which contains at least one unsaturated group, characterized in that the unsaturated group is group of the formula —X—CH═CH—R″ (I) or —X—C≡C—R″ (II), in which X represents a divalent organic linkage having an electron withdrawing effect with respect to the —CH═CH— or —C≡C— bond and/or containing an aromatic ring or a further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation, the aromatic ring or the further olefinic double bond or acetylenic unsaturation being conjugated with the olefinic unsaturation of —X—CH═CH—R″ or with the acetylenic unsaturation of —X—C≡C—R″ and R″ represents hydrogen or a group having an electron withdrawing effect or any other activation effect with respect to the —CH═CH— or —C≡C— bond.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the modification of elastomers by reaction with unsaturated silanes, to the modified elastomers produced and to articles produced by shaping and curing modified elastomer compositions. It also relates to the use of unsaturated silanes as coupling agents in filled elastomer compositions. In a process according to the present invention, the silane has the formula: R″—CH═CH—C(O)X—Y—SiRaR′(3-a) (I) or R″—C≡C—C(O)X—Y—SiRaR′(3-a) (II) in which R represents a hydrolysable group; R′ represents a hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; a has a value in the range 1 to 3 inclusive; Y represents a divalent organic spacer linkage comprising at least one carbon atom separating the linkage —C(O)X— from the Si atom, X is selected from S or O; and R″ represents hydrogen or a group having an electron withdrawing effect with respect to the —CH═CH— or —C≡C— bond. This provides silanes able to react efficiently with a diene elastomer in the presence of a free radical initiator.
Abstract:
A wet-chemical method for producing strip-shaped high-temperature superconductors with a substrate, optionally with a buffer layer and with a high-temperature superconductive layer is improved by increasing the texturing and the layer thickness of the high-temperature superconductive layer. To this end, precursor solutions are applied in layers to the substrate, of which the first is low in fluorine or does not contain fluorine, and the following have a fluorine concentration that increases with each layer.
