摘要:
A nanocomposite material includes at least one polymeric material and at least one modified nanofiller material having shielded polar groups, wherein the at least one polymeric material is compatible with the modified nanofiller without an external compatibilizing material. The nanocomposite material advantageously exhibits enhanced physical properties.
摘要:
A method for minimizing nanofiller agglomeration within a polymeric material includes the step of introducing the nanofiller at predetermined parameters into an extruder having the polymeric material therein. The nanofiller introduction is downstream of the area of the extruder wherein the polymeric material had been substantially melted and mixed. After the nanofiller introduction, the melted polymeric material has the nanofiller dispersed therewithin substantially without agglomerated nanofiller. Then the melted polymeric material having nanofiller dispersed therewithin exits the extruder before nanofiller agglomeration occurs.
摘要:
Clay compositions useful for modification of organic and aqueous fluids may be prepared from clays, silicon compounds, onium compounds or combinations thereof. An aqueous clay slurry may be acidified to form an acidic clay slurry. At least one silicon compound may be contacted with the aqueous clay slurry to form a silanated clay composition. In certain embodiments, a silanated clay composition may be contacted with an onium ion to form a silanated organoclay composition. In some embodiments, the silanated clay compositions may be incorporated into monomer and/or polymer systems to make composites with improved performance.

摘要:
A pump system including a control system for controlling a variable flow pump for controlling oil flow and oil pressure in a hydraulic circuit in an engine. The system includes a pump member, an actuating member capable of controlling the flow generated by the pump member, and a solenoid valve system including a solenoid valve portion and a pressure regulator valve portion. The solenoid valve system is operably associated with the pump and the pressure regulator valve portion is operably associated with the actuating member for selectively controlling the flow generated by the pump member. An electronic control unit is operably associated with the solenoid valve portion, wherein the electronic control unit is selectively operable to provide an input control signal to the solenoid valve portion for controlling oil flow and oil pressure.
摘要:
A variable displacement vane-type fluid pump is provided which permits improved regulation of the pump discharge such that the pump can meet the various requirements of lubrication for internal combustion engines at all speeds with minimized use of power. Of course, the vane pump may also be utilized in a wide range of power transmission and other fluid distribution applications. The vane pump of the invention may also use both hydrostatic and mechanical actuators to control the position of its containment ring or eccentric ring and hence, regulate the output of the pump. According to yet another aspect of the present invention, to prevent inlet flow restriction or cavitation, a valve may be provided to permit some of the pump outlet or discharge flow to bleed into the pump inlet to provide needed velocity energy to the fluid flow into the pump inlet. A system for lubrication of an engine using a fixed displacement pump for providing an engine speed input for controlling a second main variable displacement type oil pump and maintaining a target oil pressure in the oil pressure circuit. A solenoid valve is used for venting output of the fixed displacement pump to create a second target oil pressure characteristic or curve when desired.
