摘要:
Composites which include a polymer matrix having natural free volume therein and an inorganic or organic material disposed in the natural free volume of the polymer matrix are disclosed. In addition, methods for making a composite are described. A polymer matrix having free volume therein is provided. The free volume is evacuated, and inorganic or organic molecules are infused into the evacuated free volume of the polymer matrix. The inorganic or organic molecules can then be polymerized under conditions effective to cause the polymerized inorganic or organic molecules to assemble into macromolecular networks. Alternatively, where the polymer matrix contains a functionality, the inorganic or organic molecules can be treated under conditions effective to cause the inorganic or organic molecules to interact with the polymer matrix's functionality. Use of the disclosed composites as photoradiation shields and filters, electromagnetic radiation shields and filters, antistatic layers, heterogeneous catalysts, conducting electrodes, materials having flame and heat retardant properties; components in the construction of electrolytic cells, fuel cells, and optoelectronic devices, is also described.

摘要:
Novel metallohalopolymers comprising an oxyhalopolymer and a transition metal covalently bonded to an oxygen site on the oxyhalopolymer possess desirable properties of inertness, stability, hydrophobicity and high electronegativity like fluoropolymers such as PTFE. The metallohalopolymers also possess unusual superacidic properties making oxygen-containing sites on the polymeric backbone highly nucleophilic and reactive with transition metals for synthesis of stable metallized polymers without requiring exposure to destructive calcining temperatures or intermediate chelating organosilane linking agents. The transition metals can be covalently bonded directly to the polymeric support to form metallohalopolymers for use as catalysts in the synthesis of chemicals, biocides and useful articles of manufacture, such as filtration devices containing the biocidally active metallohalopolymers.

There is disclosed adhesive-oxyhalopolymer composites having surface hydrogen and oxygen or oxygen functionality groups wherein the oxygen or oxygen functionality sites are chemically bonded to an adhesive material forming a stable and permanent bond with surprisingly and unexpected superior bond strength. The adhesive-oxyhalopolymer composites comprise an oxyhalopolymer prepared from a halopolymer having from about 1 to 100 percent of surface halogens permanently substituted with hydrogen and oxygen or oxygen-containing groups of which from about 3 to about 30 percent of the substituted halogens are replaced with oxygen or oxygen-containing groups and from about 70 to about 97 percent of the substituted halogens are replaced with hydrogen atoms and the oxyhalopolymer is chemically bonded to an adhesive material.

Disclosed is a method of reducing damage resulting from environmental electromagnetic effects on a non-metallic surface. The method includes disposing a polymeric sheet material over the non-metallic surface and disposing a metal layer between the non-metallic surface and the polymeric sheet material. Objects which includes a substrate having a non-metallic surface, a halopolymer sheet material disposed over the substrate's non-metallic surface, and a metal layer disposed between the halopolymer sheet material and the substrate's non-metallic surface are also described. Laminates are also disclosed. One such laminate includes a metal layer having a first surface and a second surface, a halopolymer sheet material bonded or adhered to the first surface of the metal layer, and an adhesive disposed on the second surface of the metal layer. Another such laminate includes a halopolymer fabric having a first surface and a second surface, a metal layer bonded or adhered to the first surface of the halopolymer fabric, and an adhesive disposed on the second surface of the halopolymer fabric.

摘要:
Novel appliqués comprising oxyhalopolymer-adhesive composites wherein the adhesive layer of the composite is chemically bonded to reactive sites on at least one side of the oxyhalopolymer layer, possess superior peel strengths, resistance to delamination and protective properties, including protection of surfaces from lightning strike to seamless protective liners for tanks. The appliques are suitable for printing architectural designs thereon. Multilayered specialty appliqués can be fabricated from the above fundamental oxyhalopolymer-adhesive composite structure, including layered adhesives for encapsulating tridimensional mechanical and electrical devices, such as RF, or microwave sensitive antennae for transmitting and receiving communications, providing protection from environmental electromagnetic effects (E3), shock and impact resistance, multidimensional deformable structures; housing for temperature control systems, etc. The properties of the appliqués can be modified by introducing various additives to the halopolymer and/or adhesive layers to customize electrical, and optical shielding, or reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and the like.
