摘要:
A rock laminate has been provided that includes a layer of rock and a flexible layer. The layer of rock has a plurality of pores that can receive fluid. The flexible layer is positioned above the layer of rock and has a portion which extends into the pores of the layer of rock. Additionally a method for making a rock laminate is provided. The method includes providing a rock having an exposed surface and applying a polymer that bonds with the exposed surface. The polymer is lifted along with corresponding bonded portion of the exposed surface is lifted from the rock.

The present invention involves a system and method of delaminating a layered silicate to provide improved mechanical properties to select materials such as polymers. The method includes providing particles of the layered silicate and a supercritical fluid. The method further includes contacting the layered silicate particles with the supercritical fluid to define contacted layered silicate particles and catastrophically depressurizing the contacted layered silicate particles to exfoliate the layered particles so that the layered particles are substantially dispersed, defining treated silicate particles.

The disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for fracturing solid matter. The apparatus including an elongated element, the elongated element including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are wider than the elongated element and wherein an intermediate portion of the elongated element is formed between the first end and the second end, wherein the intermediate portion is configured to contain a first liquid between the solid matter and the elongated element; and a conduit configured to convey a second fluid, wherein the second fluid is at a temperature below a freezing temperature of the first fluid, wherein a portion of the conduit passes through the intermediate portion.

Rectangularly shaped snapstrates are separated into substrates along kerfs that are parallel to edges thereof by belt and roller flexure forces produced by two belts that are caused to be contiguous over the suspended length of the upper belt by a pressure roller forcing the two belts together at an intermediate point between roller supports for the belts. This produces oppositely facing curvatures in the belts at spaced apart transverse lines thereon which flex snapstrates in opposite directions with a flexure force which is sufficient to separate snapstrates on the lower belt with kerfs facing in the right direction and which is not sufficient to separate snapstrates there with kerfs facing in the wrong direction. In an alternate embodiment, the peripheries of rollers are tapered in vertical sections for separating snapstrates along kerfs oriented at right angles. In a further embodiment, only a single belt with a pressure roller pressing down on it is employed to separate snapstrates.

A slate-chamfering machine is disclosed which comprises at least one rotatably drivable cutting tool, the machine being adapted to present at least one edge of a substantially rectangular slate to the cutting tool, and feeding means for effecting relative movement between the cutting tool and the slate in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the tool when the slate is presented to the tool, whereby the whole length of said edge may be roughly chamfered to achieve a ''''naturally broken'''' finish.
