摘要:
An improved superhydrophobic coating and a process of making it is provided herein. More particularly, a robust superhydrophobic coating is produced by using carbon dioxide to enhance the integration of a binder material into the superhydrophobic coating. The carbon dioxide may be used to infiltrate and fill the interstitial voids of a superhydrophobic material, such as diatomaceous earth. Consequently, occupying these voids in the superhydrophobic material effectively blocks other components (e.g., binders) from entering the voids. As a result, the coating formulations of the present invention are more robust and may strongly adhere to the substrates to which they are applied.
摘要:
A method of forming a titania-coated inorganic particle comprising the steps of (a) stirring a mixture of a titania precursor such as a titanium alkoxide and an inorganic particle such as a hollow glass particles in an organic solvent such as an alcohol for more than 1 h to cause adsorption of the titania precursor on the surface of the inorganic particle; and (b) adding water dropwise to the mixture under stirring to convert the titania precursor to titania which then forms a coating on the inorganic particle. A method for forming a paint formulation, a titania-coated inorganic particle, a paint formulation comprising a titania-coated inorganic particle and use of a titania-coated inorganic particle in a paint formulation is also described.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method of making paper or paperboard comprising the steps of; a. providing a stock suspension; b. adding a mixture of alkali-metal silicate and precipitated calcium carbonate to said stock suspension; c. adding an acidic media to said stock suspension substantially directly before and/or after step (b) d. forming a web of the stock suspension obtained in step (d) e. drying said web. The addition of a mixture of alkali-metal silicate and PCC and of an acidic media to the stock suspension in accordance with the invention improves the bonding between the fibers and the filler (PCC), whereby problems related to dusting is decreased. Moreover, the method enables the addition of a higher amount of fillers to the paper without substantially affecting the strength.

摘要:
The invention relates to the use of nonpassivated silicon to produce hydrogen, by hydrolysis of the nonpassivated silicon. In particular, the invention relates to a composition comprising nonpassivated silicon, a process for producing a composition comprising nonpassivated silicon, and a process for producing hydrogen by reacting the composition with water.
摘要:
A composite particle is provided. The particle comprises a first particle component and a second particle component in which: (a) the first particle component comprises a body portion and a surface portion, the surface portion comprising one or more structural features and one or more voids, whereby the surface portion and body portion define together a structured particle; and (b) the second component comprises a removable filler; characterised in that (i) one or both of the body portion and the surface portion comprise an active material; and (ii) the filler is contained within one or more voids comprised within the surface portion of the first component. The use of the particle in applications such as electrochemical cells, metal-ion batteries such as secondary battery applications, lithium air batteries, flow cell batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, filters, sensors, electrical and thermal capacitors, micro-fluidic devices, gas or vapour sensors, thermal or dielectric insulating devices, devices for controlling or modifying the transmission, absorption or reflectance of light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, chromatography or wound dressings is disclosed.
