Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic support comprising: (A) at least one woven fiber reinforcement material formed from at least one fiber free of basalt glass; and (B) at least one matrix material in contact with at least a portion of the at least one reinforcement material, the at least one matrix material comprising at least one non-fluorinated polymer and at least one inorganic filler, wherein the at least one inorganic filler comprises at least one non-hydratable, lamellar inorganic solid lubricant having a high electrical resistivity and wherein the at least one inorganic filler comprises at least 6 weight percent of a total combined weight of the at least one inorganic filler and the at least one matrix material on a total solids basis.

Abstract: The present invention provides an at least partially coated fiber strand comprising a plurality of fibers having a resin compatible coating composition on at least a portion of a surface of at least one of the fibers, the resin compatible coating composition comprising: (a) a plurality of discrete particles comprising a silicate having a high affinity for metal ions; and (b) at least one film-forming material.

Abstract: Suspensions of ceramic or metallic colloidal particles having a high volume fraction (greater than about 55 vol. %) solid particles are provided in a pourable form. The pourable suspension includes at least about 55 vol. % ceramic or metallic colloidal particles, an aqueous vehicle, and an acrylic acid-based polymeric polyelectrolytic dispersant. Such suspensions can be prepared by mixing the colloidal particles in a staged order of addition and under a high shear rate with the other components. The suspensions are suitable for making ceramic or metallic articles, and can exhibit a low viscosity.
