Publication number: 20230271386Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern or article comprises: (1) selecting a first composition to be printed with a nozzle of an apparatus; (II) identifying desired characteristics of a pattern or layer (“pattern/layer”) to be formed by printing the first composition; (Ill) determining dimensional differences between the desired characteristics of the pattern/layer and predicted characteristics of the pattern/layer based on computational simulation modeling, or determining dimensional differences between the desired characteristics of the pattern/layer and actual characteristics of a trial layer, based on a flow rate of the first composition, a speed of a substrate and/or the nozzle, and the desired characteristics of the pattern/layer; and (IV) printing the first composition with the nozzle on the substrate to form the pattern/layer. The method comprises, during (IV) printing, (V) implementing a correction signal to adjust a flow rate of the first composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Bizhong ZHU, Stanley YEE, Kurt A.

Patent number: 11390747Abstract: A composition for forming a silicone elastomer is disclosed. The composition comprises: A) a linear organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule; B) a linear organohydrogensiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; C) at least one cross-linker; and D) a hydrosilylation catalyst. The cross-linker C) is selected from the group consisting of: C1) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule; and C2) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule. At least one of the silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups of component C1) has a lower reactivity relative to the silicon-bonded ethylenically unsaturated groups of component A). Moreover, at least one of the silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms of component C2) has a lower reactivity relative to the silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms of component B).Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Dow Silicones CorporationInventors: Jon V.
