Carbon-containing materials with a surface modified by organic groups and the use of these modified materials, for example for producing composite materials or for fixing molecules of biological interest, are taught.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2002Publication date: October 10, 2002Applicant: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS)Inventors: Olivier Fagebaume, Jean Pinson, Jean-Michel Saveant

Patent number: 6458724Abstract: The invention is directed to multi-layered textile fabrics having a plurality of polymeric coating layers of polyurethane and/or polysiloxane coated thereon. The coating layers are applied to such multi-layered woven textile fabric substrates having preconfigured air-holding cavities therein to form an improved air-holding vehicle restraint system, such as an air bag or side air curtain with superior air-holding characteristics. In certain instances, the multi-layered textile fabrics are coated on one side only, and in others they may be coated on both sides, i.e., opposed first and second surfaces. The layers of the multi-layered fabric can then be joined by means of heat sealing, RF welding or combinations thereof, for purposes of forming an air bag or side air curtain without the need for sewing or stitching. The coated fabrics facilitate manufacture of air bags, side curtains or the like with both reduced cutting and sealing steps than fabrics of the prior art.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Bradford Industries, Inc.Inventors: Manuel J. Veiga, Richard J. Satin

Patent number: 6455447Abstract: A paper machine substrate modified to resist contamination by adhesive materials. The paper machine substrate includes: a paper machine substrate; and an active agent that is grafted to the surface of the paper machine substrate to lower the surface energy of the paper machine substrate so that the substrate resists contamination by adhesive material. The papermachine substrate may be made by a process that includes the steps of: providing a paper machine substrate; applying an active agent to the paper machine substrate; and exposing the paper machine substrate to greater than about 2 million rads (Mrad) of radiation to cause a reaction between the active agent and the substrate so the active agent becomes joined to the substrate. The active agent may be a fluorinated monomer, a fluorinated polymer, a perfluorinated polymers, or a polyalkyl siloxane.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1999Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Kimberly-Clark CorporationInventors: Russell Frederick Ross, Ali Yahiaoui

Patent number: 6444596Abstract: A base cloth for an air bag is obtained by forming a film of a silicone modified thermoplastic polyurethane resin having a polysiloxane segment on a surface of a woven fabric, and the air bag is formed of the base cloth. Since an organic solvent is not used when the resin is prepared, its workability is superior, the resin is safe for the human body. Also, the air bag can be quickly developed in a wide range from an extremely low temperature to a high temperature, and there is no problem of adhesion or sticking. Thus, the air bag having a stable performance and the base cloth for the air bag are provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignees: Takata Corporation, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals Mfg.
