Abstract: The present invention provides saw blade segments comprising polycrystalline diamond cutting elements and single crystal diamond cutting elements dispersed in a bonding matrix. In a preferred embodiment abrasion resistant particles are included so as to cause non-uniform wearing of the cutting segments. In another aspect of the invention, cutting segments are provided which utilize surface set polycrystalline diamond cutting elements larger than mesh size 18.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement enabling a more reliable detection of flaws in polycrystalline diamond compacts by x-ray imaging and expecially for compacts used for wire drawing dies. In an embodiment, wire die compacts are prepared having a plycrystalline diamond core disposed within a metal carbide annulus. In the core are uniformly dispersed less than five (5) percent by weight particles such as tungsten carbide which initially have an average particle size substantially less than the diamond particles used to form polycrystalline mass.
Abstract: Diamond or CBN polycrystalline abrasive grit useful in tools for grinding or cutting is made by size reducing and leaching non-diamond or non-CBN material from a compact to provide polycrystalline abrasive grit having a selected and having a network of inter-connected, empty pores dispersed throughout.

Abstract: Abrasive compacts are described which comprise a support mass having abrasive masses bonded to each of the upper and lower surfaces of said support mass. Preferably, the abrasive masses are diamond or cubic boron nitride and the support mass is a sintered carbide. Bonding of the abrasive masses to the support mass preferably is accomplished by a high pressure, high temperature process.
Abstract: There is provided a composition having interpenetrating matrices comprising (a) a first polymer network characterized by nodes interconnected by fibrils and (b) a second polymer network comprising diorganosiloxy units. In another aspect, there are provided compositions comprising an interpenetrating polymer network of polytetrafluoroethylene and polydiorganosiloxane. Methods for making the foregoing compositions are also provided.
Abstract: A method for the selective removal of boron halides and other Lewis acid-type impurities from silicon halides is disclosed. Treatment of contaminated silicon halides with siloxanes, which react with the impurities, allow the distillation of silicon halide which is virtually free from contamination within extremely low limits of detectability.
Abstract: There are provided novel silicone-ester waxes having the general unit formula ##EQU1## where R is hydrogen or an organic radical, R.sup.1 is an ester-containing radical having at least 12 carbon atoms, a and b are independently selected integers from 0 to 3 inclusive, and the sum of a+b has an average value from about 1.0 to about 3.0, with the proviso that there is present at least one R.sup.1 radical.
Abstract: A curable silicone coating composition which is resistant to dirt pickup, comprising:(1) a vinyl chainstopped polysiloxane having a viscosity up to 2,000,000 centipoise;(2) 1 to 2 parts of a resinous organopolysiloxane copolymer per part of (1);(3) a platinum catalyst and,(4) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane crosslinking agent.
Abstract: There are provided substantially trialkylsiloxy terminated polysiloxanes having at least one amino or substituted amino group linked to at least one trifunctional siloxy unit of said polysiloxane through an alkylene or arylene bridge. Emulsions of such polysiloxanes as well as methods for treating fabrics therewith are also provided.
Abstract: The present invention provides curable silicone compositions, comprising:(a) a substantially linear olefinic group-containing polydiorganosiloxane;(b) a resinous olefinic group-containing polysiloxane;(c) a reactive organic monomer;(d) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, and(e) a hydrosilation catalyst.There are also provided articles of manufacture prepared by coating substrates such as optical fibers with said composition as well as methods for making said curable compositions and articles of manufacture.

Abstract: There is provided a method for preventing premature curing of curable silicone compositions comprising admixing with said curable composition an amount of Lewis base effective to neutralize any Lewis acid present therein.
Abstract: There is provided a room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber composition which upon curing to the solid, elastic state exhibits improved adhesion to various substrates, comprising:(a) a polydiorganosiloxane wherein the silicon atom at each polymer chain end has bonded thereto at least two hydrolyzable groups,(b) an effective amount of non-chelate condensation catalyst, and(c) an effective amount of metal chelate adhesion promoter.
Abstract: There is provided a siloxane-imide copolymer composition having at least one polymeric block with a low glass transition temperature and at least one polymeric block with a high glass transition temperature.
Abstract: Acrylated silicone polymers are prepared by reacting limoneneoxide-functional silicones with acrylic acid or a substituted acrylic acid in the presence of a catalyst selected from tetraalkylurea (e.g. tetramethylurea), tetraalkylguanidine (e.g. tetramethylguanide) or mixtures thereof. Adhesion of the resulting ultraviolet light curable compositions to various substrates, especially super calendared kraft papers, can be improved with the addition of N-vinylpyrrolidinone.
