Abstract: An acidic dispersion of colloidal silica and hydroxylated silsesquioxane in an alcohol-water medium is coated onto solid substrates, such as acrylic lenses, to provide an abrasion resistant coating.
Abstract: Suppression of convulsions in warm-blooded animals is accomplished by administration of diphenylsilanes of the formula .phi..sub.2 SiX.sub.2 in which X is a hydroxyl group or one of several readily hydrolyzable radicals, such as the methoxy group.
Abstract: A method for altering the reproductive function of mammals by administering a pharmacologically effective amount of certain fluoroalkyl-substituted organosilicon compounds. As a means of illustration, one can orally or parenterally administer from 1.0 mg. to 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight (either as a single dose or as a daily dosage over a period of time) of an organosilicon compound of the formula ##STR1## thereby rendering the subject (either a male or female mammal) infertile.
Abstract: An acidic dispersion of colloidal silica and hydroxylated silsesquioxane in an alcohol-water medium is coated onto solid substrates, such as acrylic lenses, to provide an abrasion resistant coating.
Abstract: Adhesion of thermoplastic elastomers, such as unvulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber, to a solid substrate is obtained by using a primer containing a tackifier component, such as hydrogenated rosin or a coumarone-indene resin, and an amino-functional trihydrolyzable silane, partial condensates and hydrochloride salts thereof in which the amino-functionality is in the form of a primary or secondary amine.
Abstract: Pigments are incorporated in an acidic dispersion of colloidal silica and hydroxylated silsesquioxane in an alcohol-water medium to provide paint compositions.
Abstract: Certain aluminum compounds, such as aluminum alkoxides, chelates and acylates, catalyst the reaction of .tbd.SiOH with ##EQU1## to yield compositions containing ##EQU2## LINKAGES.

Abstract: A binder composition of colloidal silica and silsesquioxane polymer (RSiO.sub.3 /.sub.2) is applied to fibrous masses from an acidified water-alcohol vehicle to fabricate coherent three-dimensional structures, such as bonded asbestos mats.
Abstract: Platinum-catalyzed mixtures of H(CH.sub.3).sub.2 SiO--(C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.2 SiOSi(CH).sub.2 H and monophenylsiloxy/dimethylvinylsiloxy copolymer cure to give a strong flexible resin having thermal shock resistance.
