Abstract: The invention relates to a device assembly and methods useful for producing molded silicone rubber products from liquid silicone rubber compositions (“LSR”) via injection molding. The methods provide a flexible process to produce faster cured silicone rubber products from LSR and allow for use of low curing temperature in the molding cavities without drastically lowering cure speed of the LSR and the physical properties of the produced molded silicone rubber material, therefore allowing liquid silicone rubber overmolding on or over heat sensitive substrates. The device assembly of the invention allows a faster cycle and the use of precise dosing and mixing units thus creating a flexible process to produce cured silicone rubber products faster from liquid silicone rubber (LSR).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel secondary battery pack with improved thermal management useful for an all-electric vehicle (EV), a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), a hybrid vehicle (HEV), or battery packs used for other vehicles batteries, and more particularly, to the use of a specific material for thermally insulating a secondary battery pack and further minimizing the propagation of thermal runaway within a battery pack.

Abstract: A curable silicone adhesive having improved elongation-at-break and adhesive properties to various substrates, in particular synthetic textiles used in the manufacture of air bags, to be used, for example, as a joint sealer. These silicone compositions provide excellent adhesive properties such as peel strength and cohesive failure when used to seal joints/seams between two pieces of textile fabric. Airbag fabrics using such novel addition curable adhesive silicone compositions are also provided.
