Patent number: 5977280Abstract: A method of thickening solvents involves reacting (A) an .ident.Si--H containing polysiloxane with (B) an alkene such as an alpha, omega-diene; conducting the reaction in the presence of a platinum catalyst and (C) a solvent; continuing the reaction until a gel is formed by crosslinking and addition of .ident.Si--H across double bonds in the alpha, omega-diene; adding additional solvent and a post cure terminating agent to the gel; and subjecting the solvent, the post cure terminating agent, and the gel to shear force until a paste is formed. The post cure terminating agent is an amino acid ester, preferably a sulfur containing amino acid ester, such as methionine methyl ester, methionine ethyl ester, cysteine methyl ester, cysteine ethyl ester, and cystine dimethyl ester.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Donald Anthony Kadlec, William James Schulz, Jr., Shizhong Zhang

Patent number: 5948427Abstract: Flowable polymeric microparticulate surgical adhesive formulations are provided which can be activated at the site of the repair to produce a cohesive material with tissue bonding properties to adjacent tissues. The formulation may be activated at the site of repair by mechanical shear forces, heat, ultrasound, UV, or other forms of energy directed at the site.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1996Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Point Medical CorporationInventors: Ronald K. Yamamoto, Robert E. Short

Patent number: 5948856Abstract: Curable organosiloxane compositions that cure by a platinum group metal catalyzed hydrosilation reaction to yield machinable elastomers exhibiting a high resistance to erosion contain an alkenyl-functional organosiloxane copolymer as the reinforcing agent together with quartz and organic or inorganic microspheres as the non-reinforcing filler. The concentration and density of the microspheres are preferably within specified limits.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Donnie Ray Juen, Michael G. Krueger, Lawrence Joseph Rapson

Patent number: 5942574Abstract: A method of continuous emulsification that can emulsify high-viscosity organopolysiloxane gums and is capable of continuous mass production. A compounding extruder is used whose barrel 1 contains at least 2 mixing element-equipped shafts 3 installed in parallel. On each shaft elevations and depressions are formed along the axial direction and the elevations and depressions on respective shafts intermesh. Organopolysiloxane gum, emulsifying agent, and water are continuously supplied as starting materials to this compounding extruder, and an organopolysiloxane-in-water emulsion is produced by mixing and homogenizing the starting materials by subjecting them through rotation of the mixing element-equipped shafts to a shearing action at a shear rate of at least 10/second (i.e. 10 reciprocal seconds).Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Dow Corning Toray Silicone Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidehiko Hosokawa, Junichi Maeshima, Fumitaka Suto
