  • Thermoset compositions with dispersed thermoplastic resin therein and process for making them
    Patent number: 8247494
    Abstract: A rubber composition comprising: a cured rubber; and thermoplastic resin, where the thermoplastic resin is in the form of discrete domains dispersed within a continuous phase of the cured rubber, and where the cured rubber includes silicon-containing crosslinks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2012
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.

  • Curing rubber by hydrosilation
    Patent number: 7951871
    Abstract: A method for preparing a thermoplastic vulcanizate, the method comprising dynamically vulcanizing a rubber within a blend that includes the rubber and a thermoplastic polymer, where said dynamically vulcanizing is effected with a cure system that includes a hydrosilating agent and a catalyst, where the hydrosilating agent includes a compound including at least 3 silicon hydride groups defined by the formula where each R is independently a monovalent organic group or hydrogen, and where the silicon atoms of the respective silicon hydride groups are spatially separated by at least 6 atoms.
    Type: Grant
