  • Stereolithography resins and methods
    Publication number: 20080070159
    Abstract: Radiation curable resin compositions are provided that are most useful in stereolithography. A radiation curable resin includes a base oligomer, a cross linking agent, a reactive solvent, and an anti-nucleation agent. The resin after curing provides a solid product that has improved physical properties.

  • Corrosion-resistant composition of matter having enhanced thermal conductivity, heat exchangers made therefrom, and method of making same
    Patent number: 6465561
    Abstract: The invention includes compositions containing resins (particularly linear crystal polymers) and carbon (particularly impervious graphite) that are made through injection molding and like processes. The compositions produced have enhanced anisotropic thermal conductivity, can have complex shapes as produced by molding that includes lost cores, and are corrosive resistant. The enhanced thermal conductivity can be utilized in applications such as heat exchangers.
