  • Method of Manufacturing Gypsum Board with Improved Fire Resistance
    Publication number: 20220282484
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of manufacturing gypsum board as well as the resulting gypsum board. The method comprises providing a gypsum slurry with a shrinkage-reducing additive comprising a metal salt of an acid, a silica, or a mixture thereof. As a result, the gypsum board includes gypsum and a shrinkage-reducing additive comprising a metal salt of an acid, a silica, or a mixture thereof. The gypsum board exhibits an area shrinkage of less than 10%.

  • Backfilled, self-assembled monolayers and methods of making same
    Patent number: 7553547
    Abstract: Backfilled, self-assembled monolayers and methods of making the same are disclosed. The self-assembled monolayer comprises at least one functional organosilane species and a substantially random dispersion of at least one backfilling organosilane species among the functional organosilane species, wherein the functional and backfilling organosilane species have been sequentially deposited on a substrate. The method comprises depositing sequentially a first organosilane species followed by a backfilling organosilane species, and employing a relaxation agent before or during deposition of the backfilling organosilane species, wherein the first and backfilling organosilane species are substantially randomly dispersed on a substrate.
