Abstract: Preparation and use of organopolysiloxanes having carbinol groups that are bonded to the silicon atom through carbamate-containing groups. These hydrophilic polysiloxanes can be made to completely dissolve in water or behave as amphoteric surfactants by controlling the concentration of the carbinol radicals and the molecular weight of the polysiloxane.

Abstract: Polyol compositions containing methane linkages derived from amino acids. The polyols are obtained from the reaction of the carbonate with the cadres in the amino acids. Individual amino acids or mixtures of amino acids that are prepared from the hydrolysis of the proteins can be used.

Abstract: A process of producing multi-hydroxy polyols, the process comprising providing a biomass material and transamidating the biomass material with an amine selected from the group consisting essentially of a diamine and an alkanolamine, to provide low molecular weight derived amino-acids or derived oligomers of proteins. Thereafter, reacting the derived amino-acids or derived oligomers with a carbonate to provide hydroxyl terminated urethane oligomers.

Abstract: Fuel oxygenates comprised of fatty acid or fatty acid ester derivatives which have been reacted with ozone; a base; and a lower alkanol (1 to 8 carbon atoms) are described. The oxygenates comprise ester groups at a point of cleavage by the ozone which provide oxygen in the oxygenate.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of new polyols and polyesters from a natural oil or other unsaturated fatty acid esters is described. The process involves ozone cleavage of double bonds in the fatty acid chains of the oils along with coupling of a hydroxylated compound such as a mono-alcohol, a diol, or a polyol to the cleaved ends of the molecules resulting from the cleavage with a base. The resulting polyols and polyesters are as intermediates for polymers.

Abstract: A moisture-curable, silane-modified oil is disclosed. The silane-modified oil includes an unsaturated oil having at least one unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon chain per molecule of the unsaturated oil, and at least one hydrolysable silyl group grafted to the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon chain. The silane-modified oil has a degree of unsaturation that is substantially similar that of the unsaturated oil. A process for forming the moisture-curable, silane-modified oil according to the disclosure includes reacting the unsaturated oil with an unsaturated hydrolysable silane in the presence of a free radical initiator. Also disclosed is a cured silane-modified oil which includes the reaction product of the silane-modified oil and water. Compositions according to the disclosure have relatively low viscosities (facilitating their application to a substrate) and have relatively high levels of silane grafting (resulting in non-leaching cured compositions with a high gel content).

Abstract: Nanoparticles of silicon oxide alloys (i.e., oxides of SiMo, SiPt, and SiAl) are produced by laser vaporization of a silicon target and a target of a metal (i.e., Mo, Pt, or Al), in an oxygen containing atmosphere in a diffusion cloud chamber, where the target metal vapors aggregate into novel three-dimensional porous web structures. The structures have a homogeneous composition with a uniform ratio of silicon to the metal.

Abstract: Substrates are rendered water repellent by applying to the substrate a hyperbranched polymer containing a silicon atom made by polymerizing a derivatized aminofunctional organosilicon monomer which is the reaction product of an amine functional silane monomer precursor or an amine functional polysiloxane monomer precursor and a derivative of carbonic acid or a cyclic lactone.

Abstract: What is disclosed herein are new and novel hydrogel soaps and a process for obtaining them which comprises providing surface active agents in a pre-hydrogel mixture, and then forming the hydrogel. The process affords solid soaps which do not change significantly in size during use, have wide varying mechanical properties including high strengths in spite of the very high water content of the soaps, and moreover, unexpectedly provide uniform release of the surfactants and/or detergents slowly over a long period of time.
