  • Patent number: 11426924
    Abstract: An additive manufactured article is comprised of at least two adhered layers of extrudates (120) comprised of a thermoset material having therein a phase change material, wherein the phase change material undergoes a phase change at a temperature less than where the thermoset material decomposes. The article may be made by dispensing a mixture comprised of an organic reactive material and phase change material forming extrudates that are 3D printed into an article having multiple layers of extrudates bound together and then allowing the organic reactive material to react forming a thermoset material having therein the phase change material to form the additive manufactured article. The shape of the article may be changed by heating to a temperature above the temperature where the phase change material undergoes a phase change while applying a force and then cooling below the phase change temperature.

  • Patent number: 11180686
    Abstract: The adhesive system of the invention is especially useful in bonding replacement windows into vehicles. They allow for sufficient working time while still realizing a fast drive away time. The adhesive system is comprised of a moisture curable adhesive and a cure accelerator that may be applied using a simple single caulk gun and may be applied at ambient temperatures such as ?10° C. and about 45° C. The cure accelerator is comprised of a polyol having a backbone that has at least one amine in the backbone. The moisture curable adhesive typically is comprised of an isocyanate terminated prepolymer.

  • Patent number: 10967562
    Abstract: An additive elastomeric manufactured part having improved surface finish is made by repeatedly extruding through a nozzle to build up layers of a material comprised of a prepolymer comprised of an isocyanate terminated prepolymer and a filler in an amount such that the material has a shear storage modulus G? of 100,000 to 300,000 Pa measured at an oscillation rate of 1 Hz and a relaxation time of 20 seconds to 360 seconds. It has been discovered that the particular material having these rheological properties is able to improve the surface finish of the additive manufactured part without slumping and is believed to be due to surface flow of material into valleys between the extrudates as they are being built up.

  • Publication number: 20190233335
    Abstract: A porous inorganic additive manufactured article that is comprised of at least two layers of inorganic particulates bound together by a carbon binding phase throughout. The additive manufactured article may be formed by additive manufacturing using a mixture comprised of an organic reactive material and inorganic particulates, wherein the organic reactive material is subsequently reacted to form a thermoset material that forms carbon upon heating that binds the inorganic particulates together to form the porous inorganic additive manufactured article. The porous inorganic additive manufactured article may then be infiltrated with a liquid that is solidified to form a composite article or may be further heated in a differing atmosphere to form a further sintered or reacted porous inorganic article.
