  • Polymerisable compositions
    Patent number: 5578673
    Abstract: A polymeric dispersant having a low T.sub.g polymer component, e.g. polybutadiene, and a pendant silylated group with hydrolysable groups capable of associating with and dispersing. finely divided inorganic fillers. Curable compositions containing the polymeric dispersant can be cured into composite materials having improved resistance to stress induced by thermal cycling.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: November 26, 1996
    Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLC
    Inventors: David P. Ashton, Geraldine A. Moorman, Roger N. Rothon

  • Polymerisable compositions
    Patent number: 5519081
    Abstract: Highly filled, curable compositions containing a curable liquid, e.g. methyl methacrylate; 20 to 80% by weight of a finely divided inorganic filler of defined particle size, e.g. silica; a functionalized polymer containing a low Tg component which is soluble in the curable liquid, e.g. a functionalized vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block copolymer; and other components which diperse the filler in the curable liquid and couple the filler to the matrix can be used to produce cured composites which show improved resistance to stress induced by thermal cycling.

    Abstract: Highly filled, curable compositions containing a curable liquid, e.g. methyl methacrylate; 20 to 80% by weight of a finely divided inorganic filler of defined particle size, e.g. silica; a non-functionalized polymer containing a low Tg component which is soluble in the curable liquid, e.g. a non-functionalized vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block copolymer; and other components which diperse the filler in the curable liquid and couple the filler to the matrix can be used to produce cured composites which show improved resistance to stress induced by thermal cycling.
