  • Fibers coated with triozine polymers
    Patent number: 4133937
    Abstract: Soluble, curable triazine polymers are prepared by first polymerizing an aliphatic nitrile at a temperature of about 80 to about 450.degree. C in the presence of a catalyst such as a metal chloride to form a B-stage polymer, treating the B-stage polymer with a solvent such as diethyl ether to remove unreacted nitrile and finally extracting the soluble, curable triazine polymer from the thus-treated B-stage material with an alcohol, such as methanol. On heating, the soluble triazine polymers can be cured to form thermally-stable, insoluble, infusible polymeric materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 1977
    Date of Patent: January 9, 1979
    Assignee: Texaco Inc.
    Inventor: Gordon H. Miller
  • Thermoplastic compositions containing triazine polymer coated reinforcing agents
    Patent number: 4125513
    Abstract: Soluble, curable triazine polymers are prepared by first polymerizing an aliphatic nitrile at a temperature of about 80.degree. to about 450.degree. C in the presence of a catalyst such as a metal chloride to form a B-stage polymer, treating the B-stage polymer with a solvent such as diethyl ether to remove unreacted nitrile and finally extracting the soluble, curable triazine polymer from the thus-treated B-stage material with an alcohol, such as methanol. On heating, the soluble triazine polymers can be cured to form thermally-stable, insoluble, infusible polymeric materials. Thermoplastic compositions may be reinforced with the cured triazine polymer coated reinforcing agents.

  • Method of continuous production of super conducting wire
    Patent number: 4098920
    Abstract: A method of continuously producing a super conductive intermetallic compound. It includes passing a filament of a metallic substrate through a high temperature plating chamber. The filament is heated electrically to a higher temperature while plating gases of the metals which make up the intermetallic compound are introduced in the form of halides of such metals along with sufficient hydrogen to complete a chemical change which plates the superconductor on the filament.
