Abstract: Resin compositions useful for filament winding applications comprising an epoxy component including at least one polyepoxide resin curable by heat, an olefinicially unsaturated monomer component including at least one polyolefinically unsaturated monomer curable by actinic radiation, at least one photoinitiator which is not a peroxide, at least one organic peroxide, and a heat activated curing agent for epoxides. The compositions have a viscosity less than about 2000 centipoise (cps) and are capable of retaining this viscosity for at least about 2 hours at a temperature of from about ambient temperature to about 60.degree. C. The resins are capable of being immobilized by actinic radiation exposure and further heat cured without substantial resin drip. One or more organic peroxides are employed, selected from the group of organic peroxides having 10 hour decomposition half lives at temperatures of from about 50.degree. C. to less than about 104.degree. C.

Abstract: Polymerizable acrylic monomer adhesive systems comprising thirty to eighty percent by weight powdered aluminum filler material are disclosed. More specifically, the adhesive compositions comprise at least one polymerizable acrylate monomer system; an effective amount for initiation of a free radical initiator; and elemental (atomized) aluminum metal powder or powdered alumina.

Abstract: A radio frequency device comprising a signal processing means joined to electromagnectic transmission means, and latently susceptible, at the junction of the signal processing means and the electromagnetic transmission means, to adverse operating effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), and/or radio frequency leakage. At this junction is disposed a layer of a material which is blockingly effective against the adverse operating effects, and has a volumetric resistivity of from about 10.sup.-3 to about 2,000 ohm-centimeter.Also disclosed is a corresponding method of assembling a radio frequency device of such type.The invention has utility in application to devices such as impedance matching devices, impedance coupling devices, ground protection devices, radar transceivers, and signal splitters, a prefered application being to cable television junction boxes.

Abstract: Rapid cure polymerizable monomer sealing and bonding compositions are disclosed. The polymerizable compositions comprise at least one polymerizable acrylate monomer system comprising a urethane acrylate monomer having vinyl reactive ends, and at least one hydroxy-terminated, monofunctional, short chain monomer which is soluble in or miscible with the urethane acrylate monomer; an effective amount for initiation of a free radical initiator; and a compatible filler material.

Abstract: Disclosed are cure-to-elastomer compositions comprising: (A) a moderate-to-long chain di or polyfunctional prepolymer having vinyl reactive ends, (B) a cross-link controlling material which is (i) reactive with said moderate-to-long chain di or polyfunctional prepolymer, and (ii) soluble in or miscible with the moderate-to-long chain prepolymer; and (C) a free radical polymerization initiator. The polymerizable compositions of the present invention can be rapidly cured at room or moderate temperature to produce elastomeric materials of high flexibility and appropriate tensile strength.

Abstract: A curable system such as a curable adhesive type system having a relatively long pot life is disclosed.
