  • Publication number: 20240239961
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a self-healing elastomer, comprising preparing, with respect to the total weight of the self-healing elastomer, 0.1-5 wt. % of boron trioxide (B2O3), 65-90 wt. % of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-OH), 5-30 wt. %, when measured in combined, of polysiloxane precursors, being a first composition comprising a siloxane base, and a second composition comprising a siloxane crosslinker, wherein the ratio by weight of the first composition and the second composition is 1:1 to 50:1; homogeneously mixing B2O3, PDMS-OH, and the first composition, thereby obtaining a mixture, reacting the mixture and the second composition at an elevated temperature ranging from 60° C. to 150° C., endpoints inclusive, thereby obtaining the self-healing elastomer.

  • Patent number: 11891338
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing ceramic-metal composite material, comprises dissolving ceramic powder into water to obtain an aqueous solution of ceramic; mixing metal powder having a multimodal particle size where largest particle size is one fourth of the minimum dimension of a device, with the aqueous solution of ceramic to obtain a powder containing ceramic precipitated on the surface of metal particles; mixing the powder containing ceramic precipitated on the surface of the metal particles, with ceramic powder having a particle size below 50 ?m, to obtain a powder mixture; adding saturated aqueous solution of ceramic to the powder mixture to obtain an aqueous composition containing ceramic and metal; compressing the aqueous composition to form a disc of ceramic-metal composite material containing ceramic and metal; and removing water from the ceramic-metal composite material; wherein ceramic content of the disc is 10 vol-% to 35 vol-%. Alternatively, ceramic-ceramic composite material may be manufactured.
