Abstract: A method is provided for making silicone-polyphenylene ether graft copolymers by oxidatively coupling a 2,6-dialkylphenol to a monophenol substituted organopolysiloxane macromer which can be prepared by the hydrosilylation of a phenol having a nuclear bound aliphatically unsaturated radical and a monohydrogen organosiloxane.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of certain silicon hydrides having at least two hydrogen atoms attached to silicon in particular heat curable platinum catalyzed silicone coating formulations, which permits the use of a reduced level of inhibitor and improved cure performance.

Abstract: A method is provided for using ultrasonic energy to effect the rapid cure of one-part and two-part curable silicone compositions comprising a vinyl silicone, a silicon hydride siloxane and an effective amount of a platinum group metal catalyst.

Abstract: Methyl silicone resins are pyrolized in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form a translucent glass comprised of silicon, oxygen and carbon where silicon atoms are chemically bonded to carbon and oxygen atoms, but there are essentially no chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms. The translucent silicon-oxy-carbide glasses of this invention resist devitrification and decomposition in oxidizing or reducing atmospheres at temperatures of about 1250.degree. C. or greater. Methods for forming silicon-oxy-carbide glass articles are disclosed, along with specific methods for forming silicon-oxy-carbide glass fibres, composites, and cellular structures.

Abstract: "Acrylic weld" of a silicone release composition comprising a polydiorganosiloxane containing unsaturated groups, a crosslinking agent containing Si--H groups and a hydrosilation catalyst is inhibited by incorporating therein at least one free radical inhibitor. The preferred inhibitors are alkoxyphenols, especially 4-methoxyphenol.

Abstract: Curable silicone caulk compositions are provided using a nonionically stabilized silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane, water, a silane cross-linker, a tin condensation catalyst, and calcium carbonate.

Abstract: UV curable epoxysilicone compositions are provided which can be used to impart improved release characteristics to plastic or paper substrates in an odor-free manner. Polyaryloniumhexafluorometalloid salts are used as photoinitiators. The UV curable compositions have condensed epoxyorganosiloxy units and haloarylalkylsiloxy units and have been found to be effective as control release agents when blended with epoxysiloxanes.

Abstract: UV curable controlled release compositions are provided. An epoxy silicone fluid and a cationically polymerizable styrene compound, such as vinyl anisole, which is substantially miscible with the epoxy silicone fluid, is used in combination with an effective amount of a photoactive aromatic onium salt.

Abstract: A method is provided for enhancing the controlled release characteristics of paper or plastic substrates by applying onto the substrate, a UV curable mixture of an epoxysilicone, an arylonium salt catalyst, such as a diaryliodoniumhexafluoroantimonate and a controlled release additive such as a phenolpropyl-substituted methyldisiloxane or an alkylphenol, such as dodecylphenol. The treated plastic or paper substrate is then subjected to UV irradiation to effect a tack-free cure of the UV curable mixture on the substrate.

Abstract: Certain bissilyl ureas have been found useful as adhesion promoters for silicone latex compositions. Self-bonding silicone elastomers are provided which exhibit enhanced adhesion to a variety of substrates.

Abstract: Polyalkoxysilyl-terminated polydiorganosiloxanes which are relatively stable in viscosity over prolonged storage periods are prepared by endcapping a silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acidic amine salt which subsequently decomposes to substantially inert products, preferably an amine salt of formic acid, and in the absence of silicon-nitrogen compounds and enoxysilanes normally used as catalyst quenchers and scavengers. The products are useful for the preparation of scavenger-free room temperature vulcanizable compositions, particularly when combined with certain N-alkoxy-silylalkyl-substituted compounds as adhesion promoters.

Abstract: Cyclic aminoalkylsilane compositions are prepared by the reaction of approximately equimolar amounts of an aminoalkyltrialkoxysilane such as 3-aminopropyltrimethoxy-silane and a glycidyl ether such as methyl glycidyl ether.
