  • Novel route to Ca.sub.8 Si.sub.4 O.sub.12 Cl.sub.8, alkoxycyclotetrasiloxanes, aryloxycyclotetrasiloxanes, alkylcyclotetrasiloxanes and arylcyclotetrasiloxanes from wollastonite (Ca SiO.sub.3)
    Patent number: 4824985
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of alkoxy, aryloxy, alkyl, and aryl cyclotetrasiloxanes from a metal silicate halide salt, Ca.sub.8 Si.sub.4 O.sub.12 Cl.sub.8.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 11, 1987
    Date of Patent: April 25, 1989
    Assignee: Dow Corning Corporation
    Inventors: George B. Goodwin, Malcolm E. Kenney
  • Recording information media comprising chromophores
    Patent number: 4725525
    Abstract: Provided is an information recording medium and a method for recording information thereon. The information layer of the recording medium comprises a naphthalocyanine chromophore, e.g., a sulfonamidonaphthalocyanine having silicon or germanium as the central hetero atom. Information can thereby be readily recorded via a thermal deformation technique due to the effective absorption by the dye of light in the wavelength range of about 760-850 nm. The naphthalocyanine chromophores exhibit excellent chemical and photolytic stability, their use thereby increasing the useful life of the recording medium.Provided herein are also novel naphthalocyanine chromophore compounds which are useful in optical recording media, and which exhibit exceptional solubility characteristics. Such chromophores are thereby readily applied as a film in the formulation of an information recording medium.
