Patent number: 8574773Abstract: A battery electrolyte solution contains from 0.01 to 80% by weight of an aromatic phosphorus compound. The aromatic phosphorus compound provides increased thermal stability for the electrolyte, helping to reduce thermal degradation, thermal runaway reactions and the possibility of burning. The aromatic phosphorus compound has little adverse impact on the electrical properties of the battery, and in some cases actually improves battery performance.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: David R.

Patent number: 5776374Abstract: The present invention relates to crosslinkable thermoplastic compositions comprising a plurality of crosslinkable moieties, capable of undergoing addition polymerization, incorporated by functionalization of the precursor poly(hydroxy ethers). The poly(hydroxy ethers) comprise recurring moieties derived from aromatic dihydroxy compounds. The crosslinkable polymeric compositions are crosslinked to obtain crosslinked thermoset polymeric compositions of the invention. The polymeric compositions of the inventions can be suitably used either as an active guiding layer, and/or as a NLO active upper and lower cladding layers in an electro-optic device. The polymeric compositions can also be used as non-NLO polymers for the upper and lower cladding layers, prior to orientation by the application of an electric field.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1995Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Mark D. Newsham, Michael N. Mang, Robert J. Gulotty, Jr., Dennis W. Smith, Jr.
