  • Publication number: 20220135811
    Abstract: Described herein are static dissipating coatings and thermally-stable static-controlled (TSSC) electronic circuits, comprising such coatings. Also described herein are methods of forming such coatings and circuits. In some examples, a static dissipating coating comprises a conductive polymer and a thermally-stable base polymer. The conductive polymer comprises polyaniline and, in some examples, a conductive agent, such as dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (DNNSA), dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA), and/or camphor sulfonic acid (CSA). The thermally-stable base polymer comprises one or more copolymers of butyl-methacrylate, such as poly-butylmethacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate (PBM). The amount of the conductive polymer is specifically controlled to ensure the coating's overall conductivity and thermal stability. In some examples, the conductive polymer concentration is at or less than 25% by weight. The conductivity of the coating is between 10?9 S/cm and 10?6 S/cm even after being exposed to 150° C.

  • Publication number: 20220054694
    Abstract: A system includes an airflow passage and an air purification element. The airflow passage is configured to confine a flow of air and direct the flow of air toward a space. The air purification element is positioned in the airflow passage and configured to produce a peroxide to oxidize contaminants in air flowing through the airflow passage. The air purification element includes a peroxide-generating structure and a matrix containing a peroxide-activating catalyst configured to activate peroxide produced. The air purification element is configured to produce the peroxide from a water vapor and oxygen in the air within the airflow passage when energized by an energy source, and the matrix is configured to allow the contaminants to contact peroxide activated by the peroxide-activating catalyst.

  • Patent number: 10815384
    Abstract: Corrosion inhibition systems, including coated substrates, coating materials and corrosion inhibition compounds, and methods of making the same are disclosed. These systems and methods include corrosion inhibition compounds that are responsive to corrosion at a surface, releasing active inhibitor groups upon a corrosion stimulus. The active inhibitor groups are selected to block corrosion at the surface by inhibiting oxidation reactions, reduction reactions and/or by forming a passivation layer. Corrosion inhibition compounds may be linear polymers that include the inhibitor groups linked together with labile linkages that are disulfide or metal-sulfide bonds.

  • Patent number: 10669033
    Abstract: An example method includes: forming a conductive layer on at least a portion of a surface of a substrate, where the substrate comprises a composite material of an aerodynamic structure, and where the conductive layer is configured to provide a conductive path to conduct an electric current generated by a lightning strike to an electrically-grounded location; depositing an insulating layer on the conductive layer; removing one or more portions of the insulating layer to form respective gaps in the insulating layer and expose corresponding one or more portions of the conductive layer; and forming a resistive-heater layer on the insulating layer such that the resistive-heater layer fills the respective gaps in the insulating layer and contacts the corresponding one or more portions of the conductive layer, such that when electric power is provided to the conductive layer, the electric power is communicated to the resistive-heater layer thereby generating heat therefrom.
