  • Wear resistant polymers
    Patent number: 8093315
    Abstract: A method of improving the wear resistance of a polymer is disclosed comprising the steps of evenly dispersing an ultrafine inorganic particulate material in the polymer at a loading rate of 0.01 to 20 wt % of the total weight of the particulate polymer composite. The mixing or dispersing is preferably carried out under sub-atmospheric pressure conditions to ensure little or no bubbles form in the mixture prior to curing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2012
    Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
    Inventors: Daniel Bell, Phil Casey, Yesim Gozukara, Anita Hill, James Mardel, Tracey Markley, Pavla Meakin, Chull Hee Oh, Terry Turney

  • Coating composition capable of absorbing uv radiation
    Publication number: 20040180213
    Abstract: A coating composition that is capable of absorbing UV or UV and visible light is disclosed. The coating composition includes a carrier and a pigment dispersed in the carrier. The pigment includes nanoparticles of a UV light absorber such that the coating composition is capable of absorbing UV light up to 360 nm or nanoparticles of a UV and visible light absorber such that the coating composition is capable of absorbing UV and visible light up to 550 nm, and the absorber includes an inorganic material.
