Patent number: 6107351Abstract: The present invention is neutral-aged hydrophobic silica gels having a reduced surface area and a method for their preparation. The method comprises three steps, where in the first step a mixture comprising a silica hydrosol and colloidal silica is contacted with a strong mineral acid at a pH less than about 1 to form a silica hydrogel having incorporated therein colloidal silica. In the second step the silica hydrogel is aged at a pH within a range of about pH 3.5 to pH 8. In the third step the silica hydrogel is contacted with an organosilicon compound in the presence of a catalytic amount of a strong acid to effect hydrophobing of the silica hydrogel to form a hydrophobic silica hydrogel having a surface area within a range of about 100 m.sup.2 /g to 450 m.sup.2 /g in the dry state.

Patent number: 6095231Abstract: A permanently mounted vehicle shade draws a blind across an aperture that is formed by the vehicle chassis, in order to shade the vehicle interior. To do this, a pair of hollow guide tracks are mounted on the chassis opposite the aperture from each other. For each guide track, a carriage is threaded onto a drive screw, and the drive screw is coaxially mounted for rotation within the hollow of the track. Each guide track also has a longitudinal slot, and each end of the rod is inserted into a respective slot and attached to a respective carriage. This positions the rod across the aperture. Next, a supply roller is permanently mounted on the vehicle chassis parallel to the rod. One end of the blind is attached to the rod, and the other end is attached to the supply roller. For operation, the drive screws are selectively rotated in unison. The rotation of the drive screws is converted into translational motion of the carriages, to move the attached rod and draw the blind across the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Inventor: Matthew Richard Hahn

Patent number: 6051672Abstract: A method for making hydrophobic non-aggregated colloidal silica comprising reacting an aqueous suspension of a hydrophilic non-aggregated colloidal silica having an average particle diameter greater than about 4 nm with a silicon compound at a pH less than about pH 4 in the presence of a sufficient quantity of a water-miscible organic solvent to facilitate contact of the hydrophilic non-aggregated colloidal silica with the silicon compound. The method is conducted at a temperature within a range of about 20.degree. C. to 250.degree. C. for a period of time sufficient to form a hydrophobic non-aggregated colloidal silica. The hydrophobic non-aggregated colloidal silicas prepared by the present method are particularly useful as fillers in silicone compositions such as adhesives, rubbers, and sealants.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1998Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Dow Corning CorporationInventors: Gary Thomas Burns, Jon Vierling DeGroot, Jr., James Richard Hahn, Daniel Anton Harrington, Patricia Ann Moore
