  • Compounds useful as chemical precursors in chemical vapor deposition of silicon-based ceramic materials
    Patent number: 5616754
    Abstract: In order to reduce the rate of coke formation during the industrial pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, the interior surface of a reactor is coated with a thin layer of a ceramic material, the layer being deposited by thermal decomposition of a non-oxygen containing silicon-nitrogen precursor in the vapor phase, tin an inert or reducing gas atmosphere in order to minimize the formation of oxide ceramics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 1995
    Date of Patent: April 1, 1997
    Assignee: Enichem S.p.A.
    Inventors: Richard Cruse, Veronika Szalai, Terence Clark, Stephen Rohman, Robert Mininni
  • Ceramic vapor deposited coating using a steam-containing carrier gas and non-alkoxy silane precursors
    Patent number: 5424095
    Abstract: In order to reduce the rate of coke formation during the industrial pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, the interior surface of a reactor is coated with a uniform layer of a ceramic material, the layer being deposited by thermal decomposition of a non-alkoxylated organosilicon precursor in the vapor phase, in a steam containing gas atmosphere in order to form oxide ceramics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 13, 1995
    Assignees: Eniricerche S.p.A., Enichem S.p.A.
    Inventors: Terence Clark, Richard Cruse, Stephen Rohman, Robert Mininni
  • CVD of silicon-based ceramic materials on internal surface of a reactor
    Patent number: 5413813
    Abstract: In order to reduce the rate of coke formation during the industrial pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, the interior surface of a reactor is coated with a thin layer of a ceramic material, the layer being deposited by thermal decomposition of a non-oxygen containing silicon-nitrogen precursor in the vapor phase, in an inert or reducing gas atmosphere in order to minimize the formation of oxide ceramics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 1993

  • Moldable polyblends
    Patent number: 5041493
    Abstract: A moldable polyblend of an aromatic polycarbonate, a polyester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, an elastomeric rubber, and a polylactone, which polylactone is present within the range of from about 1.0 to about 10 weight % of the polyblend.
    Type: Grant
