  • Enhanced Scratch Resistance of Articles Containing a Combination of Nano-Crystalline Metal Oxide Particles, Polymeric Dispersing Agents, and Surface Active Materials
    Publication number: 20080014357
    Abstract: A film forming composition comprises a resin, a plurality of nanoparticles, a surface active material and a polymeric dispersant. The film forming composition is substantially transparent and is adapted to be combined with a substrate to enhance abrasion resistance. The film forming composition may be used with wood objects including furniture, doors, floors, for architectural surfaces, for automotive articles and finishes, for metal coatings and coil coatings, for plastic articles, and for wipe-on protective treatments.

  • Substantially transparent, abrasion-resistant films containing surface-treated nanocrystalline particles
    Patent number: 6896958
    Abstract: A film-forming composition contains surface-treated nanocrystalline particles dispersed in a cross-linkable resin. A substantially transparent, abrasion-resistant film is formed from the film-forming composition. Processes for preparing the film-forming composition and for preparing a substantially transparent, abrasion-resistant film are also included. The surface-treated nanocrystalline particles may be obtained by treating nanocrystalline particles with one or more siloxane species, such as a siloxane star-graft polymer coating.

  • Controlling thermal coking
    Patent number: 5853565
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling the relative proportion of products produced from a petroleum residuum by thermal coking. Coke yield promoting compounds are identified, and effective attenuating agents are specified. The method can mitigate a coke promoting effect induced by certain surfactants, antifoulants, or fugitive catalysts in thermal coking units. Mitigating the coke yield promoting effect of molybdenum, for example, in a thermal coker permits recovery of a greater proportion of distillate boiling range products.
