  • Ceramic honeycomb structure with applied inorganic skin
    Patent number: 9028946
    Abstract: A skin is applied to a ceramic honeycomb. The skin is formed by applying a skin-forming composition and drying it. The skin-forming composition includes a carrier liquid, colloidal silica and/or colloidal alumina, and an inorganic filler. The filler includes an inorganic fiber. The filler may contain low aspect ratio particles that have the same or nearly the same CTE as the inorganic fiber. The filler may include a small proportion of a low aspect ratio filler particle that has a different CTE than the inorganic fiber.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of making a nanoporous film
    Publication number: 20030165625
    Abstract: Applicants found that selection of reactive nanoparticles as poragens when combined with monomeric precusors to organic, particularly polyarylene or polyarylene ether, matrix materials are effective in obtaining very small pore sizes.
