Patent number: 7312271Abstract: Methods are provided for making a solution masterbatch containing a diene elastomer in an organic solvent and a reinforcing silica filler dispersed therein, comprising the steps of (a) mixing a precipitated silica having an average particle size substantially equivalent to an average particle size of a powdered silica, with a diene elastomer in a first organic solvent; and (b) desolventizing the mixture to form a solution masterbatch preparation. The use of such desolventized solution masterbatches in vulcanizable rubber compounds results in excellent processing characteristics with improved dispersion of fillers, including polymeric nanoparticles. The compounds also demonstrate improved properties, including reduced hysteresis.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2005Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Zhong-Ren Chen, Sunji Araki, William M.

Patent number: 7312273Abstract: An improved coating composition for use in providing a glossy finish to various objects comprises from about 80 to about 92 percent by weight of an acrylic emulsion polymer; and from about 5 to about 12 percent of a glycol ether. The composition also includes from about 1 to about 3 percent by weight of a polyethylene wax emulsion; up to about 1% by weight petroleum distillate; and the balance is water. About 3 to about 5 parts by volume of the concentrate is mixed with from about 2 to about 4 parts by volume of water. The composition is sprayed onto the object to be coated.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Inventor: Donald H. Colby

Patent number: 7312274Abstract: A composition is for use with fabricating a ceramic composite stiffening member that defines a T-section. The stiffening member includes a web portion, at least one flange portion, a radius region disposed between the web portion and the at least one flange portion, and a skin member that is secured to the at least one flange portion and the radius region. The composition is a pliable mixture of refractory particles, plasticizers, silica-yielding polymers, and solvents that is applied along the radius region.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2003Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Michael Lee Millard, Robert G.
