Publication number: 20090241504Abstract: The present invention relates to an inorganic solid-phase combined powder, a master batch and a method for manufacturing the same, a fiber and a method for manufacturing the same. The method for manufacturing the fiber includes: mixing and melting the high polymer carrier section and the master batch comprising inorganic solid-phase combined powder, executing a cooling to form a high-speed spinning pre-oriented yarn fiber after spinning and oiling the high-speed spinning pre-oriented yarn fiber; manufacturing the oiled high-speed spinning pre-oriented yarn fiber into a draw textured yarn fiber by means of an inner drafting heating false twisting method, and oiling the draw textured yarn fiber. A fiber manufactured by the above method includes the following constituents in percentage by weight: 10-20% the master batch and 80-90% the high polymer carrier section.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Inventor: YANPING LIU

Publication number: 20090230352Abstract: A composition that when cured possesses high temperature, chemical and abrasion resistance, and which can be formed into shapes, used as binder for aggregate fibers, sand or the like, or used to repair hard surfaces. The composition has a first part that is a slurry of an alkali metal silicate solution, such as lithium silicate, sodium silicate or potassium silicate, alone or in combination, combined with a non-reactive alkali metal, such as a silica flour or powder. The second part of the composition is a mixture of sodium silicofluoride, silica fume and sodium borate. A small amount of boric acid may be added to the second part to slow the curing reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2009Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventor: Bo H. Gimvang

Publication number: 20090233087Abstract: An electrostatic chuck that is a member for a semiconductor-manufacturing apparatus contains an yttrium oxide material containing first inorganic particles and second inorganic particles. The first inorganic particles form solid solutions in yttrium oxide, can be precipitated from yttrium oxide, and are present in grains of yttrium oxide. The second inorganic particles can form solid solutions in the first inorganic particles, are unlikely to form any solid solution in yttrium oxide, and are present at boundaries between the yttrium oxide grains. The first inorganic particles contain at least one of ZrO2 and HfO2. The second inorganic particles contain at least one selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO. The yttrium oxide material is produced in such a manner that solid solution particles are prepared by mixing and firing the first and second inorganic particles and are mixed with yttrium oxide and the mixture is fired.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2009Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: NGK Insulators, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshimasa KOBAYASHI, Yuji Katsuda
