Patent number: 10758938Abstract: An inside surface of a hose for use with liquid-cooled cooling plate assemblies and other applications that contain copper (Cu) components is pre-treated with a hydrophobic coating to reduce depletion of a copper corrosion inhibitor (e.g., benzotriazole (BTA)) dissolved in a liquid coolant (e.g., deionized water) that flows through the hose. Exemplary hydrophobic coatings include, but are not limited to, polydialkylsiloxanes such as polydimethylsiloxanes. In one embodiment, a multilayer hose is immersed in a solution containing hydrophobizing siloxane monomers dissolved in a solvent. The coated multilayer hose is then dried to evaporate the solvent. As the solvent evaporates, the siloxane monomers bind together to form the hydrophobic coating. In some embodiments, one or more hoses each provided with a hydrophobic coating interconnect liquid-coolant cooling system components (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 10759918Abstract: Methods are provided for surface-modifying a rubber vulcanizate or a thermoplastic elastomer. The methods allow these rubber vulcanizate or thermoplastic elastomer objects to have a lubricating surface layer chemically fixed thereon, instead of having a resin coating which has drawbacks such as a reduction in lubricity due to e.g. separation or peeling of the coating during movement within a vessel or tract. The present invention relates to a method for surface-modifying an object made of a rubber vulcanizate or a thermoplastic elastomer, the method including: step 1 of forming polymerization initiation points on a surface of the object; and step 2 of radically polymerizing a monomer starting from the polymerization initiation points by irradiation with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm in the presence of an alkali metal salt to grow polymer chains on the surface of the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Shunsuke Kosaka, Yasuhisa Minagawa
