Patent number: 5731360Abstract: An aerogel composite material produced by compression molding of aerogel microspheres (powders) mixed together with a small percentage of polymer binder to form monolithic shapes in a cost-effective manner. The aerogel composites are formed by mixing aerogel microspheres with a polymer binder, placing the mixture in a mold and heating under pressure, which results in a composite with a density of 50-800 kg/m.sup.3 (0.05-0.80 g/cc). The thermal conductivity of the thus formed aerogel composite is below that of air, but higher than the thermal conductivity of monolithic aerogels. The resulting aerogel composites are attractive for applications such as thermal insulation since fabrication thereof does not require large and expensive processing equipment. In addition to thermal insulation, the aerogel composites may be utilized for filtration, ICF target, double layer capacitors, and capacitive deionization.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1996Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Assignee: Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Richard W.

Patent number: 4820576Abstract: A flame-retardant polymer is created by forming a first resin typically by reacting resorcinol with furfural in a ratio of one mole of the former to less than a mole of the latter in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. A resole is then formed by reacting typically phenol with formaldehyde in a ratio of one mole of phenol to more than a mole of the aldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. The first resin and resole are mixed together with a powered oxyborate compound such as zinc borate and allowed to polymerize to form the polymer.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1988Date of Patent: April 11, 1989Assignee: Fiber Materials, Inc.Inventor: Harold E. Duryea

Patent number: 4762860Abstract: An expandable ethylenic or styrenic polymer composition for production of lightly crosslinked foamed polymers and a process for controlling the degree of crosslinking of the polymer prior to extrusion foaming. The control is obtained by use of (a) a reversible gas-yielding crosslinking reaction which is delayed in the foam extrusion line in the presence of gaseous products (alcohols) and (b) added amounts of an alcohol such as an aliphatic alcohol. Suitable crosslinking agents include silanes, azido functional silanes, titanates, and amino compounds.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1986Date of Patent: August 9, 1988Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventor: Chung P. Park
