Patent number: 10647831Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to a polymeric material for use in accommodating intraocular lenses for implantation in a lens chamber of a subject's eye. The present disclosure is directed to a polymeric material which comprises a fluorosilicone polymer and a silica component.

Also disclosed are active energy beam curable compositions, such as actinically curable compositions, that can be cured without using a photopolymerization initiator, or with the use of a small amount thereof. This object is achieved by the presence of surface treated inorganic oxide microparticles. Such particles are obtained by reacting an alkoxysilane compound (a1) represented by the Formula (1) below and inorganic oxide microparticles (a2) in the presence of water and an organic solvent: (P—SiO3/2)1-a(P—Si(R0)O2/2)a(O1/2R3)z (1) in which P denotes a maleimide containing group, R3 denotes a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, R0 denotes a monovalent organic group, a is 0 or a positive number and satisfies 0?a <1, and z is a positive number and satisfies 0.1 ?z ?2.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Toagosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazumasa Inata, Eiichi Okazaki

Tire with rubber component containing combination of carbon black, silica and functionalized mineral
Patent number: 8415426Abstract: A tire is provided having a component comprised of a rubber composition containing at least one conjugated diene-based elastomer and a combination of rubber reinforcing fillers composed of rubber reinforcing carbon black, precipitated silica and granular functionalized mineral comprised of at least one of aluminum hydrate (ALOOH) and titanium dioxide. The granular mineral is functionalized by pretreatment with a coupling agent. The granular mineral fillers are pretreated with a coupling agent to promote a combination of rubber reinforcing effect for the mineral fillers and to promote a hydrophobation of the mineral fillers to promote their dispersability in the rubber composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Kuo-Chih Hua, Ling Du -

Patent number: 8357733Abstract: The present invention provides a process for making silica-filled rubber masterbatch using silica hydrophobated with a trimethoxy silane coupling agent that is soluble in an alcohol-water solution containing at least about 70 wt % water. One embodiment uses a mixture of trimethoxy silanes, one or more of which react with rubber to bond the silica to the rubber, and one or more of which do not react with rubber, but do hydrophobate the silica. Hydrophobated silica is mixed with latex polymer and incorporated into rubber during coagulation of the latex, which is preferably coagulated with calcium chloride. The present invention further provides a process for making the trimethoxy silane coupling agents. Preferred trimethoxy silane coupling agents include bis-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-disulfide and bis-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-tetrasulfide.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignees: Industrias Negromex, S.A. de C.V., Cooper Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Peter J.
