  • Patent number: 7566501
    Abstract: An epoxy resin composition for printed wiring boards which comprises an epoxy resin, a phenolic novolak, a curing accelerator, and a silica filler, characterized in that the silica filler has a shape having at least two planes and has an average particle diameter of 0.3 to 10 ?m and a specific surface area of 8 to 30 m2/g. The epoxy resin composition has a higher apparent viscosity than the resins and can hence be inhibited from sagging in a drying oven. This composition retains the intact property of infiltration into reinforcements because the viscosity of the resins themselves has not increased locally. The composition hence produces the effect of improving the appearance of a prepreg.

  • Patent number: 7449241
    Abstract: An organic coating composition is described, which can be used to enrich the surface region of a metal-based substrate with aluminum. The composition comprises an aluminum-based powder and at least one organic resin, e.g., alkyds, epoxies, or silicone materials. At least some of the aluminum-based powder is in the form of substantially spherical powder particles. The coating composition is substantially free of hexavalent chromium. It can be applied to the substrate by a variety of techniques, such as spraying. It is then heat-treated, to cause diffusion of aluminum into the surface region of the substrate, e.g., a turbine engine component. The composition exhibits good thermal and chemical stability for extended periods of time. Related articles are also described.
