A 12-hydroxy stearic acid self condensed reaction product is the preferred dispersant.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sushumna Iruvanti, Keith S. Olsen, Krishna G. Sachdev

Patent number: 5574077Abstract: A microwave-absorbing material composed of blends of polar icosahedral molecular units with a variety of host matrices, or with polymers with the units covalently bonded in a pendant manner to the polymer chain. Both blends and polymers must impart a high degree of orientational mobility to the units so that they can absorb microwave radiation. These materials employ orientationally mobile, polar icosahedral molecular units as the source of dielectric loss at microwave frequencies. Examples of these units are the polar carboranes (ortho- and meta-carborane), polar carboranes with electronegative and/or electropositive substitutes, and polar "buckminsterfullerenes.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1993Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Inventors: Thomas K. Dougherty, Norman H. Harris, James R. Chow, Brian M. Pierce, David A. Whelan

Patent number: 5565513Abstract: A stable, non-aqueous liquid suspension of delayed boron cross-linkers comprises an anhydrous boron compound or a sparingly soluble borate suspended in a mixture of mineral spirits (commonly termed as naphtha) and a resin. Anhydrous boron compounds suitable for suspension include, but are not limited to, anhydrous borax, anhydrous boric acid, or a mixture of both the anhydrous borax and anhydrous boric acid. Sparingly soluble borates suitable for suspension include, but are not limited to, alkaline earth metal borates, alkali metal borates, or a mixture thereof. The mixture between the mineral spirits and resin produces a mineral spirits-resin solution. Alternatively, the mineral spirits may be replaced with a suitable oil which forms an oil-resin solution when mixed with the resin. The oil-resin solution suspends the anhydrous boron compound or the sparingly soluble borate to produce a stable, non-aqueous liquid suspension of delayed boron cross-linkers.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1995Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Benchmark Research & Technology, Inc.Inventors: E. Wayne Kinsey, III, Sharif Sharif, David N. Harry

Patent number: 5541238Abstract: Disclosed is a fiber of an organic, inorganic or metallic material or a simple substance wherein ultrafines of an inorganic or metallic material or a simple substance having an average particle diameter of 0.005-1 .mu.m are uniformly dispersed and deposited on 8-90% of the surface in a single layer. The fiber is produced by exposing a fiber of an organic, inorganic or metallic material or a simple substance to a gaseous stream forming ultrafines of an inorganic or metallic material or a simple substance by a vapor phase process, thereby contacting said ultrafines in the gaseous stream with said fiber in a state wherein the ultrafines are still active. The treated fiber is useful as a reinforcing material for a fiber reinforced composite.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1993Date of Patent: July 30, 1996Assignees: Nisshin Flour Milling Co., Ltd., Kaoru Umeya, Ryobi LimitedInventors: Yukiyoshi Yamada, Tadashi Fuyuki, Eisuke Kuroda, Satoshi Akiyama, Naoto Tonoike, Kaoru Umeya, Kazunobu Ogawa, Kazuya Miyazaki, Hitoshi Nagasaka

Patent number: 5530050Abstract: Blended thermal spray powders are characterized by the presence of a ZrO.sub.2 component and a ceramic coated plastic component. The ceramic coated plastic component is made by attrition milling ceramic fine particles with plastic core particles, causing the ceramic fine particles to bind to the surface of the plastic core without the use of a binder. Abradable coatings formed by thermal spraying the powders have superior high-temperature properties such as heat resistance and yet abrade readily to form abradable seals.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1994Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Sulzer Plasma Technik, Inc.Inventor: Subramaniam Rangaswamy
