Patent number: 5407987Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic group-pendant polysilanes of the following general formula are described.[(R.sup.1 R.sup.2 Si).sub.k (R.sup.3 R.sup.4 Si).sub.m ].sub.nwherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are, respectively, a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group provided that at least one of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having a polycyclic aromatic group or a biphenyl group. When the polysilane is doped with an oxidative dopant, the polymer is rendered electrically conductive and has thus wide utility in various fields of photoconductive and electrically conductive materials without involving degradation of the polysilane.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1994Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Motoo Fukushima, Eiichi Tabei, Shigeru Mori

Patent number: 5393810Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided which provide improved viscosity reduction of crosslinked hydratable polymer treating fluids in the presence of uncured resin-coated proppants. The uncured resins are generally uncured phenolic or furan resins. The breaker comprises an oxidizing agent to which is added a sequestering agent comprising a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and acrylic acid to sequester at least a portion of any phenolic extracts from said resin that may be present in said treating fluid from contact with the uncured resin.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1993Date of Patent: February 28, 1995Assignee: Halliburton CompanyInventors: Phillip C. Harris, Stanley J. Heath
