  • Patent number: 11633984
    Abstract: A method for preparing a modified rubber introduces a reactive group into a high-performance short fiber by irritating the short fiber by ultraviolet light, and modifies the short fiber by a coupling agent to increase the compatibility of the short fiber with a rubber matrix, and finally, utilizes the charge repulsion of sodium lauryl sulfate to effectively avoid the agglomeration of the short fibers in the rubber matrix, which is benefit for obtaining the modified rubber. The present disclosure further provides a modified rubber prepared by the method and a bulletproof and puncture resistant tire prepared by the modified rubber, wherein a buffer layer is made by the modified rubber, and at least one of a tread, a belt ply and an inner liner is made by the modified rubber, and a cord ply is woven by twisted high-performance long fibers.

  • Patent number: 11214679
    Abstract: A polyurea additive is provided that strengthens a given base sheet molding composition (SMC) An isocyanate containing species and an amine containing species are introduced into an uncured polymeric resin of a sheet molding compound (SMC) under conditions suitable for the formation of a polyurea polymer network. Upon cure of the SMC base resin, an interpenetrating network is formed that is stronger than the base SMC absent the polyurea. As a result, an article is formed from the SMC that is stronger at the same dimensions than a conventional article or thinned to achieve the same properties to obtain a lightweight article compared to that formed from conventional SMC. The properties of the article are also attractive relative to aluminum for the formation of vehicle body and exterior panels.

    Abstract: A laser-engraveable flexographic printing precursor or patternable element comprises a laser-engraveable layer having two orthogonal dimensions. This laser-engraveable layer comprises one or more elastomeric resins and non-metallic fibers that are oriented in the laser-engraveable layer predominantly in one of its two orthogonal dimensions. The non-metallic fibers have an average length of at least 0.1 mm and an average diameter of at least 1 ?m. The oriented non-metallic fibers reduce curl and shrinkage in the precursor and improve print quality and press life.

    Abstract: A fire retardant molding contains a thermoplastic compound and an inorganic flameproof agent that is mixed with the thermoplastic compound and which acts by separating from water, having a proportion in the range of 10 wt % to 90 wt %. The fire retardant molding is produced by mixing the thermoplastic material with an inorganic flame-proofing agent, the flame-proofing agent having a proportion in the range of 20 wt % to 80 wt %, and by outputting the compound obtained by mixing, in particular as a flat product. The fire retardant molding is advantageously used, for example, in or on land-based vehicles, water-based vehicles, aircraft and buildings.

  • Patent number: 8314164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a curable rubber composition comprising an organic elastomer, a filler and at least one curing agent for the elastomer. Such curable rubber compositions are widely used in the production of cured rubber articles, such as tires, belts and hoses. The composition contains a branched silicone resin having Si-bonded hydroxyl groups or azo groups. This may lead to a reduction in the mixing energy required for processing, particularly in the energy required in the first (non-productive) mixing phase to give good dispersion of the filler in the organic elastomer. Use of the branched silicone resin can also accelerate cure (vulcanization), thus reducing the required cure time or reducing the amount of cure accelerator required.
