Patent number: 7390424Abstract: A ferrite magnetic powder for bonded magnets bonded using a rubber-base resin as binder, which powder is a ferrite magnetic powder containing an alkaline earth metal and having a chlorine content of 0.05 wt % or less and a powder pH of less than 6. The magnetic powder is produced by pulverizing a calcinated product of ferrite composition containing an alkali earth metal, annealing the pulverized ferrite composition to relieve crystal strain, dispersing the annealed powder in water and adding to it a mineral acid, adding a dispersant thereto, and subjecting the dispersion to solid-liquid separation followed by vacuum drying to obtain a ferrite magnetic powder having a chlorine content of 0.05 wt % or less and a powder pH of less than 6.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignees: Dowa Electronics Materials Co., Ltd., Nippon Bengara Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayasu Senda, Shinichi Suenaga, Hideki Katayama

Publication number: 20080128649Abstract: A method of forming nanocomposites within a polymer structure includes exposing a wettable polymer having ion-exchangeable groups pendant therefrom to an aqueous solution of a soluble salt containing metal ions, the metal ions replacing, by ion exchange, the pendant groups on the polymer. After ion exchange, the polymer is repetitively exposed to an oxidizing and/or reducing agent to form metal oxides, metal particles, metallic alloys, or combinations and mixtures thereof, trapped within the polymer structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2007Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: Vivek Mehrotra, Ira Goldberg

Patent number: 7378035Abstract: The present invention relates to a material containing ionic groups that form an ionic pair with a free radical catalyst. In particular, the invention relates to materials that are magnetic, and to the methods of forming such materials. For example, a method of forming paramagnetic particles is disclosed, the method comprising contacting a substance having cationic groups with an aqueous solution of Fe3+ so that all the cationic groups are exchanged for Fe3+, adjusting the pH of the solution to between 9 and 10, to form Fe(III) hydroxide, reducing a portion of the Fe(III) hydroxide to Fe(II) hydroxide to obtain a blend of the Fe(III) hydroxide the Fe(II) hydroxide, and crystallizing the two iron hydroxides to form paramagnetic particles comprising magnetite. The invention also discloses the formation of polymers from the ionic groups within the material. Various applications of the resulting materials are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Polymer Laboratories LimitedInventor: Graham Margetts
