  • Patent number: 5281635
    Abstract: A homogeneous composition for forming on firing a film of precious metal, which is one or more of platinum, palladium, gold and silver, on a substrate, for instance to decorate table ware, comprises polymeric resin and a solution, in water and a co-solvent, of thiolate of the precious metal, the composition containing 3-22% by weight of the precious metal as the thiolate, and the co-solvent, resin and thiolate being such that as the composition on a substrate dries and is progressively heated in firing, the water evaporates off to leave a homogeneous composition of the resin and thiolate in the co-solvent, then the co-solvent evaporates off to leave a homogeneous composition of the thiolate in the resin, and then the thiolate decomposes to the precious metal while the resin volatilise.

  • Patent number: 5281650
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing sintered shapes, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a green body from a mixture comprising (A) at least one inorganic powder with (B) at least one polymer derived from (a) at least two sulfo monomers or (b) a combination of (i) a sulfo monomer with (ii) at least one monomer selected from acrylic compounds, acrylonitriles, vinyl lactams and vinyl pyrrolidones and maleic acids, anhydrides or salts, provided the mixture is substantially free of polysaccharide; (2) sintering the body. Inorganic shapes made from the compositions of the present invention have relatively high fired densities; small uniform grain sizes; and relatively low porosity. The sulfo polymers of the present invention help disperse the inorganic powder. These polymers improve deagglomeration of the inorganic powder and also help prevent reagglomeration of the powder. The polymers provide divalent ion stability for systems using water containing divalent ions, such as hard water.

  • Patent number: 5238992
    Abstract: A process for preparing solid polymer blends and composites of controlled porosity in microemulsions containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic phases. The microemulsions are prepared with surfactant systems that may include a cosolvent as a part thereof, together with a hydrophilic monomer, or monomers, dissolved in the hydrophilic phase of the microemulsion, and a hydrophobic monomer, or monomers, dissolved in the hydrophobic phase. Polymerization of the monomers thus present is carried out to provide highly uniform dispersions of the resulting polymers in each other. The invention allows for the control of the morphology of the blends, the improvement in compatability of otherwise incompatible polymers, and improvements in the processability of the polymers due to enhanced thermal and mechanical properties.
