Patent number: 7868067Abstract: One aspect of the current invention is a halogen containing epoxy composition and a method of producing the same. A functional halogen group, fluorine in one case, is incorporated into an epoxy coating by using a functionalized amine curing agent in small amounts. Functionalized amine curing agents are cheaper and easier to produce from small amine precursors when compared to the cost and complexity of functionalizing bulky epoxy resins. Amine curing agents are incorporated into a cured epoxy network. However, many functional groups will affect the reactivity of the curing reaction due to electronegativity effects. By using small amounts of functionalized amines with a large amount of non-functionalized agent, the effect is small and in the case of migration, it can be advantageous for tribological, mechanical and other properties of epoxies and epoxy-containing materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: University of North TexasInventors: Bryan Bilyeu, Witold Brostow, Kevin Menard

Patent number: 6660386Abstract: A primer for flame sprayed polyolefin comprises an epoxy resin, preferably of low molecular weight and/or low viscosity; and an amine hardener, part of which becomes highly reactive on exposure to open flame, providing near instant cure of the composition under flame spray conditions. The invention is unique that it provides strong adhesion to steel, even where the surface preparation is less than ideal, as well as to concrete and other substrates. The primer eliminates the need to preheat the substrate. The primer has strong adhesion to the topcoat polyolefinic material, especially to a functionalized topcoat. The composition withstands open flame and does not char under polyolefin flame spray conditions, nor does it run or sag, and it is not prone to failure as it cools after the application of the polyolefin.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Polymer Ventures, L.L.C.Inventor: Shah A.

Patent number: 6583528Abstract: A flywheel system for storing and delivering on demand electrical energy includes a flywheel supported for high speed rotation on bearings in a vacuum enclosure, and a motor-generator for spinning the flywheel up to speed and then for converting the rotational inertia in the flywheel back to electrical power. The flywheel includes a solid steel hub and a rim having only two rings press-fit on the hub with an interference fit. The rings are filament wound construction made primarily from standard modulus carbon fiber/epoxy. The steel hub stores between 40% and 60% of the energy in the flywheel. The press-fitting of the rings on the hub creates radial interference pressure between the hub and each of the composite rings that is greater than 5 ksi when at rest. The outer carbon fiber/epoxy ring is radially thinner than the inner ring, and both the hub outer diameter and the inner diameter of the assembled composite rim are tapered with the same angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Indigo Energy, Inc.Inventor: Christopher W.
