| 20100324187 | Silicone Resin Composites for High Temperature Durable Elastic Composite Applications and Methods for Fabricating Same - This invention relates to composites for use in high temperature elastic composite applications. Most particularly, this invention relates to elastic composites formed with a silanol-silanol condensation reaction mixture of silsesquioxane silicone resins thermally stabilized by boron nitride, silica and boron oxide additives as their matrix. The polymer matrix composite comprise a matrix of cured high, intermediate and optionally low molecular weight silicone resins including boron nitride and silica additives and reinforcing material. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100320700 | Red Heat Exhaust System Silicone Composite O-Ring Gaskets and Method for Fabricating Same - This invention extends the elastic range of silicone composite gaskets from typically −40 to 300° C. (Reference I) to temperatures within the “red heat”, Le, 600 to 1000° C. applications The composite gaskets comprise a matrix of cured methyl and/or phenyl-silsesquioxane resins, boron oxide, boron oxide and silica additives and a reinforcing material that enables highly thermally stable elastic composites to be fabricated into durable composite exhaust system gaskets The invention offers the most economical and proven durable solution to the current high temperature sealing problems (Reference 2) and cost of current traditional multi-layer steel gaskets The method for making the composite gaskets comprises applying the above resin blend to continuous or discontinuous fiber reinforcing material and curing the resin | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100319656 | Internal Combustion (IC) Engine Head Assembly Combustion Chamber Multiple Spark Ignition (MSI) Fuel Savings Device and Methods of Fabrication Thereof - This invention describes how a blend of silicon polymers, mixed with the right combination of fillers applied to fiber reinforcement laminated with an embedded circuit and laser cut into vacuum formable preforms enables the production of “red heat” durable flexible ceramic multiple spark ignition devices which are vacuum formed into the head combustion chamber of IC engines for realizing fuel savings from up to 33% increased combustion efficiency. The MSI device also comprises a spark plug which is made with the steel adjustable grounding gap section removed. The spark plug electrode alignment for the fuel injectors is also used to align the spark plug electrode to insert during assembly into the MSI device (see FIG. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100304152 | FIRE RESISTANT FLEXIBLE CERAMIC RESIN BLEND AND COMPOSITE PRODUCTS FORMED THEREFROM - High heat resistant elastic composite laminates, sealants, adhesives, and coatings developed from a resin blend. The resin blend is made up of methyl and optionally phenyl silsequioxane resins selected to produce silanol-silanol condensation silicone polymers formed in a slowly evolving reaction mass containing submicron boron nitride, silica and boron oxide fillers. The required ratio of submicron boron nitride to silica has been discovered for assuring the formation of a high temperature resistant elastic composite blend that will form intermediate flexible ceramic products up to 600 deg C., then continue to form preceramic then dense ceramic products from 600 to 1000 deg C. The thermal yield of the composite is generally greater than 90 wt. % at 1000 deg C. Composite products with different levels of heat transformation can be fabricated within the same product depending upon the thickness of the layers of reinforcement. | 12-02-2010 |
