Filed:

Jan 31, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/307296

Inventors:

Jeffrey M. Wilson - Tulsa OK, US
Michael R. Kessler - Ames IA, US
Roger Walker - Tulsa OK, US

Assignee:

The University of Tulsa - Tulsa OK

International Classification:

B32B 15/092

US Classification:

428418, 428332, 428413, 523179, 523466, 523468, 252606

Abstract:

An intumescent coating in the form of an initially liquid coating which cures to a solid and adheres to a substrate. The coating includes a flexible thermosetting epoxy, such as diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), with an aliphatic amine curing agent, expandable graphite flakes with reagent chemicals that react upon heating and decompose into gaseous products, and fumed silica. In the presence of heat or flame, an intumescent layer develops at the coating surface, insulating the substrate. The coating is found to add intumescent characteristics which provide heat resistant and fire retardant qualities.

International Classification:

C08F 122/20
C09J 135/02

Abstract:

The present invention relates to tackifier compounds and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a tackifier compound including independently substituted or unsubstituted fused rings A and B each independently chosen from (C-C)cycloalkyl and (C-C)heterocyclyl. Fused ring A is substituted with (R)and fused ring B is substituted with —(OC(O)R′C(O)R). At each occurrence R′ is independently chosen from (C-C)alkanylene, (C-C)alkenylene, (C-C)alkynylene, C-C(arylene), and (C-C)heteroarylene, wherein R′ is unsubstituted or substituted. At each occurrence Ris independently selected from —OH, —OR, and —OC(O)R′C(O)R. At each occurrence Ris independently chosen from —OH, —OR, —NH, —NHR, and —NR. At each occurrence Ris independently chosen from (C-C)alkanyl, (C-C)alkenyl, (C-C)alkynyl, C-C(aryl), and (C-C)heteroaryl, wherein Ris unsubstituted or substituted.

International Classification:

C09K 19/38
C08G 59/42
C08G 59/68
C08G 59/28

Abstract:

Liquid crystalline network compositions comprising azo-containing aromatic epoxy units cross-linked with alkylene diacid units having alkylene segments containing at least one methylene unit, wherein the azo-containing aromatic epoxy units and alkylene diacid units are connected by ester linkages resulting from ring-opening esterification between the epoxy units and alkylene diacids, and wherein the azo-containing aromatic epoxy units and alkylene diacid units are in a molar ratio that results in the liquid crystalline network composition exhibiting a glass transition temperature (T) of at least 25 C. Methods for producing these compositions and their use in light- or thermal-activated physical deformation, shape memory applications, and self-healing, as well as their ability to be recycled and used in additive manufacturing processes are also described.
