Condensation Reaction Curable Silsesquioxane Resin Composition And Methods For The Synthesis And Cure Thereof

View page
US Patent:
6368535, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Aug 6, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/369413
Inventors:
Dimitris Elias Katsoulis - Midland MI
Bizhong Zhu - Midland MI
Assignee:
Dow Corning Corporation - Midland MI
International Classification:
B29C 7100
US Classification:
264236, 26433111, 427387, 525477, 528 17, 528 18, 528 22, 528 35
Abstract:
A condensation reaction curable silsesquioxane resin composition and methods for its preparation and cure are disclosed. By modifying the silsesquioxane resin with a silyl-terminated hydrocarbon, such as a silphenylene, the resulting silsesquioxane resin has improved strength and toughness without significant loss of modulus.

Hybrid Composite Of Silicone And Organic Resins

US Patent:
7037592, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Feb 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/374802
Inventors:
Bizhong Zhu - Midland MI, US
Herschel H. Reese - Midland MI, US
Dimitris E. Katsoulis - Midland MI, US
John R. Keryk - Midland MI, US
Yuhong Wu - Cambridge MA, US
Frederick J. McGarry - Weston MA, US
Assignee:
Dow Coming Corporation - Midland MI
International Classification:
B32B 13/12
US Classification:
428451, 428524, 428413, 428500, 528 31, 528 32, 528 33
Abstract:
A fiber reinforced composite including layers of fibers, each layer being impregnated with a resin. The layers include in combination a layer of an addition cured silicone resin and a layer of an organic resin. The layers form a hybrid composite having a higher modulus retention at elevated temperatures than the addition cured silicone resin alone. The hybrid composite's mechanical properties are similar to the organic resin composite, but demonstrate enhanced thermal resistance and reduced flammability.

US Patent:
7563515, Jul 21, 2009
Filed:
Oct 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/581765
Inventors:
Robert Ekeland - Midland MI, US
Dimitris Katsoulis - Midland MI, US
Bizhong Zhu - Midland MI, US
Assignee:
Dow Corning Corporation - Midland MI
International Classification:
B32B 9/04
US Classification:
428447, 528 15, 528 32, 528 33, 525477, 525478, 428478
Abstract:
The present invention relates to silicone compositions that can be used to control the interface at which release occurs when a bi-layer or multi-layer structure comprising compositions as separate layers, and a pattern of a different material sandwiched in between, is separated. The present invention further relates to a process that utilizes these compositions to control the transfer or release of patterns deposited on a substrate.

Embossing Toughened Silicone Resin Substrates

View page
US Patent:
7682545, Mar 23, 2010
Filed:
Oct 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/577377
Inventors:
Dimitris Katsoulis - Midland MI, US
Bizhong Zhu - Midland MI, US
Assignee:
Dow Corning Corporation - Midland MI
International Classification:
B28B 3/00
US Classification:
264293, 264299, 264284, 264239
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of embossing a cured silicone resin thermoset substrate to imprint patterns onto the substrate from a master mold comprising (i) stacking a master mold with a cured silicone resin thermoset substrate such that the surface of the master mold containing a feature is facing the silicone resin substrate; (ii) applying pressure to the product of (i) in a press at a temperature slightly higher than the Tg of the silicone resin but lower than the softening point of the master mold; (iii) cooling the product of (ii) and maintaining the pressure on the mold; and (iv) releasing the substrate whereby the feature is imprinted on the silicone resin substrate. Cured silicone resin thermoset substrates offer advantages over the organic thermoplastics in terms of hot embossing lithography by offering a very smooth surface which promotes high fidelity of replication in the micrometer and manometer domain, and requiring no release agent for demolding.
