Abstract:
This invention relates to viscoelastic silicone rubber compositions that are the products of the reaction of: (a) a silanol-terminated polyorganosiloxane base; (b) a boron-containing crosslinking agent; and (c) a siloxane bond-forming crosslinking agent. In a viscoelastic silicone rubber composition of the invention some of the crosslinks, the siloxane crosslinks, are permanent and others of the crosslinks, the boron-containing crosslinks, are temporary. Because a fraction of its crosslinks can come apart and then reform, a viscoelastic silicone rubber composition of the invention can relax stress in response to strain and thus adapt to new shapes. The composition has sufficient permanent crosslinks, however, to establish a permanent equilibrium shape to which the composition will eventually return when not subject to any imposed stress. A viscoelastic silicone rubber composition has sufficient temporary crosslinks to give the composition a stiffness that is greater on short timescales than it is on longer timescales.
Abstract:
Bilayer platelet fillers are employed to compensate for a positive coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of an embedding polymeric material, or even to provide a composite structure having a negative CTE to eliminate or alleviate thermomechanical stress and/or delamination during thermal cycling. A bilayer platelet includes two joined layers having different CTEs. The CTE mismatch induces bending of the bilayer platelets, thereby causing cavities at temperatures lower than the joining temperature at which the bilayers are joined. The decrease in the volume of the polymeric material and the bilayer platelets at low temperatures is compensated by an accompanying increase in the volume of the cavities so that the composite structure has a temperature independent volume, a low net CTE, or even a negative CTE.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide: a rubber composition which, when it is applied to a component member (such as a tread) of a tire, exhibits good wear resistance without deteriorating rolling resistance of the tire; a cross-linked rubber composition obtained by cross-linking the rubber composition; and a tire using the rubber composition or the cross-linked rubber composition as a material thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides a rubber composition obtained by blending and kneading a rubber component and hydrated silica together, characterized in that: provided that D represents the average primary particle diameter and LP represents the log differential pore volume at a pore diameter of 30 nm, of the hydrated silica in the rubber composition, D and LP satisfy relationships represented by following formulae (1) and (2). LP>−0.045×D+1.45 (1) D

Abstract:
The method of producing an electrically insulating thermally conductive sheet of the present invention includes the steps of (I) preparing a plurality of sheet materials consisting essentially of a fluororesin containing polytetrafluoroethylene, thermally conductive inorganic particles, and a forming aid; (II) stacking the plurality of sheet materials on one another and rolling the stacked sheet materials together; and (III) removing the forming aid. In the production method of the present invention, the step (I) and the step (II) may be repeated alternately. The sheet material that can be used in the production method of the present invention is, for example, a base sheet obtained by forming a mixture composed of a fluororesin containing polytetrafluoroethylene, thermally conductive inorganic particles, and a forming aid into a sheet, or a laminated sheet obtained by stacking a plurality of base sheets on one another and rolling them together.
