Abstract:
A HVAC system of a motor vehicle includes a film having openings defined therein and moveable between open and closed positions. The film regulates airflow by opening and closing apertures defined in a housing of the HVAC system. The film is disposed in a film valve assembly containing first and second rollers that wind and unwind the film. The film includes a substrate that includes a fiber selected from the group of polyester-based fibers, glass-based fibers, and combinations thereof. An elastomeric layer is disposed on the substrate layer. The substrate also includes a silicone layer disposed on the elastomeric layer for minimizing noise created as the film moves between the open and closed positions.
Abstract:
Many types of aerogel materials may be coated with polyorganosiloxane based coating compositions. Several such compositions, coating methods and additional ingredients are described. Such coatings add strength and increase the ability to use such aerogel materials in rugged environments. Various compositions include polyorganosiloxane components, crosslinkers, catalsysts, optional fillers and other compounds.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention describe a roofing component comprising: asphalt, cellulose, stone, thermoset polymer, thermoplastic polymer, metal, ceramic, concrete or a combination thereof; and an aerogel material. Said aerogel material is integral or a distinct separate layer in relation to the component.

Abstract:
The present invention describes thermal management systems for high temperature events comprising: an insulating layer having opposing front face and back face, and comprising at least one layer of fiber- reinforced aerogel, said insulating layer disposed about and conforming to a surface to be insulated.

Abstract:
A HVAC system of a motor vehicle including a film having openings defined therein and moveable between open and closed positions. The film (63) regulating airflow by opening and closing apertures defined in a housing of the HVAC system. The film is disposed in a film balvel assembly containing first and second rollers (27, 28) that wind and unwind the film. The film includes a substrate that includes a fiber selected from the group of polyester-based fibers, glass-based fibers, and combinations thereof. An elastomeric layer is disposed on the substrate layer. The substrate also includes a silicone layer disposed on the elastomeric layer for minimizing noise created as the film moves between the open and closed positions.
