Abstract

A method of reducing the number or size of voids in a polyurethane comprises reacting the formulation components in a container having an inner surface, or having a liner that has an inner surface, that has been modified to reduce the shear forces that normally accompany introduction of such components into a container. This is done by modifying the inner container's or container liner's surface by profiling and/or engraving it, or by including as a liner a mesh. The profiling and/or engraving or mesh serves to alter the formulation's flow dynamics such that the polyurethane has fewer and/or smaller voids, i.e., has a more uniform density, than polyurethanes formed without the modification.

Abstract

Densified composites of a metal such as copper or aluminum with a titanium- silicon-carbide or titanium-aluminum-carbide ceramic material are prepared by forming the ceramic material into a body, and infiltrating the body with the molten metal. The metal is able to rapidly penetrate into void spaces, between grain boundaries and even into the crystal structure of the ceramic grains to form a composite. The starting ceramic material may be previously densified, in which case various types of gradient structures can be produced easily. The process can be operated at low pressures, and so the hot pressing methods that normally must be used to densify these ceramic materials can be avoided.

Abstract

An adduct comprises at least one reaction product of (i) an epoxy resin material (A) and (ii) a reactive compound (B). The epoxy resin material (A) comprises a cis, trans- 1,3- and -1,4-cyclohexanedimethylether moiety and the reactive compound (B) comprises a compound having two or more reactive hydrogen atoms per molecule, wherein the reactive hydrogen atoms are reactive with epoxide groups. A curable epoxy resin composition comprises the adduct described above. A cured epoxy resin is prepared by a process of curing the curable epoxy resin composition.
