SiC-PU Nanocomposites

Patent Title: POLYURETHANE/UREA SILICON CARBIDE NANOCOMPOSITE

 Number/Link: WO2017/027231

Applicant/Assignee: 3M

Publication date: 16-feb-2017

“Gist”: Surface modified SiC particles are dispersed in and covalently bound to a polyurethane matrix

Why it is interesting: Silicon carbide (carborundum) particles with an average particle size of about 500 nm are NCO-functionalized by reacting with a surface modfifying agent, e.g 2-triethoxysilylpropylisocyanate. The modified particles are then dispersed and covalently reacted into a polyurethane/polyurea matrix in an amount of 50-55% (w/w) on the composition. The composites can be made into highly erosion resistant films, for use on the outer surface of aircraft.

TPU with Anti-Biofouling Surface

Patent Title: ANTIFOULING COMPOSITION

 Number/Link: WO2017/007899

Applicant/Assignee: BASF

Publication date: 12-jan-2017

“Gist”: TPU containing silicone diol and having microstructured surface

Why it is interesting: Biofouling of surfaces e.g. in the marine environment or of medical implants is a problem.  For example the growth of barnacles on the hulls of vessels, subsea cables, pipes and energy generating structures has a significant economic impact. According to this invention, thermoplastic polyurethane articles with a surface energy of about 20 mN/m and a microstructered surface topography show an improved resistance to biofouling. The TPU is produced by incorporating 5-15% on the total composition of a PDMS diol with a OH value of 15 to 150, and by pressing onto the surface a 3D topology with ‘peaks’ and ‘valleys’ of an order of magnitude of 10μm.

Infrared Curable 2K PU Adhesives

Patent Title: LATENT TWO-PART POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES CURABLE WITH INFRARED RADIATION

 Number/Link: WO2016/205251 and related cases: WO..5252, WO…5254 and WO..5255

Applicant/Assignee: Dow

Publication date: all published on 22 dec 2016

“Gist”: Two-component PU adhesive using 3 different delayed-action catalysts

Why it is interesting: Two component adhesive systems need a sufficiently long ‘open time’ preferably combined with a fast cure once activated, e.g. by heat. Heat curing using infrared radiation allows for ‘spot curing’ , i.e. curing only predetermined parts of the adhesive such that the assembly can be handled and can be cured completely in a subsequent step.  This process is fast and saves energy.  The current invention is about IR curable adhesives containing 3 different types of latent catalysts: a latent room temperature organometallic catalyst based on Sn, Zn or Bi added to the polyol component, a phenol-blocked cyclic amidine and a carboxylic acid blocked cyclic amidine.  The two latter catalysts can either be included in the polyol or in the isocyanate component. The catalysts used in the examples are dioctyltinthioglycolate, phenol blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene and a carboxilic acid blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene.
