Coupling agents for mineral-filled elastomer compositions.Coupling agents for mineral-filled elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. compositions U.S. patent: 7,138,537 Issued: November 21, 2006 Inventors: Richard W. Cruse and Robert J. Pickwell Assigned: General Electric Key statement: A silane silane or silicon hydride Any of a series of inorganic compounds of silicon and hydrogen with covalent bonds and the general chemical formula SinH(2n + 2). coupling agent for coupling an elastomer and a filler fill·er 1 n. One that fills, as: a. Something added to augment weight or size or fill space. b. A composition, especially a semisolid that hardens on drying, used to fill pores, cracks, or holes in wood, plaster, wherein said silane comprises a hydrolysable group which is released to yield a compound that improves downstream processability. |
