Fully alkoxysilane-functionalized aliphatic polyamine compounds
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 1994-12-06)
Fully alkoxysilane-functionalized aliphatic polyamine compounds (e.g., fully functionalized dialkylenetriamine compounds) can be formed by reacting a dialkylenetriamine (e.g., diethylenetriamine) with a compound comprising an amine-reactive group and an alkoxysilane group (e.g., an isocyanatoalkylalkoxysilane). These functionalized compounds find utility as the predominant component in forming organic/inorganic hybrid materials via sol-gel processing.
High abrasion resistance coating materials from organic/inorganic hybrid materials produced by the sol-gel method
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 1994-05-31)
A series of new high abrasion resistance coating materials have been prepared utilizing organic/inorganic hybrid materials formed by cohydrolyzing a metal alkoxide sol (e.g. silicon, aluminum, titanium, or zirconium metal alkoxide sol) with one or more bis(trialkoxysilane-containing) organic components or related functionalized species. These hybrid materials show optical clarity and improve the abrasion resistance of polymer substrates when applied as coatings and cured on such substrates.
