Hydroxyethylcellulose with a low molar substitution and which is uniformly substituted is useful in cement-based systems, including mortars. The cement-based system exhibits long pot life, as well as very high water retention capability at hot temperature, as well as better paste stability and optimized setting behavior for hot as well as cold temperature compared to typical, cement-based systems with commercial cellulose ether compounds. Less hydrophilic cellulose ethers such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose can be added as a second cellulose ether.

Low molar, homogeneously substituted HEC for use in cement-based systems

Curable compositions including epoxy-functional compounds and polyenes, as well as cyclic polysiloxanes, and/or tetrahedral siloxysilanes, and/or linear polysiloxanes; along with, or instead of these polyenes and silicon compositions, crosslinkable prepolymers prepared from such polyenes and silicon compounds may be included. A curing agent, and yet additionally, a curing accelerator, may also be included. These compositions can be thermally cured, in the presence of hydrosilation catalysts.

Curable and cured organosilicon compositions

Disclosed are flame retardant organosilicon compositions, wherein the organosilicon compositions comprise residues derived from (a) polycyclic polyene compounds and (b) residues derived from cyclic polysiloxanes, tetrahedral siloxysilanes and linear poly(organohydrosilioxane)s. Preferably the compositions contain flame retardants, such as a phosphorus containing or halogen containing flame retardant, which may be microencapsulated. Also disclosed are processes for making such compositions and articles made from such compositions.

A crosslinkable organosilicon prepolymer and a crosslinked organosilicon polymer comprising alternating hydrocarbon and cyclic polysiloxane radicals, which is the hydrosilation reaction product of:

Organosilicon materials

This invention is directed to a prepreg which comprises fiber reinforcement impregnated with the partial hydrosilation reaction product of:

Disclosed are multiphase epoxy thermosets having improved toughness and peel strength levels. The epoxy thermoset resin can serve as a matrix resin for composite structures and as a high temperature adhesive in bonding bodies together. The matrix comprises a crosslinked continuous phase and crosslinked discontinuous phase which contains the rubber phase.
