This invention relates to a dispersion of a functional silicone modifier in a curable epoxy resin wherein emulsification of said silicone is aided by a siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer. The silicone modifier comprises an alpha,omega-functional polydimethylsiloxane having carboxyl, amine or epoxide endgroups. A method of using the dispersion to improve the impact resistance of the resin, when the latter is cured, is described.

Silicone-modified epoxy resins having improved impact resistance

This invention relates to oil-in-oil emulsions wherein the continuous phase comprises at least one carboxyalkyl terminated polydiorganosiloxane and the dispersed phase comprises at least one epoxide compound selected from diglycidyl ethers of di- and bis-phenols. The emulsions also include a curing catalyst in addition to an dispersing agent for the epoxide compound, and can be cured with heating to form elastomeric materials exhibiting properties characteristics of silicone rubber.

Curable organosiloxane compositions containing an emulsified epoxide

Novel fluorine-containing polyorganosiloxanes comprise repeating units of the formula [F(CF.sub.2).sub.m (CH.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.p SiO.sub.(4-p)/2, R.sub.3 SiO.sub.1/2 and SiO.sub.4/2 where R represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, m has an average value from 1 to 20, n is 1 or 2 and p is 1, 2 or 3. The polyorganosiloxanes are particularly useful as stabilizers for foams prepared by introducing gaseous blowing agents into liquid polydimethylsiloxanes.

Polyorganosiloxane compositions

Emulsions of fluorosilicone fluids in mineral oil are disclosed. These emulsions are stabilized by a polydimethylsiloxane- polybutadiene copolymer or a polydimethylsiloxane-hydrogenated polybutadiene copolymer. The emulsions are an effective foam suppressant for organic liquids, especially crude petroleum.

Oil emulsions of fluorosilicone fluids

Organopolysiloxane-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers having a limited number of dimethylsiloxane units, at least one 6 to 16 carbon alkyl radical and at least one polyoxyalkylene radical are good emulsifiers for preparing water-in-mineral oil emulsions if the polyoxyalkylene radicals do not account for more than 1/3 of the molecular weight of the block copolymer. The block copolymers are readily dispersible or dissolvable in mineral oil to which a personal care component can be added. Personal care emulsion compositions can then be prepared by emulsifying an aqueous phase into the mineral oil phase.

These compositions are useful as concentrates for replenishing polydiorganosiloxane hydraulic fluids that have become depleted in additives (B) and (C), and as hydraulic fluids having improved resistance to settling of the lubricant compound at low temperatures.

An improved silicone emulsifier composition is disclosed which is particularly useful for preparing thermally stable, solids-free invert emulsions for the deep well-drilling art.

Improved invert emulsions and a method for their preparation are also disclosed. The invert emulsions comprise the improved silicone emulsifier of this invention as well as a brine discontinuous phase and a liquid hydrocarbon continuous phase.
