The present invention relates to photoradiation and/or moisture curing silicone compositions and methods for producing and using the same. In particular, the methods of the present invention permit controlled growth of a polymer, and allow for incorporation of pendant functional groups along the length of the polymer.

Reactive polyorganosiloxanes having controlled molecular weight and functionality

Room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) foaming compositions are disclosed. The compositions include at least one enoxysilyl functional group and/or at least one alkoxysilyl functional group, at least one amine catalyst, and at least one silicon hydride functional group. Also disclosed are methods of preparing such compositions and methods of using such compositions, methods for making a gasket, and articles of manufacture.

Foaming RTV silicone compositions

The present invention relates generally to conductive, silicone-based compositions, with improved initial adhesion and reduced micro-voiding. More specifically, the present invention relates to a conductive, silicone-based composition, which includes a polyorganosiloxane, a silicone resin, and a conductive filler component.

Conducive, silicone-based compositions with improved initial adhesion reduced microvoiding

Heat-curable silicone compositions employing a reactive silicone, a silicone hydride crosslinker and a catalyst system which includes a rhodium-based catalyst, a stabilizing system are disclosed. A combination of rhodium and platinum-based catalysts are employed as well. The compositions are low temperature curing and are capable of providing low coefficient of thermal expansion compositions. A stabilizer system which includes in combination a peroxide and an acetylenic compound is also disclosed.

Low temperature, fast curing silicone compositions

The present invention provides silicone compositions, cured elastomers thereof demtonstrate improved resistance to oil. The compositions include a reactive silicone component, wherein the silicone component cures by way of an addition cure mechanism or a condensation cure mechanism; and a basic filler component to confer oil resistance to the cured elastomer. Where the reactive silicone component cures by way of an addition cure mechanism, an addition cure catalyst is also included. To that end, in one embodiment of the invention, the composition includes a vinyl-terminated silicone fluid, a hydrogen-functionalized silicone fluid; a basic filler to confer oil resistance to the cured elastomer and an addition cure catalyst. In another embodiment of the invention, the composition includes a hydroxy-terminated diorganopolysiloxane, a precipitated calcium carbonate, at least about 5% by weight of a composition comprising magnesium oxide particles having a mean particle size of about 0.5 &mgr;M to about 1.5 &mgr;M and a mean surface area of about 50 M /g to about 175 M /g and a crosslinker.

Oil resistant compositions

The present invention provides anaerobic adhesive compositions, reaction products of which demonstrate controlled-strength at ambient temperature conditions and enhanced resistance to thermal degradation at elevated temperature conditions. The compositions are (meth)acrylate- and/or polyorganosiloxane-based and may include one or more of a variety of other components, such as certain coreactants, a maleimide component, a diluent component reactive at elevated temperature conditions, mono- or poly-hydroxyalkane components, and other components.

High temperature, controlled strength anaerobic compositions curable under ambient environmental conditions

The present invention is directed to silicone formulations which are capable of being rapidly cured to tough elastomeric materials through exposure to UV radiation, and optionally through exposure to moisture as well. The cured products demonstrate high resistance to flammability and combustibility. The flame-retardant components is a combination of hydrated alumina and an organo ligand complex of a transition metal or an organosiloxane ligand complex of a transition metal or a combination thereof.

Flame-retardant UV and UV/moisture curable silicone compositions

The invention provides a conductive, resin-based composition, which includes a resinous material, and a conductive filler dispersed therein. The conductive filler includes a first conductive filler component and a second conductive filler component. The particles of the first conductive filler component are harder than those of the second conductive filler component, when measured using the Mohs hardness scale. The composition is subjected to shear mixing forces which shearingly disperse the first and second conductive filler components throughout the resinous material in such a way that the particles of the second conductive filler component occupy the interstitial voids within the network of first conductive filler component particles contained in the resinous material and thereby enhance conductivity.

Conductive, resin-based compositions

The present invention is directed to silicone formulations which are capable of being rapidly cured to tough elastomeric materials through exposure to UV radiation. The cured products demonstrate high resistance to flammability and combustibility.

Flame-retardant UV curable silicone compositions

A radiation and moisture curable silicone conformal coating composition comprises a silicone fluid of a monovalent ethylenically unsaturated functional group endcapped silicone and at least one (meth)acryl-functionalized silicone; and a photoinitiator effective for radiation curing of the silicone composition. The encapped silicone is the product of a reaction between a silanol terminated silicone and a silane cross linker having joined directly to a silicon atom thereof a monovalent ethylenically unsaturated functional group and at least 2 hydrolyzable groups.
