20090163097 | Treated fibrous mat, laminate and method - Coated and uncoated fibrous mats, and laminates containing the mat, having one or more surfactants on the fibers and binder holding the fibers together in only a portion of the thickness of the mat are disclosed. The mat contains a major portion of non-cellulosic fibers and a minor portion of cured resinous binder with the most typical fibers being glass fibers. The surfactant on the surface of the fibers causes a slurry or other liquid applied to the mat in a later process to form a board or laminate like faced gypsum board, a faced foam board, etc. to uniformaly penetrate the mat to the desired distance. Also disclosed are methods of applying the surfactant(s) to the hot, coated or uncoated, mat soon after the coated or uncoated mat exits a drying oven used in the process of making, or coating, the mat | 06-25-2009 |
20090186542 | WATER-ABSORBENT RESIN PARTICLE, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND ABSORBENT MATERIAL USING THE SAME - The present invention provides a water-absorbent resin particle which is excellent in a particle strength, and in which even after mechanical impact, a particle diameter retaining rate and a retaining rate of water absorption capacity under pressure are high, a method for production thereof, and an absorbent material using the same. More particularly, the present invention provides a water-absorbent resin particle obtained by polymerizing a water-soluble ethylenic unsaturated monomer using a water-soluble radical polymerization initiator, if necessary, in the presence of a crosslinking agent, to obtain a water-absorbent resin particle precursor, adding a post-crosslinking agent to crosslink a surface of the particle, and adding an amorphous silica particle, in which a moisture content is 10 to 20%, and a particle diameter retaining rate after a particle collision test is 90% or more, a method for production thereof, and an absorbent material using the same. | 07-23-2009 |
20110223823 | SUPERHYDROPHILIC WOOL FABRIC WITH WASH FASTNESS AND NANO-FINISHING METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME - A superhydrophilic wool fabric with wash fastness and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. Nanometer particles are grafted on the fiber surface of the superhydrophilic wool fabric with wash fastness by chemical bonds. The nanometer particles include nanometer silicon dioxide whose particle diameter is 10-800 nm. Based on the total mass of the superhydrophilic wool fabric with wash fastness, the amount of the nanometer silicon dioxide is 0.05-5% by mass. The preparation method of the present application includes the following steps: pretreating a wool fabric with a coupling agent; then adjusting the pH value of the reactive solution, immersing the pretreated wool fabric in the reactive solvent and stirring under constant temperature; adding silicon dioxide particles with a particle diameter of 10-800 nm or a solution that contains precursor of silicon dioxide into the reacting solvent in which the wool fabric is immersed, readjusting pH value of the reactive solution, oscillating for a period of time under constant temperature, taking out the wool fabric, cleaning and drying. The superhydrophilic wool fabric with wash fastness of the present application has the effects of water-absorbing and quick drying, and is fully wash wear. The operation of the method of the present invention is simple. A functionality design can be realized in the microcosmic field. The fabric of the present invention simultaneously has multiple functions such as water- absorbing and quick drying, bacteriostasis, and self-cleaning. | 09-15-2011 |
