Preparation And Use Of Pelletized Submicron Pigment Powder/Polymer Compositions

US Patent:
5589531, Dec 31, 1996
Filed:
Mar 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/399475
Inventors:
Jameel Menashi - Lexington MA
Robert C. Reid - Lexington MA
Robert S. Whitehouse - Lexington MA
David J. Kaul - Acton MA
Assignee:
Cabot Corporation - Boston MA
International Classification:
C08K 310
US Classification:
524409
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a process for preparing co-pelletized submicron pigment powder/polymer pellets in a dry drum pelletizing process using a thermoplastic polymer as seed pellets. Also disclosed is a process for using the co-pelletized product either for formation of masterbatch or for directly introducing at least one pigment into thermoplastic media.

Barium Titanate Powders

US Patent:
4829033, May 9, 1989
Filed:
Feb 1, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/150792
Inventors:
Jameel Menashi - Lexington MA
Robert C. Reid - Lexington MA
Laurence Wagner - North Reading MA
Assignee:
Cabot Corporation - Waltham MA
International Classification:
C04B 3546, C04B 3549
US Classification:
501139
Abstract:
Barium titanate based dielectric compositions having the general formula Ba. sub. (1-x-x'-x") Pb. sub. x Ca. sub. x' Sr. sub. x" Ti. sub. (1-y-y'-y") Sn. sub. y Zr. sub. y' Hf. sub. y" O. sub. 3, wherein x, x', x" and y, y', y" represent mole fractions of the divalent and tetravalent cations and x and x' have independent value greater than 0. 01 and less than 0. 3 and x", y, y' and y" have independent values greater than zero and less than 0. 3, such that the sum (x+x'+x") is greater than 0. 01 and less than 0. 4 and the sum (y+y'+y") does not exceed 0. 4. Regardless of the specific composition selected, the products of the invention have a mean primary particle size in the range of 0. 05 to 0. 4 microns with a very narrow particle size distribution. The products are dispersible so that the mean particle size determined by image anaylsis and by sedimentation are comparable.

Doped Batio.sub.3 Based Compositions

US Patent:
4863883, Sep 5, 1989
Filed:
Aug 23, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/235356
Inventors:
Jameel Menashi - Lexington MA
Robert C. Reid - Lexington MA
Laurence P. Wagner - West Chester PA
Assignee:
Cabot Corporation - Waltham MA
International Classification:
C04B 3549
US Classification:
501138
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a variety of dispersible doped multi-component BaTiO. sub. 3 based powder compositions. The primary particles of each of the products are substantially spherical, have sizes in the range of 0. 05 to 0. 4 microns and have narrow size distributions. Further, the compositions of the primary particles, forming each powder, are comparable. The amount of dopant oxide or oxides contained in the powder composition ranges from between greater than 1 to 10 mole percent. Regardless of the dopant or dopants utilzied, all the powder compositions of the present invention are identified by the same unique morphological characteristics.

Barium Titanate Based Dielectric Compositions

US Patent:
4832939, May 23, 1989
Filed:
Feb 1, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/151688
Inventors:
Jameel Menashi - Lexington MA
Robert C. Reid - Lexington MA
Laurence P. Wagner - North Reading MA
Assignee:
Cabot Corporation - Waltham MA
International Classification:
C01G 2304
US Classification:
423598
Abstract:
The present invention involves a method for producing a variety of barium titanate based powder products consisting of submicron, dispersible primary particles having narrow size distributions. The method, in its broadest aspects, involves heating an aqueous slurry of PbO, or Pb(OH). sub. 2, and Ca(OH). sub. 2 with a stoichiometric excess of the hydrous oxides of Ti(IV), Sn(IV), Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) to a temperature not exceeding 200. degree. C. Thereafter, the resulting slurry temperature is adjusted to between 50. degree. and 200. degree. C. and a solution of Ba(OH). sub. 2 and Sr(OH). sub. 2, having a temperature of 70. degree. to 100. degree. C. is added within a period of five minutes or less to the slurry. About 10 minutes after the addition of the Ba(OH). sub. 2 and Sr(OH). sub.

Gasification Process

US Patent:
4113446, Sep 12, 1978
Filed:
Nov 17, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/742712
Inventors:
Michael Modell - Cambridge MA
Robert C. Reid - Lexington MA
Sanjay I. Amin - Kalamazoo MI
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
C10J 316
US Classification:
48202
Abstract:
Solid or liquid organic materials are converted to high BTU gas with little or no undesirable char formation by reaction with water at or above the critical temperature of water and at or above the critical pressure of water to achieve the critical density of water. The reaction can be conducted either in the presence or in the absence of a catalyst.
