This disclosure relates to modified polyurethanes, specifically polyurethanes modified with one or more lipophilic groups, and tough organogels comprising such modified polyurethanes.

A gel composition is a gel composition containing a base oil (a) and a hydrogenated block copolymer (b), wherein the hydrogenated block copolymer (b) is a hydrogenated product of a diblock copolymer composed of a polymer block (A) consisting mainly of a structural unit derived from an aromatic vinyl compound and a polymer block (B) consisting mainly of a structural unit derived from a conjugated diene compound, the content of the polymer block (A) in the hydrogenated block copolymer (b) being 38.0 to 45.0% by mass; and the content of the hydrogenated block copolymer (b) in the gel composition is 1 to 20 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the base oil (a) and the hydrogenated block copolymer (b).

Disclosed herein are various cable gel seal arrangements and thermoplastic gels useful therein. The thermoplastic gels are prepared from a composition including a styrene triblock copolymer, a styrene diblock copolymer, an oil extender, and an additive selected from poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), a C9 resin, poly(alpha-methylstyrene), a coumarone-indene resin, and combinations thereof, wherein the additive has a T.sub.g from about 95° C. to about 200° C. The thermoplastic gels advantageously exhibit low compression set.

The present invention relates to a method of making a composite material, the method comprising: (1) forming a Pickering emulsion comprising a continuous liquid phase, a discontinuous liquid phase, and a 2D material: wherein the discontinuous liquid phase comprises a polysiloxane and a curing agent; (2) leaving the Pickering emulsion formed in step (1) in a sealed system for sufficient time to at least partially cure the polysiloxane: and (3) allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate.

Green, fast and easy evaporating organic solvent for use as a lubricant in the processing of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) products and processes of using the solvents to fabricate the products are disclosed herein. The products can be used in the field of bio- and medical applications, such as for use in vascular grafts, cardiovascular and soft tissue patches, facial implants, surgical sutures, and endovascular prosthesis, and for any products known in the aerospace, electronics, fabrics, filtration, industrial and sealant arts.

A continuous process for producing a polyurea concentrate or powder. The process includes combing at least one amine and an isocayante in the presence of a liquid diluent or a base oil in a rotor stator mixer. The concentrate comprises a polyurea in a base oil wherein the concentration of from about 20 weight percent to about 50, or 40 or 35 or 30 weight percent of polyurea based on total weight of grease thickener. The powder has particle size of 2 to 400 microns. This concentrate or powder can then be formulated by grease manufacturers to the desired final properties without the need for handling of the isocyanate and amine raw materials

A pasty composition for the manufacture of three-dimensional structures or structural elements on the surface of a substrate is formed together with a polymer as an organic component B1, and a powdery material that makes up a proportion of solid in the range of 60 mass % to 95 mass % in the composition, and at least two mutually different solvents C1 and C2 that form a solvent mixture. A first solvent C1 has a boiling temperature here that is lower than the boiling temperature of the further solvent or solvents C2.

A method for operating in a borehole penetrating a formation is disclosed. The method includes disposing in the borehole an assembly comprising a load-bearing and oil-disintegrable tool comprising a polymeric composite; performing a downhole operation; and disintegrating the load-bearing and oil-disintegrable tool with a hydrocarbon fluid. The polymeric composite comprises an oil-disintegrable polymer which is one or more of the following: a polydicyclopentadiene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polycarbonate, polysulfone, or a high density polyethylene, the polyurethane being a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-modified polyurethane, a lauryl methacrylate graft polyurethane copolymer, a divinylbenzene crosslinked polyurethane, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.
