Minimum Federal Safety Standards for corrosion control on buried oil & gas pipelines stipulate that metallic pipes should be properly coated and have impressed-current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems in place to control the electrical potential field around a protected pipe. In certain examples described herein, electrically-conductive composites can be used and provide intrinsically-safe materials without the dielectric shielding issues of existing materials used with pipelines. As reacted by customary spray applications, the nanocomposite foams described herein are directly compatible with ICCP functionality wherever foam contacts the metallic pipe. Various compositions and their use with underground and/or above ground pipelines are described.

An inflatable environment on an extraterrestrial surface or beneath the extraterrestrial surface includes a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers include an inflated airform layer sandwiched between initial layer and an external layer, a reinforcement layer, and an inner layer inside of the one of the plurality of layers being comprised of a deployed inflated airform, all of which comprise of Regishell. The Regishell is composed of a binder material and regolith.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer coating on a metallic substrate, comprising, in the given order, (1) producing a polyvinyl chloride plastisol layer on the metallic substrate, comprising the application of a polyvinyl chloride plastisol material to the metallic substrate, (2) producing a thermosetting and/or thermoplastic topcoat layer directly on the polyvinyl chloride plastisol layer, comprising the application of a thermosetting and/or thermoplastic coating material directly to the polyvinyl chloride plastisol layer, wherein both the polyvinyl chloride plastisol material and the thermosetting and/or thermoplastic coating material comprise a layered double hydroxide.

A composition suitable for coating a metallic substrate that is susceptible to corrosion is disclosed. The composition comprises a carrier medium and graphene platelets in which the graphene platelets comprise between 0.002 wt % and 0.09 wt % of the coating, and the graphene platelets comprise one of or a mixture of two or more of graphene nanoplates, bilayer graphene nanoplates, few-layer graphene nanoplates, and/or graphite flakes in which the graphite flakes have one nanoscale dimension and 25 or less layers

A coating for an electrosurgical electrode to reduce the potential for sticking of tissue. The coating is an elastomer containing a plurality of diamond particles having an average diameter of between diameter of 0.5 and 500 nanometers and that comprise between 0.1 and 25 percent by weight of the coating. The coating may be formed by reducing a silicone dispersion with xylene, adding the plurality of diamond particles, and agglomerating the plurality of diamond particles through sonification and then applied to the device. The coasting may also be formed by reducing a silicone dispersion with xylene, adding the plurality of diamond particles, and agglomerating the plurality of diamond particles through sonification, and then applied to the device by plasma enhanced vapor deposition.

With a view to simultaneously achieving reduction in sputter adhesion to an electronic article and improvement in durability required for maintenance of a film, the electronic article (10) has a film (3) which is formed on the surface of an underlayer member (1) and which is composed of a calcined and cured product of a film solution of a binder resin comprising a fluorine-based resin and a ceramic filler, wherein the fluorine-based resin is distributed increasingly more in the film (3) toward the surface on the side opposite to the underlayer member (1).

An intumescent mesh has a flexible grid with a plurality of strands that form a series of openings in the flexible grid, and an intumescent coating applied to the flexible grid. The intumescent coating is made of an expandable graphite and a polymer-based carrier as ingredients and having an activation temperature above which the intumescent coating swells. The grid is sized such that the intumescent coating permits airflow through the flexible grid until the intumescent coating is exposed to temperatures at or above the activation temperature, whereupon the intumescent coating swells to seal the openings and prevent air flow through the flexible grid.

A system having a removable electronic component employs an abrasion-resistant thermally conductive film as a thermal interface between the removable electronic component and a heat sink. The abrasion-resistant film reduces thermal impedance between the removable electronic component and the heat sink when the removable electronic component is repeatedly installed and removed from a chamber in a host device. The abrasion-resistant film includes a polymer formed from a silicone-containing resin and an inorganic particulate filler; the film may also be interlocked with a corrosion protection layer at the heat sink. A method of forming a heat sink is provided that minimizes increases in thermal impedance.
