Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a fire-resistant composition that contains reticulated polysiloxane and raw carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are present in a certain amount and can be single-wall, double-wall, or multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The composition has good consistency and can be applied using a brush or extrusion gun. The carbon nanotubes can be produced by chemical vapor deposition or laser ablation. The composition can be used as a fire-resistant protective coating, seal, or coating. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a fire-resistant material that can protect fireproof surfaces from fire outbreaks."

Problems solved by technology

For polymer-based coatings, this technique is difficult to transpose because the polymers used have a pasty consistency.
The application of this type of coating can therefore pose a certain number of practical problems.
Another problem is that of fire resistance of the materials over time and in particular in the field of aeronautics.
These seals, which are not or hardly fireproof in comparison with the materials that they link, may indeed begin to melt well before the critical temperature level of the materials is reached.
The disadvantage of the use of this type of coating is the fact that the quantity of the required filler is normally higher than 10%, which has the effect of altering the mechanical properties of the polymers used and of making them less flexible.
If not, cracks may appear and offer points of attack for the fire.
Moreover, such fire-resistant polymers do not have a consistency suitable for their application in the form of a coating or a seal.

Abstract

The present invention concerns a fireproof composition consisting of reticulated polysiloxane and raw carbon nanotubes with a “bound rubber” value greater than or equal to 15 grams of carbon nanotube, said carbon nanotubes representing between 0.05 and 1% of the total weight of said composition.

Description

SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns a composition comprising a reticulated polymer and carbon nanotubes as well as a method of making use of this composition. The composition according to the invention has surprising viscosimetric and fire-resistant properties that allow it to be used respectively in the form of a fire-resistant protective coating and in the form of a fireproof seal.STATE OF THE ART[0002]In aeronautics, traditional paints are normally applied by spraying by means of a spray gun. For polymer-based coatings, this technique is difficult to transpose because the polymers used have a pasty consistency. The application of this type of coating can therefore pose a certain number of practical problems.[0003]Just like the paints, the seals must have particular properties of viscosity. On the one hand they must be flexible enough so as to be easily applied and on the other hand they must be then fixed enough to retain their shape while following any p...
