Abstract
Abstract A fibrous web impregnated with an organopolysiloxane which is cured thereon, wherein the web has superior dielectric and heatresistant properties and is useful as an insulating medium and, optionally, a rigid fibrous web having its resin and/or fiber portion carbonized. A process of impregnating the fibrous web with the organopolysiloxane in liquid or powder form and curing the siloxane thereon, and, optionally, carbonizing the resin and/or fiber portion of the web whereby the resulting carbonized structure retains its rigidity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
18 words
The fibrous sheet of claim 1, wherein the organopolysiloxane is produced by the hydrolysis and condensation of methyltriethoxysilane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
23 words
The fibrous sheet of claim 1, wherein the organopolysiloxane Is produced by the hydrolysis and condensation of a mixture of methyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The fibrous sheet of claim 1 comprising a fiber web having fibers selected from the group consisting of pine kraft, groundwood, semichemical hardwood, bleached hardwood sods, Alpha -cellulose, asbestos, glass, or a fiber formed from a polyamide resin, polyester resin, polyolefin resin, acrylic resin, steel, aluminum, copper or brass which is fiber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
177 words
A process for the manufacture of an impregnated fibrous sheet which comprises the steps of forming a fiber web, impregnating said web with an organic solution of a further curable organopolysiloxane compound, said further curable organopolysiloxane compound being a precured hydrolysis and condensation product of at least one organosilane monomer selected from the group consisting of methyltrialkoxysilane and a mixture of methyltrialkoxysilane and phenyltrialkoxysilane in which the alkoxy group contains less than five carbon atoms and water at about 50* to 80* C. for a period of from about 1 to about 10 hours to form a siloxane partial condensation product which is then heated at a temperature of about 100* to 300* C. to remove alkanol byproduct and water, after which the resultant product is precured by heating at a temperature below the gel point thereof and in the range of about 90* to about 185* C. to provide the precured, further curable organopolysiloxane, evaporating the solvent for the organopolysiloxane from said solution and finally curing the organopolysiloxane to provide a thermoset organopolysiloxane impregnated fibrous sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
The process in accordance with claim 5 wherein said evaporation is carried out at from about 25* to about 185* C., said precure is carried out at a temperature from 10-20* C. below the gel point, and said final cure is carried out at temperature of from about 80* to about 100* C. at a relative humidity of from about 50 to about 100 percent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process in accordance with claim 5 wherein the resulting impregnated sheet is subsequently heated to a temperature sufficient to carbonize at least one of the fiber web and resinous matrix.
