Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A molding compound consisting essentially of a mixture of 1. a thermosetting resin of at least one of phenol-formaldehyde condensates, phenol-aminoplast-formaldehyde condensates, aminoplast-formaldehyde condensates, resorcinol-formaldehyde condensates, or resorcinol-formaldehyde-urea condensates; 2. at least one inorganic cement, wherein said cement is present in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 9 parts by weight of cement per part by weight of the water content of the thermosetting resin; and 3. 0.01 to 10.0 weight percent of a coupling agent based on the total weight of the coupling agent wherein the coupling agent is at least one organo silane containing at least two hydrolyzable silane groups wherein the distance between any two hydrolysis cites of a glass fiber is greater than the distance between any two hydrolyzable silane groups in the organo silane and wherein the coupling agent has the general formula (RO).sub.3 SiR'Si(OR).sub.3 wherein each R is an alkyl or aryl group containing from 1 to 10 carbons and R' is an alkylene or phenylene group containing from 1 to 15 carbons.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
A molding compound consisting essentially of a mixture of 1. a thermosetting resin of at least one of phenol-formaldehyde condensates, phenol-aminoplast-formaldehyde condensates, aminoplast-formaldehyde condensates, resorcinol-formaldehyde condensates, or resorcinol-formaldehyde-urea condensates; 2. at least one inorganic cement, wherein said cement is present in an amount within the range of from about 1 to about 9 parts by weight of cement per part by weight of the water content of the thermosetting resin; and 3. 0.01 to 10.0 weight percent of a coupling agent based on the total weight of the coupling agent wherein the coupling agent is at least one organo silane containing at least two hydrolyzable silane groups wherein the distance between any two hydrolysis cites of a glass fiber is greater than the distance between any two hydrolyzable silane groups in the organo silane and wherein the coupling agent has the general formula (RO).sub.3 SiR'Si(OR).sub.3 wherein each R is an alkyl or aryl group containing from 1 to 10 carbons and R' is an alkylene or phenylene group containing from 1 to 15 carbons.
