Abstract:
A process for the production of EPDM comprising reacting ethylene, propylene, ethylidene norbornene, and hydrogen, in the gas phase, in a fluidized bed, under polymerization conditions, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising: (a) the reaction product of a vanadium compound and a electron donor; (b) at least one modifier having the formula BX₃ or AlR (3-a) X a wherein each R is alkyl or aryl and alike or different; each X is independently chlorine, bromine, or iodine; and a is 0, 1, or 2, wherein components (a) and (b) are impregnated into an inorganic support; (c) a halocarbon promoter; and (d) a hydrocarbyl aluminum cocatalyst with the following proviso: (i) the partial pressure of ethylene is in the range of about 25 to about 200 psi; (ii) the molar ratio of propylene to ethylene is in the range of about 0.2:1 to about 2:1; (iii) the molar ratio of hydrogen to ethylene is in the range of about 0.0001:1 to about 0.01:1; and (iv) the amount of ethylidene norbornene is about 1.5 to about 15 percent by weight based on the weight of the fluidized bed.

Abstract:
An automobile air bag deployment door which is fabricated from a composition comprising at least about 25% by weight based on the weight of the composition of an ethylene copolymer containing ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, said copolymer having a density in the range of about 0.88 to about 0.913 grams per cubic centimeter and a melt index in the range of about 0.1 to about 10 grams per 10 minutes.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel isocyanate-terminated prepolymers of carboxylic acid grafted polyethers, salts of these prepolymers and fully reacted polymers formed therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to reacting an ethylenically unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid with a polyether in the presence of a free radical initiator to form a graft copolymer. Acid-containing isocyanate- terminated prepolymers can then be formed by reacting the graft copolymer with an isocyanate. Salt-containing isocyanate-terminated prepolymers are prepared through the reaction between the acid-containing prepolymer and a base. Finally, polymers are formed by curing either of these isocyanate-terminated prepolymers with an isocyanate reactive material.
Abstract:
Perovskites of the structure A₂B₂C₃O₁₀ are useful as catalysts for the oxidative coupling of lower alkane to heavier hydrocarbons. A is alkali metal; B is lanthanide or lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, samarium, praseodymium, gadolinium or dysprosium; and C is titanium.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for making amines by condensing an amino compound in the presence of a metallic phosphate condensation catalyst having a cyclic structure or an acyclic structure which is transformed into a cyclic structure during said process. This invention also relates to an alkyleneamines producers composition rich in triethylenetetramine (TETA), tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA).

Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for topical application of a pharmaceutically or therapeutically active agent. The invention also relates to topical delivery systems for these active agents, which are useful as disinfectants (i.e., they have bactericidal and fungicidal activity).
Abstract:
A biocompatible, substantive, film-forming delivery system for delivery of pharmaceutical or therapeutic actives to a desired topical site of a subject, said system comprising an emulsion comprising
A) at least one pharmaceutical or therapeutic active; B) an aqueous fraction comprising at least one aminopolysaccharide derivative selected from the group consisting of chitosonium polymers and covalent chitosan derivatives; and C) a non-aqueous fraction which is not soluble in the aqueous fraction, and wherein said system, after delivery to said site, provides a substantive, gas permeable film from which the actives are available for treatment of said subject at said site.
Abstract:
An improved process for the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins to aldehydes is described. The improvement provides a means for recovering valuable components in gaseous streams by scrubbing the streams with a stripped or cooled catalyst solution.
