Abstract:
A gel composition for use as carrier of dyes for use in dye laser systems is disclosed. At rest the composition is a rigid, transparent gel which is insensitive to air or moisture, which is able to overcome heat accumulated with laser use, and which thins to a low viscosity when restricted or subjected to shearing and which quickly resolidifies to a rigid gel when shearing is reduced. More specifically, the carrier gel is comprised of layered mixed metal hydroxide particles, which may be produced by hydrolyzing a mixture of the alkoxides of magnesium and aluminum. The carrier gel is useful in dye laser systems as a solid or semi-solid, fixed or fluidized carrier of very low solids content. The dye laser systems have therapeutic diagnostic uses.

Abstract:
A matrix resin such as a polycarbonate/polyester blend, a polycarbonate, a vinyl aromatic copolymer or an acrylate polymer or copolymer is admixed in a composition with poly(phenylene ether), and/or with a poly(phenylene ether) concentrate containing poly(phenylene ether), polystyrene, a vinyl aromatic copolymer, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyester, poly(alkyl acrylate), and/or poly(alkyl methacrylate). The compositions may also optionally contain additional vinyl aromatic copolymer as a separate component, impact modifiers, thermoplastic molding materials including polystyrene, polyolefin, polyamide, poly(vinyl chloride), polyurethane, poly(methyl methacrylate) and polyacetal, and conventional additives such as dyes and pigments. The compositions when molded, particularly when the poly(phenylene ether) content thereof is low (for example, 5 weight percent or less) show a desirably low gloss, and a desirable balance of other properties.
Abstract:
A transition metal containing catalyst useful for the polymerization of alpha -olefins is prepared by (A) forming in an inert atmosphere which excludes oxygen and moisture a slurry of (1) a porous inorganic oxide support material selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, or a combination of silica and alumina, said support material containing not greater than about 5 millimoles of hydroxyl groups per gram of support material and a particle size not greater than about 10 microns and a surface area of from about 50 to about 800 m /g in an inert organic liquid medium; (B) mixing said slurry with (2) an alkoxide and stirring the resultant mixture at a temperature of from about -20 DEG C to about 120 DEG C for a time sufficient to saturate the surface of the support material; (C) mixing the product form (B) with (3) a titanium compound or a combination of a titanium compound and (4) a vanadium compound and stirring the resultant mixture at a temperature of from about -20 DEG C to about 120 DEG C for a time sufficient to allow complete reaction of the titanium compound and the vanadium compound with the organomagnesium moieties remaining on the solid support; (D) mixing the product from (C) with an inert organic solution of (5) a Group IIIA metal alkyl halide at a temperature of from about -20 DEG C to about 120 DEG C for a time sufficient to complete the reduction of the titanium and vanadium, if present, compounds to their final oxidation state. Ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers which have greater than 17 percent high density fraction and an Mw/Mn ratio of less than about 3.6 are shown to be useful in making cast films which have good stretchability and good puncture resistance. Copolymers of the present invention having the specified properties are especially useful in making the films.
