Abstract:
A method and apparatus for injection molding a metal alloy wherein the alloy is maintained in a thixotropic, semisolid state in a reciprocating extruder (16) at temperatures above its solidus temperature and below its liquidus temperature in the presence of shearing and then injected as a thixotropic slurry into a mold (22) to form a useful product. Following completion of the injection molding stroke, the nozzle (20) of the extruder is sealed by solidifying a portion of the residue of the alloy remaining in the nozzle.
Abstract:
Foamed products are prepared by subjecting a crosslinked polymer such as an ethylene-carbon monoxide copolymer susceptible to heating by high frequency electromagnetic radiation such as microwave or radio frequency which has been imbibed or impregnated with a suitable mechanical or physical blowing agent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon to sufficient high frequency electromagnetic radiation to cause foaming of the polymer.
Abstract:
Closed cell microcellular foam having cells with diameters of less than 10 νm and preferably having a density is less than 0.1 gm/cm3 are prepared from copolymers of α-olefin and α,β-monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The copolymer is permeated with a blowing agent and ammonia at a pressure of 1.4 to 20 mPag in the presence of an inert gas and subsequently is heated by electromagnetic radiation of 0.1 to 200 MH¿3?.
Abstract:
Solid epoxy resins having low melt viscosity and high softening points are prepared by partially reacting the aliphatic secondary hydroxyl groups with a monoisocyanate to form pendant urethane groups. These resins are particularly useful as binders in preparing high flow-out, non-sintering powder paints.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a novel process for preparing isothiocyanate functionalized chelates by reacting amino functionalized chelates with thiophosgene.
Abstract:
Particle emitting radionuclides, e.g. Samarium-153 have been complexed with certain macrocyclic aminophosphonic acids wherein the nitrogen and phosphorus are interconnected by an alkylene group or substituted alkylene group. A composition is now disclosed which comprises a complex having (1) a macrocyclic aminophosphonic acid, containing 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane as the macrocyclic moiety, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the nitrogen and phosphorus are interconnected by an alkylene or substituted alkylene radical of formula (I), wherein: X and Y are independently hydrogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, phosphonic, or hydrocarbon radicals having from 1-8 carbon atoms and physiologically acceptable salts of the acid radicals; and n is 1-3, with the proviso that when n>1, each X and Y may be the same as or different from the X and Y of any other carbon atom, and (2) at least one radionuclide of Sm-153, Gd-159, Ho-166, Lu-177, Y-90 or Yb-175.
Abstract:
An antistatic sheet material and package formed therefrom is provided. The laminated sheet material includes a first inner layer (30) which is preferably a coextruded film having a polyolefin ply (32) and second copolymer ply (33) of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, or blends thereof, a second intermediate layer (34) such as a polyester film having an electrically conductive material (44) thereon, and an outer layer of an antistatic material (36). The laminate may be formed by hot roll lamination or an adhesive may be used between the first and second layers.
Abstract:
The invention resides in a nonlinear aromatic polyamide fiber having a reversible deflection greater than 1.2:1 when measured at ambient temperatures, a variation of fiber diameter not more than 15 percent at the bends or crimps of the fiber, and a bending strain value of less than 50 percent, and the method of preparing said fiber.
Abstract:
Plastic pellets showing improved behavior upon extrusion, comprising coating the pellets with a fused layer of certain waxes or polymeric materials; and a method of preparation, comprising heating the plastic pellets to a temperature just below the softening or fusing temperature of the additive while blending the pellet in a high intensity blender, introducing the additive and maintaining intense blending until the temperature is above the fusing temperature of the additive, and discharging the coated pellets from the blender.
