Abstract:
New and novel copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene containing up to about 24 % by weight hexafluoropropylene having improved solution clarity and fluidity, longer gel times and lower extractables than prior art vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymers of comparable HFP content whose syntheses are disclosed in sufficient detail to duplicate, to novel compositions of matter and articles of manufacture containing such copolymers, processes for the preparation and use of the copolymers, of the compositions of matter containing such copolymers and of the articles of manufacture containing such copolymers are disclosed.
Abstract:
New and novel poly(monoperoxycarbonates) of general structure (A), where R, R1 and n are defined in the summary of the invention such as 1,1,1-tris(t-butylperoxycarbonyloxymethyl)ethane, intermediates for their preparation as well as processes for their preparation and use are disclosed. The monoperoxycarbonate compounds are useful in initiating the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, particularly styrene, curing of unsaturated polyester resins, and in modifying the molecular weight of polymers such as by cross-linking or controlled chain degradation.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the eradication of and subsequent inhibition of bivalve mollusk settlement on solid surfaces immersed in water inhabited by said mollusk comprising introducing into said water, a specified tertiary amine salt at a rate and for a time at least sufficient to inhibit settlement of said mollusk.
Abstract:
The inventors disclose a process for reducing high current density edge buildup dendrite formation, edge burn, controlling high current density roughness, grain size, and orientation of a zinc coating obtained from an aqueous zinc acidic electrogalvanic coating bath comprising passing a high density current from a zinc anode in the bath to a metal cathode in the bath for a period of time sufficient to deposit a zinc coating on the cathode. The bath contains greater than about 5g/l of a water soluble zinc organosulfonate. A random or block polyoxyalkylene glycol homopolymer or copolymer based on 2 to about 4 carbon atom alkylene oxides. The inventors employ current densities from about 250 to about 4,000 ASF, and optionally, a sulfonated condensation product of naphthalene and formaldehyde, a boron oxide compound, and a lignin compound. The invention also comprises bath compositions.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for the preparation of alkanesulfonamide containing low amounts of ammonium or alkylammonium-salt impurities wherein alkanesulfonamide is treated with a base to convert ammonium or alkylammonium-salt impurities to their corresponding base salts and to liberate neutral amine or ammonia.
