Abstract:
The coating of 25-75% Ni/75-25% Zn alloy is electrodeposited by (a)cleaning and rinsing the cathode can, (b)immersing the can in a plating soln. contg. Ni and Zn ions, (c)immersing plating anodes in the can parallel to the cathode tubes(16), (d)passing d.c. between the tubes and anodes to deposit Ni-Zn alloy on the inside and outside of the tubes, and (e)removing the anodes and leaching the coating to remove at least some of the Zn. The method is used to produce active coatings on chloralkali cell cathodes to reduce the hydrogen discharge overpotential.
Abstract:
A modified diaphragm electrolytic cell used for electrolysis of a soln. of common salt was described. By using an expandable cathode in the cell, the cell prevented a drop of current efficiency from electrolysis processing. That consisted of a cathode chamber and an anode chamber by installing a diaphragm. The cathode consisted of a cathode face, a cathode riser and a connector. The diaphragm included a settlement of asbestos coated discontinuously with a thermoplastic polymer.
Abstract:
Un revetement cathodique comprend un catalyseur pour la liberation de l'hydrogene finement disperse dans une matrice consistant en un polymere semi-conducteur insoluble qui est forme in situ sur un corps de support d'electrode. Une electrode bipolaire est pourvue d'un tel revetement cathodique sur un corps de support consistant en un metal de valve tel que du titane. Le revetement cathodique est forme en appliquant sur le corps de support de l'electrode une solution de revetement qui contient un compose precurseur inorganique pour le catalyseur de liberation de l'hydrogene et un compose precurseur organique pour former la matrice polymere, en sechant puis en convertissant thermiquement ces precurseurs sur un revetement cathodique adherant sur le corps de support de l'electrode.
Abstract:
Normally solid copolymers of a fluorinated vinyl monomer and a perfluorinated vinyl compound having a carboxyl and/or sulfonyl group attached directly to the perfluorinated vinyl group or indirectly through an alkyl or ether linkage have been found to be soluble in low molecular weight polymers of perhalogenated alkyl ethers, low molecular weight polymers of perhalogenated alkyls and perfluoro kerosenes, each of said solvent materials having boiling points between about 200 C and 350 C. The copolymeric material dissolved in accordance with the instant invention can readily be resolidified by solvent removal and hydrolyzed or converted to the salt form to become a cation exchange material having an equivalent weight in the range of 1000 to 1600. Unreinforced sheet or shaped membrane can be formed using the dissolved copolymeric material and may be made by casting or coating on a removable backing sheet followed by removal of the solvent to result in a continuous, pore-free sheet or shaped membrane. Multiple coatings or other techniques can be used to build up the desired thickness of the membrane. Reinforced sheet or shaped membrane may be produced by similar manufacturing techniques wherein the casting or coating of the membrane is upon a reinforcing backing fabric, which can be polytetrafluoroethylene mesh or the like. Such reinforcing fabrics may be dipped into hot solutions of the copolymeric material using mandrel, frame, continuous roll coating techniques or other methods known to those familiar with the coating art. In the case of reinforced sheet material, no removable backing is necessary in preparing the reinforced membrane sheets. The copolymeric material which is used in making the sheet or shaped membrane can be a single material or it can be of various equivalent weights, structures (carboxyl or sulfonyl, mixtures of same, or the sheets or shaped membranes can be layered of the same or different materials). It is sometimes preferred to purify the surface between coatings by using Freon-type solvents in the process of making asymmetric membranes, when utilizing a multiple coating technique. Such purifications result in better bonds between the layers, especially when different materials are utilized in adjacent layers, although such is not necessary in the practice of the instant invention.

Membrane coated cathodes can be formed using the dissolved copolymeric material and may be made by casting or coating a foraminous cathode followed by removal of the solvent to result in a continuous, pore-free coating of membrane on the cathode. Multiple coatings or other techniques can be used to build up the desired thickness of the membrane. Reinforced membrane may be produced by similar manufacturing techniques wherein the casting or coating of the membrane is upon a reinforcing backing fabric, which can be polytetrafluoroethylene mesh or the like is first wrapped around the foraminous cathode. The copolymeric material which is used in making the membrane coated cathode can be a single material or it can be of various equivalent weights, structures (carboxyl or sulfonyl, mixtures of same, or can be layers of the same or different materials).

Abstract:
A semi-conducting, stable polychelate coating is manufactured in situ on a conducting substrate providing metal coordination centres, by carrying out a controlled chelating reaction and thermal treatment on the substrate surface with a predetermined specific amount (Xo) of tetranitrile compound per unit substrate area. The temperature and duration as well as this specific amount (Xo) are selected from given ranges to form a uniform polychelate coating bonded to the substrate surface. Titanium electrodes are provided with such polychelate coatings for different purposes. Electrodes with other metal substrates are further provided with such polychelate coatings.
Abstract:
Improved ostomy seals are obtained by radiation crosslinking a seal comprising a water soluble acrylamide polymer plasticized with a quantity of a water-miscible polvol (containing water) that provides an elastomeric gel. The seals are applied to the abdominal wall about a surgically formed opening for the terminal end of the intestine or a duct to provide a leak-proof seal between the body and a receptacle.
