Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a process for making an emulsion. The process comprises: flowing a first liquid through a process microchannel having a wall with an apertured section; flowing a second liquid through the apertured section into the process microchannel in contact with the first liquid, the second liquid being immiscible with the first liquid, the first liquid forming a continuous phase, and the second liquid forming a discontinuous phase dispersed in the first liquid.

Abstract:
The present invention provides chemical reactors and reaction chambers and methods for conducting catalytic chemical reactions having gas phase reactants. In preferred embodiments, these reaction chambers and methods include at least one porous catalyst material that has pore sizes large enough to permit molecular diffusion within the porous catalyst material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel organic silane compound, and more particularly, to a novel organic silane compound, useful in various applications, for the purpose of improving the affinity of an organic resin to an inorganic filler or improving the adhesion of a coating layer comprising matrix resin to a substrate. It is particularly useful for improving the adhesion of a polarizing plate adhesive for a liquid crystal display to a glass substrate, with little change over time even under hot and humid conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a catalyst structure and method of making the catalyst structure for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis that both rely upon the catalyst structure having a first porous structure with a first pore surface area and a first pore size of at least about 0.1 μm, preferably from about 10 μm to about 300 μm. A porous interfacial layer with a second pore surface area and a second pore size less than the first pore size is placed upon the first pore surface area. Finally, a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium, iron and combinations thereof is placed upon the second pore surface area. Further improvement is achieved by using a microchannel reactor wherein the reaction chamber walls define a microchannel with the catalyst structure is placed therein through which pass reactants. The walls may separate the reaction chamber from at least one cooling chamber. The present invention also includes a method of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

This invention relates to a process for conducting an equilibrium limited chemical reaction in a single stage process channel. A process for conducting a water shift reaction is disclosed. A multichannel reactor with cross flow heat exchange is disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a lithium secondary battery with high stability and excellent performance, and its manufacturing method. The lithium secondary battery includes a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material, a conductive material and a binding material and a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material and a binding material, and PTC powder is contained in at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. If the battery is overheated due to overcharge, the PTC powder contained in the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode abruptly increases electric resistance to break electric current, thereby preventing further increase of temperature and resultantly preventing fire or explosion. In addition, the conductive material is contained separately from the PTC powder, performance of the battery is not deteriorated in the normal operation.
