Abstract: Two-component polymeric compositions having two interconnected solid phases, and exhibiting spinodal decomposition morphology at the domain boundaries are shown, as are methods for forming the same. The compositions are prepared from two different polymers, one of which possesses ductility in that it shows substantial yield behavior under tensile stressing, the other being brittle, exhibiting no such behavior; thermoplastic polymers, in conjunction with thermotropic liquid crystalline materials, exemplify such systems. The desired morphology is created by preparing the two component compositions in a single solid phase below the lower critical solution temperature of the compositions, and thereafter heating the compositions above such temperature to form a two-phase system. After a predetermined period of time at the upper temperature, during which spinodal decomposition spontaneously occurs, stabilization of the spinodal morphology is achieved by lowering the temperature of the compositions below the lower of its two glass transition temperatures.

Abstract: In electroless or electric tin, lead or tin-lead alloy plating solution which may contain copper, the concentration of a metal ion component selected from divalent tin ion, lead ion, and copper ion is quantitatively determined by taking a sample from the solution, adding a chemical agent to the sample, thereby causing the selected metal ion to develop its color, measuring the absorbance of the sample due to the metal ion by colorimetry, and determining the concentration from the absorbance. A choice of chemical agent depends on a particular metal ion on analysis. When the solution contains more than one metal ion, correction is made by repeating the process using another chemical agent.

Abstract: The magneto-optical recording apparatus which records information through the processes of: first irradiating a light beam on to a magneto-optical recording medium (1) having a recording film (13); applying an external magnetic field that is inverted in response to a recording signal onto the recording film while continuing the first process. The intensity of the light beam is dropped upon inversion of the external magnetic field so that information is not recorded. For recording of information, intensity of the light beam is raised during non-inversion of the external magnetic field. Further, the magneto-optical recording apparatus is provided with a light intensity control device (6) for varying the intensity of the light beam dependent of the lengths of recording bits so that the high-temperature area of the recording film is not widened. Since the width of the recording bits is uniformly maintained, the remaining of the recording bit after overwriting operation can be reduced; thus, the signal quality in reproduction can be enhanced.
