Abstract: A platinum black air cathode has an active layer and a support layer. The active layer comprises platinum black plus hydrophobic binder, typically a fluorinated polymer. The support layer may be made up from carbon black bound with a halopolymer binding agent. Such combination can provide for economical utilization of active ingredient without sacrifice of cathode structural integrity. To assist in this structural integrity, a thin support mesh may be used, preferably with the support layer. There can also be employed between the active layer and the support layer a porous bonding layer, which can find broader utilization with layered gas diffusion electrodes in general. For highly desirable, greatly extended operation of the platinum black air cathode, the cathode can be operated intermittently, or anodically polarized or be subjected to infrequent voltage suppression, as well as being involved with any combination of the foregoing.

Abstract: Ethylene oxide (EO) adducts of di- ard tri-functional starters, such as, trimethylolpropane and glycerine, provide unexpected improvements in the "wet compression set" properties of high resilience (HR) urethane foams. Heretofore, wet set improvements have been achieved through the use of EO adducts of tetrols because of the high degree of crosslink density which these materials impart to a urethane polymeric composition. One commercial wet set additive, which is an EO adduct of pentaerythritol and diglycerine, is an effective wet set improver. Surprisingly, EO adducts of di- and tri-functional starters provide improvements in foam wet set properties, which are comparable to those obtained with such commercial wet set additive. Specifically, EO adducts of glycerine in the 500 to 10,000 molecular weight range yield foam wet set improvements equal to those of such commercial wet set additive at as low as 20 percent of the use level on an equivalent weight basis. Moreover, the EO adducts of glycerine yield foams having improved elongation properties and improved processing (stability) characteristics as compared to those observed with such commercial wet set additives. An EO adduct of glycerine having a number average MW of 1,000 is particularly useful in the invention.

Abstract: A bonded optical fiber array (20) includes a parallel coplanar array of longitudinally extending contacting optical fibers (22-22). Each optical fiber is enclosed in inner and outer layers of coating materials and is provided with a color identifier. The inner layer is comprised of a UV curable bonding material having a modulus in the range of about 1 M Pa. For mechanical protection, the outer layer is a UV curable bonding material having a modulus in the range of about 1 GPa. When the optical fibers are disposed in the parallel array, interstices are created between the fibers and between the fibers and an envelope which is spaced no further than about 25 µm at its closest point to each fiber. A UV curable matrix bonding material which has a modulus having a value less than that of the outer coating layer on the fiber and more than that of the inner coating layer fills the interstices, extends to the peripheral line which defines the envelope and bonds together the optical fibers. The modulus of the matrix material and the bond of the matrix material to the color identifier on the optical fibers is such that interfiber and interribbon movement is allowed. Also, accessing of the individual fibers is allowed upon the application of peeling forces by a craftsperson without the need for complex tools and without obfuscating the color identifier.

Abstract: This invention discloses novel membranes comprised of a Send of polyarylate and polybenzimidazole polymers. A membrane prepared from the blend of polybenzimidazole and polyarylate polymers exhibits enhanced properties over membranes prepared solely from either a polyarylate or a polybenzimidazole polymer. The addition of the polyarylate to the polybenzimidazole membrane allows the composition to be more thermally processable and less susceptible to moisture. The presence of the polybenzimidazole renders the polyarylate less reactive to solvents and increases its thermal stability. In addition, it has been surprisingly found that membranes prepared from the polybenzimidazole polyarylate blends show high regeneration capacity while retaining good flux ranges. The membranes prepared by this process exhibit good separation characteristics and provide an improved membrane with enhanced qualities over prior art membranes.

Abstract: A variation of Pulse Coulometric Detection (PCD) is described in which the detection potential is scanned in a cyclic fashion during current integration to achieve automatic and virtual elimination of baseline drift caused by surface roughening and changes in pH. The technique is examined at a Au electrode for flow-injec­tion determination of thiourea which is typical of numerous sulfur compounds whose anodic reactions are catalyzed by formation of surface oxide. The baseline decays quickly to a near-zero equilibrium value follow­ing start-up and is unchanged for a pH step of ca. 2 units. The technique is concluded to be compatible with pH-gradient chromatography.
