Abstract: Disclosed are a conductive thienyl derivative monomolecular film covalently bonded to a substrate surface and method of manufacturing the same, and a silicon compound comprising 3-thienyl groups (thiophene derivative) used for forming the conductive monomolecular film and a method of manufacturing the same. A monomolecular ultrathin film comprising 3-thienyl groups and silicon groups is formed in the invention. The silicon compound used for forming the film is provided by reacting ω-(3-thienyl)-1-alkene compound to a monosilane derivative compound, in which three out of four hydrogen atoms of monosilane are replaced with halogen or alkoxy groups, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst. A substrate is dipped and held in a nonaqueous solution of the above-noted compound, thus chemically bonding the monomolecular film to the substrate surface. Furthermore, a thienyl derivative ultrathin film is formed by the electrolytic or catalytic polymerization of the monomolecular film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a damper bearing (5) which can be loaded axially during expansion and/or compression and permits limited universal movements for articulated coupling of the free end of a piston rod (3), running in and out in the damper tube (2) of a telescopic shock absorber (1), to the body (4) of a motor vehicle. In order to obtain the greatest possible damper travel for the smallest possible overall axial length, the inner part of the damper bearing (5) is designed as first bearing cap (6), open towards the damper tube (2), the inside width (Di) of which up to the cap base (9) is in each case at least somewhat greater than the outside diameter (Da) of the end area of the damper tube (2) adjacent to it, so that the damper tube (2) can run in up to the cap base (5) of the said first bearing cap (6) during compression of the wheel. The outer part of the damper bearing (5) is in turn designed as second bearing cap (7) enclosing the first bearing cap (6) with a gap both in the base and in the wall area, with an inside flange (11) projecting radially inwards in the axial gap below the first bearing cap (6), the inside width Di' of the inside flange (11) also being at least somewhat larger than the outside diameter of the end area of the damper tube (2) adjacent to it. The two bearing caps (6, 7) are connected to one another by way of rubber elastic elements, a first annular rubber body (81) of smaller average ring diameter on the one hand being arranged in the area or in the immediate area of the cap bases (9, 12) radially as tight as possible on the piston rod (3) passing through there and a second annular rubber body (82) of larger average ring diameter on the other hand being arranged between the inside flange (11) of the second bearing cap (7) and an area (13) of the first bearing cap (6) at least partially radially overlapping the inside flange (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to low density, water-blown, rigid foams with good physical properties made with blends of toluenediamme (TDA)/glycerine initiated polyols. The foams made using these blends exhibit no initial surface friability. Further, it was found that specific blends of lower hydroxyl number polyols could be used, thereby reducing isocyanate consumption without affecting the physical properties of the foam.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises a first thin dielectric buffer layer of a first leakage-current-density material (e.g. strontium titanate  32 ) with a first moderate-dielectric-constant, a high-dielectric-constant layer of a second leakage-current-density material (e.g. barium strontium titanate  34 ) overlaying the first thin dielectric buffer layer, and a second thin dielectric buffer layer of a third leakage-current-density material (e.g. strontium titanate  36 ) with a second moderate-dielectric-constant overlaying the high-dielectric-constant layer, wherein the first and third leakage-current-density materials have substantially lower leakage-current-densities than the second leakage-current-density material. The first and second thin moderate-dielectric-constant buffer layers (e.g. strontium titanate  32 ,  36 ) substantially limit the leakage-current-density of the structure, with only modest degradation of the dielectric constant of the structure. The possibly lower dielectric constant of the structure is generally compensated for by the reduced leakage current of the structure. The additional layers generally require only minor modifications of existing processes, since the same processes that are used for the high-dielectric-constant oxide can generally be used for the low leakage-current-density dielectric. These structures may also be used for multilayer capacitors and other thin-film ferroelectric devices such as pyroelectric materials, non-volatile memories, thin-film piezoelectric and thin-film electro-optic oxides.
