Training Boat for Cadets. The Training Boats for Cadets (LICA) are a class of training boats developed by the Río Santiago Shipyard (ARS) to equip the Argentine Navy. With these additions, the ESNM will once again be in tune with the training institutes of the foreign Armed Forces of reference.

Design and development 
This class of ships began to be designed in 2014, as part of an agreement signed between the Argentine Navy and the Río Santiago Shipyard. Its design has been based on the Yard Class training boats of the United States Navy, although the hull lines, propulsion, structure, internal spaces, and engineering in general, are of national development. The LICA will have practical and theoretical instruction capacity for cadets, in coastal navigation up to 12 nautical miles from the coast. It has equipment and systems in accordance with the regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In its construction, nationally manufactured materials will be prioritized. Each unit will have a classroom with capacity for 20 people that can be adapted to nursing if the situation requires it. It will also have HF, VHF and UHF communications and food storage for voyages lasting a minimum of 10 days. Its design characteristics will also allow the practice of the typical seafaring tasks of a warship. Due to its navigation capacity throughout the sea and river coast, its specific purpose of instruction can be complemented with humanitarian aid tasks in case of natural disasters.

The Navy has ordered two units for the Military Naval School with the first expected to enter service in late 2018 or early 2019. In November 2017, the assembly of the first boat was completed, which was launched in October 2021.

Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether. Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NPGDGE) is an organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. It is aliphatic and a colorless liquid. It has the formula C11H20O4 and the CAS registry number of 17557-23-2. It has two oxirane groups per molecule. Its principle use is in modifying epoxy resins.

It is REACH registered. The IUPAC name is 2-[[2,2-dimethyl-3-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)propoxy]methyl]oxirane.

Synthesis
Neopentyl glycol and epichlorohydrin are reacted in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to form a halohydrin. This is followed by washing with sodium hydroxide in dehydrochlorination step. This forms Neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether. The waste products are water and sodium chloride and excess caustic soda. One of the quality control tests would involve measuring the Epoxy value by determination of the epoxy equivalent weight.

Uses
A key use is modifying the viscosity and properties of epoxy resins. As an Epoxy modifier it is classed as an epoxy reactive diluent. which may then be formulated into CASE applications: Coatings,  Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers and composite materials. These uses include cationic polymerization reactions. The use of the diluent does effect mechanical properties and microstructure of epoxy resins. It is also used to synthesize other molecules.

Toxicity
NPGDGE toxicity is fairly well understood. It is classed as a skin irritant and skin sensitizer.

Albert Portevin. Albert Marcel Germain René Portevin (1 November 1880 – 12 April 1962) was a French metallurgist who contributed to the development of chromium based stainless steels. He was also involved in studies on tensile stress and deformation and the so-called Portevin–Le Chatelier effect is named after him and François Le Châtelier.

Portevin was born in Paris where his mother raised him following the early death of his father. He studied chemistry at the École centrale des arts et manufactures in 1899 and continued to work there. He became a professor in 1925. He studied steel alloys in 1905 at the Établissements de Dion-Bouton and used micrography to examine chrome steels of varying chrome content for their resistance to corrosion. Greater than 9% chromium made steel resistant to acids. After identifying the optimal chrome level he was involved in reducing the problem caused by brittleness. Portevin examined cooling curves for Cadmium Bismuth alloys and began to conduct thermal analysis to study shrinkage, brittleness and hardness. He defined measures of castability (the ability to fill moulds), the weldability and hardenability. He found ways to reduce the brittleness of stainless steels to make them amenable to production processes by studies on the transitions between martensite and austenite.

Portevin edited the journal Revue de métallurgie from 1907 and taught at the École supérieure de fonderie et de forge. He was elected to the French Academy of Sciences in 1942 and served as its president in 1959. He was elected Foreign Member of the Royal Society in 1952 and made Grand Officier of the Legion d'Honneur in 1954.
