The invention provides rolls, belts and other biasable members having at least one layer or coating of an elastomeric resilient polyurethane formed by reacting (a) a polyisocyanate prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a saturated aliphatic polyisocyanate, a saturated cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate, or an aromatic polyisocyanate and a polyol free of aliphatic unsaturation, preferably a polyalkylene glycol in which the alkylene group contains 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (b) a hardening mixture comprising a polyol of (a) or a diamine free of aliphatic unsaturation, or a mixture thereof and, as a conductivity control agent, from 0.001 to 5.0 weight percent, based on the total weight of (b), of a complex of ethylene glycil or an oligoethylene glycol selected from the group consisting of di-, tri- and tetraethylene glycol with an ionizable ferric halide salt selected from the group consisting of ferric flouride, ferric chloride and ferric bromide.

Moisture stable polyurethane biasable transfer members

The invention provides rolls, belts and other biasable members having at least one layer or coating of an elastomeric resilient crosslinked polyurethane formed by reacting (a) a polyisocyanate prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a saturated aliphatic polyisocyanate, a saturated cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate, or an aromatic polyisocyanate and a polyol free of aliphatic unsaturation, preferably a polyalkylene glyocl in which the alkylene group contains 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (b) a hardening mixture comprising a polyol of (a) or a diamine free of aliphatic unsaturation, or a mixture thereof and, as a conductivity control agent, from 0.001 to 5.0 weight percent, based on the total weight of (b), of a complex of ethylene glyocl or an oligoethylene glyocl selected from the group consisting of di-, tri- and tetraethylene glyocl with an ionizable zinc halide salt consisting of zinc chloride in the presence of an organometallic catalyst in which bismuth constitutes the metallic component thereof. The resistivity of the elastomeric resilient polyurethane coating on the biasable member is controlled or adjusted to within a desired level of resistivity due to the inclusion of the conductivity control agent in the crosslinked polyurethane elastomer. The utility of such biasable members is in the transfer of toner images from an electrostatographic element comprising a conductive support surface to a final support sheet where the member electrically cooperates with the conductive support surface to establish a directional force field therebetween.

A method and catalysts for selective hydrogenation and isomerization which involves contacting a feedstream with hydrogen and with various supported catalysts of metallic arsenides and antimonides, with carbon monoxide being optionally introduced into the reaction as a modifier.

Selective removal of 1,2 polyenes and acetylenic compounds from conjugated-diene feed using a nickel, iron or cobalt arsenide catalyst

A process for the selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons having three and more carbon atoms and several double bonds or with triple bonds in monoene-containing hydrocarbon mixtures is described. These compounds are selectively hydrogenated to monoenes in a practically quantitative fashion. Before beginning the hydrogenation, a small amount of carbon monoxide and once to twice the stoichiometric quantity of hydrogen are homogeneously dissolved in the hydrocarbon mixture. The mixture is hydrogenated as a homogeneous liquid phase on a fixed palladium catalyst under a moderately high pressure and at a moderately high temperature. No isomerization can be found in the monoenes and no side reactions or secondary reactions occur.

Process for the selective hydrogenation of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons in hydrocarbon mixtures

The invention provides rolls, belts and other biasable members having at least one layer or coating of an elastomeric resilient polyurethane formed by reacting (a) a polyisocyanate prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a saturated aliphatic polyisocyanate, a saturated cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate, or an aromatic polyisocyanate and a polyol free of aliphatic unsaturation, preferably a polyalkylene glycol in which the alkylene group contains 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (b), a hardening mixture comprising a polyol of (a) or a diamine free of aliphatic unsaturation, or a mixture thereof and, as a conductivity control agent, from 0.001 to 5.0 weight percent, based on the total weight of (b), of a complex of ethylene glycol or an oligoethylene glycol selected from the group consisting of di-, tri- and tetraethylene glycol with an ionizable metal halide salt selected from the group consisting of stannic tetrafluoride, stannic tetrachloride, stannic tetrabromide and stannic tetraiodide. The resistivity of the elastomeric resilient polyurethane coating on the biasable member is controlled or adjusted to within a desired level of resistivity due to the inclusion of the conductivity control agent in the polyurethane elastomer. Additionally, the inclusion of the conductivity control agent in the polyurethane elastomer reduces the sensitivity or the resistivity of the polyurethane coating on the biasable member to changes in relative humidity. Further, since the conductivity control agent is copolymerized with the polyisocyanate prepolymers and the polyols and/or polyamines which comprise the hardening mixtures used to make the elastomeric polyurethane coatings of the biasable members of the invention, the conductivity control agent is bonded covalently to the polyurethane elastomer matrix or network, i.e., to the backbone, crosslinking or branched portion of the polyurethane elastomer where it forms a permanently fixed part of the polymer and will not migrate therefrom resulting in a continuous change in the resistivity of the polyurethane coating over time and possible adverse affects on materials that may come into contact with the migrating agent. The utility of such biasable members is in the transfer of toner images from an electrostatographic element comprising a conductive support surface, such as a photoconductive support surface or a photoconductor, to a final support sheet where the member, for example, a bias transfer roll, electrically cooperates with the conductive support surface to establish a directional force field therebetween.
