The extrusion of polymers below their melting temperatures by the application of high pressures

Abstract: A number of polymers have been “cold” extruded (i.e. at temperatures well below their normal melting temperatures) by the application of relatively high pressures. In all cases extrudates of relatively large cross-sectional area have been produced, and non-circular cross-sections have also been extruded. The extruded products has been evaluated and the results discussed. In general it has been found that whilst extrusion gives an oriented product, the increase in tensile modulus is much less than for a comparably drawn fibre. This phenomenon has been discussed in terms of the changes in crystalline structure produced by extrusion.

Dental compositions from urethane acrylate, diacrylate monomer, camphorquinone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental composition which is suitable as a fissure sealant, dental glaze, bonding agent or orthodontic adhesive and which is a mixture of a selected vinyl urethane prepolymer, selected comonomer, and visible light cure catalyst comprising an organic amine and selected α-diketone

Effects of Gibberellic Acid on Development of Autumn Colour and Leaf-fall of Deciduous Woody Plants

Abstract: GIBBERELLIC ACID does not affect petiole abscission in Coleus explants1, but we have found that treatment of some intact deciduous woody plants with gibberellic acid markedly influences development of autumn foliage colour and leaf-fall.

Process for the carbonylation of ethylene and catalyst system for use therein

Abstract: A catalyst system capable of catalysing the carbonylation of ethylene and a process which uses such a system wherein the catalyst system is obtainable by combining a metal of Group VIII, e.g. palladium, or a compound thereof and a bidentate phosphine, e.g. bis (di-t-butyl phosphino) - o - xylene.

The composition of the leachate through cropped and uncropped soils in lysimeters compared with that of the rain

Abstract: The composition of the leachate from undisturbed monolith lysimeters cropped with white clover or meadow fescue or maintained bare was compared with that of the rain falling on them. No nitrogen fertilizer was applied only an initial dressing of phosphorus and potassium. The grass received much more nitrogen from the rain than it lost by leaching whereas the clover lost more than it received. Most of the leached nitrogen was NO3-N - 92 per cent on the bare soil and 90 per cent on the clover. About 27lb nitrogen per acre (30 kg/ha) per year was drained from the actively growing clover sward rising to about 117lb N/acre/year (131 kg/ha) when the clover died or was removed. Only 2.3lb/ac (2.5 kg/ha) was drained from the actively growing grass sward. It was estimated that the clover fixed at least 270lb N/ac/year (303 kg/ha/year. The rates of leaching of potassium from a grass sward was about 1.7lb/ac/year (1.9 kg/ha) and 0.8 lb (0.9 kg) phosphorus. The quantities were similar for clover. The grass received from the rain more phosphorus and potassium than was leached but only 60 per cent of the calcium and 13 per cent of the magnesium, similar results being obtained with white clover.
