摘要:
Fine particles of gallium or gallium alloy that are covered with a coating agent on the surface can be dispersed in a solvent such as an engine oil, n-hexane, etc., to make a variety of useful liquid suspensions which include a modified automotive engine oil, which is superior to a commercial engine oil; a liquid ski wax which is portable in a cylindrical container; and the like.
摘要:
A synthetic resin composition having particles of metallic gallium or gallium alloy dispersed uniformly in a synthetic resin is particularly useful for the production of a surfacing material for a glider for use on snow or ice. When a molten paraffin wax is applied to such surfacing material, part of the wax penetrates into the resultant sheet to form a gallium-paraffin mixture on the surface of the gallium particles and at lower snow or ice temperatures, the gallium particles expand, and as a result of their expansion, the gallium particles are held strongly enough on the gliding surface of, for example, a ski to maintain good water-repelling and glide characteristic over a prolonged period without the gallium-paraffin mixture becoming detached from the ski. The composition is also useful for many other similar uses such as a plastic gear, a constructional material, a marine structural material and the like, because of its excellent glide, water-repelling and wear resisting properties, which can be retained for a prolonged period.
