Anomalous glasses include glasses with a SiO2 content (in mol %) greater than 80 mol %, and the glasses can contain other elements that give the glass highly desirable properties such as impact resistance. Examples include Corning ULE glass 4 wt % to

Glass articles for use as covers in electronic devices and methods for forming the same are described herein. The glass articles generally include a shaped glass substrate comprising a first face, a second face and a perimeter edge. The shaped glass substrate may be formed from strengthened glass such that the shaped glass substrate has a compressive stress layer which improves the ability of the glass article to withstand surface damage without cracking. A polymer overmold is coupled to the attachment feature of the perimeter edge of the shaped glass substrate thereby protecting the perimeter edge of the shaped glass substrate from damage. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the perimeter edge of the shaped glass substrate comprises an attachment feature offset from the first face. In another embodiment the polymer overmold is integrally formed with at least one connector.

A polymer based index-matching gel for use with nanostructure optical fibers is disclosed. The index-matching gel has a viscosity η at 25° C. of 3 Pa-s≦η≦100 Pa-s, which prevents the index-matching gel from wicking into the voids and down the nanostructure optical fiber to a depth where the fiber performance and/or device performance is compromised. The gel is suitable for use when mechanically splicing optical fibers when at least one of the optical fibers is a nanostructure optical fiber. The gel is also suitable for use in fiber optic connectors wherein at least one of the optical fibers constituting the connection is a nanostructure optical fiber.

A method of preparing an optical preform includes the steps of: a) etching an optical preform to remove a portion of an oxide material deposited on the preform by using a gas comprising an etchant gas containing fluorine at a sufficient temperature and gas concentration to create a redeposited germanium containing compounds contamination such as GeOx in the remaining oxide material; and b) cleaning the etched preform using a cleaning gas containing at least one halogen gas at a sufficient temperature and gas concentration to remove the redeposited germanium containing compound contamination without any substantial further contamination of the remaining deposited oxide material. Preferably the halogen is either chlorine or bromine.

Disclosed are compositions for applying to honeycomb bodies. The compositions can be used as plugging mixtures for forming a ceramic wall flow filter. Alternatively, the compositions can be used to form skin coatings on exterior portions of a honeycomb body. The disclosed compositions include an inorganic powder batch composition, an organic binder, a liquid vehicle, and a rheology modifier. The compositions exhibit improved rheological properties, including an increased yield strength and reduced viscosity under shear, which, among various embodiments, can enable the manufacture of sintered phase end plugs having reduced levels of dimple and pinhole formations in the final dried and fired end plugs as well as end plugs having relatively uniform and desired depths. Also disclosed are methods for forming end plugged ceramic wall flow filters from the plugging mixtures disclosed herein.
摘要:
Hydrophobic polymer surfaces whose level of protein binding is less than about 50-80 ng/cm2 are achieved by: (1) applying a coating solution composed of a solvent and a non-ionic surfactant having a HLB number of less than 5 to the surface; and (2) drying the surface to remove the solvent and thereby bring the surfactant into direct contact with the hydrophobic polymer. The combination of a low HLB number and the drying step have been found to produce low binding surfaces which can withstand multiple washes with water and/or protein-containing solutions. Alternatively, the low binding surfaces can be produced by applying the non-ionic surfactant to the mold surfaces which contact molten polymer and form the polymer into a desired shape, e.g., into a multi-well plate, a pipette tip, or the like. Further, the low binding surfaces may be produced by incorporating non-soluble, non-ionic surfactants having an HLB number of less than or equal to 10 into a polymer blend prior to molding the article.
