摘要:
A mass spectrometer is provided herein and is configured to have two ionization sources, in which a first ionization source, such as MALDI, ESI and the like, which is capable of providing in addition to ions a set of normally intractable desorbed neutrals that are ionized by a second EI source coupled with the first source.

A time-of-flight mass spectrometer includes a sample holder for a sample and an ionizer for ionizing the sample to form ions. A first element is spaced downstream from the sample holder, a second element is spaced downstream from the first element, and a drift region is downstream of the second element. An electric field is established between the sample holder and the first element at a time subsequent to ionizing the sample in order to extract the ions. A time-dependent and mass-correlated electric field is established between at least one of: (a) the first element and the second element, and (b) the sample holder and the first element. In turn, a detector detects the ions.

A reflectron for use with a mass spectrometer that focuses ions having different energies contains a conductive end cap that is electrically connected to a first voltage. A conductive surface is electrically isolated from the end cap and connected to a second voltage. This conductive surface cooperates with the conductive end cap to establish an inner region in which a non-linear electric field exists. As a result, ions having different energies enter and exit the inner region at a common opening and, when within the inner region, are reflected without penetrating past the conductive surface.

A method and apparatus for trapping ions in an ion trap having a ring electrode and a plurality of end-cap electrodes. Ions are introduced into a ion trap cavity of the ion trap from an external source or by desorption of a substance in the ion trap cavity. In a first embodiment, as the ions are introduced in the ion trap cavity, the amplitude of an RF voltage being applied to the ring electrode is gradually increased to trap the ions in the ion trap cavity. In a second embodiment, as the ions are introduced in the ion trap cavity, a retarding voltage is applied to the end-caps to reduce the initial kinetic energy of the ions. In a third embodiment, as the ions are introduced in the ion trap cavity from a probe tip inserted in the cavity, a retarding voltage is applied to the probe tip.

Described herein is a composition which contains a specific group of hardeners, an epoxy resin and a thermoplastic polymer. When combined with a structural fiber the composition produces composites which have improved impact resistance, improved tensile properties and high compressive properties.
摘要:
A tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometer comprises a grounded vacuum housing, two reflecting-type mass analyzers coupled via a collision chamber, and flight channels electrically floated with respect to the grounded vacuum housing. The first reflecting-type mass analyzer receives ionized molecules (ions). These ions pass through the flight channel of the first reflecting-type mass analyzer and are fragmented in the collision chamber. The fragmented ions pass through the flight channel of the second reflecting-type mass analyzer. Detectors disposed in the collision chamber and in the second reflecting-type mass analyzer detect the spectrum of the first reflecting-type mass analyzer and the spectra of the tandem time-of-flight mass analyzer, respectively.
摘要:
The invention describes a novel process for the preparation of polycarbonate and/or polyarylate block copolymers with poly(aryl ethers). The process is comprised of the steps:(a) the reaction of a dihydroxy-terminated poly(aryl ether) oligomer with a high molecular weight polycarbonate, or a high molecular weight polyarylate, or a high molecular weight poly(arylate-carbonate) to yield a block copolymer; followed by(b) the coupling of the material obtained in step (a) to the required molecular weight, using a diaryl ester of carbonic acid or of a dicarboxylic acid.Both steps are performed in the presence of a catalyst. The copolymerizations can be run in bulk under vacuum in a single or twin screw extruder. Using the above conditions high molecular weight, high quality block copolymers having a combination of excellent properties are obtained in a matter of minutes.
