    Abstract: Adjustable fastener tools are provided for engaging socket heads. The tool includes a support member, multiple engagement fingers, and an adjustment mechanism. The support member has multiple radially-extending tracks, and a central opening, and the fingers are associated with, and slidable along, the radially-extending tracks. The fingers include at radially inner ends jaws with respective contact surfaces for engaging the socket head. The adjustment mechanism resides, at least in part, within the central opening in the support member, and couples to the fingers. The adjustment mechanism includes an actuating member and multiple hinged trusses. A hinged truss of the trusses is hingedly coupled at one end to the actuating member and hingedly coupled at an other end to a respective finger of the engagement fingers. Movement of the actuating member results, via the hinged truss, in slidable movement of the respective finger along its associated radially-extending track.

    Abstract: A flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer, a process for forming a flame-retardant polymer, and an article of manufacture comprising a material that contains flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer are disclosed. The flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer can be synthesized from vanillin obtained from a bio-based source, and can have at least one phosphoryl or phosphonyl moiety with phenyl, allyl, epoxide, or propylene carbonate substituents. The process for forming the flame-retardant polymer can include reacting a vanillin derivative and a flame-retardant phosphorus-based molecule to form the flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer, and then polymerizing the flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer. The material in the article of manufacture can be flame-retardant, and contain the flame-retardant vanillin-derived monomer. Examples of materials that can be in the article of manufacture can include resins, plastics, adhesives, polymers, etc.

    Abstract: A flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecule, a process for forming a flame-retardant resin, and an article of manufacture comprising a material that contains the flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecule are disclosed. The flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecule can be synthesized from vanillin obtained from a bio-based source, and can have at least one phosphoryl or phosphonyl moiety with phenyl, allyl, epoxide, propylene carbonate, or thioether substituents. The process for forming the flame-retardant resin can include reacting a vanillin derivative and a flame-retardant phosphorus-based molecule to form the flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecule, and binding the flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecule to a resin. The flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecules can also be bound to polymers. The material in the article of manufacture can be flame-retardant, and contain the flame-retardant vanillin-derived molecules. Examples of materials that can be in the article of manufacture can include resins, plastics, adhesives, polymers, etc.

    Abstract: An elastomer, a process for forming an elastomer, and an article of manufacture are disclosed. The elastomer comprises a phosphazene backbone and at least one polyhexahydrotriazine component. The process for forming the elastomer includes obtaining an amine-terminated cyclotriphosphazene, reacting it with a diamine to form a phosphazene-containing PHT polymer, and then reacting the phosphazene-containing PHT polymer with a side-chain modified cyclic phosphazene to form a PCPHT elastomer with halogen ligands. The PCPHT elastomer with halogen ligands is then reacted with an alkoxide to form a PCPHT elastomer with at least one ether-linked side chain. The article of manufacture comprises a material comprising an elastomer having a phosphazene backbone and at least one PHT component.

    Abstract: A process of providing a coating having a hydrophobic, electrically conductive porous metallic surface on a substrate includes forming a metal-infused plastic lattice that includes a plastic lattice infused with metal particles, and then removing the plastic lattice from the metal-infused plastic lattice. A surface of at least some of the metal particles is textured to increase hydrophobicity by exposing the surface to laser light. In some embodiments, the metal particles are exposed to laser light from a femtosecond pulse laser to produce hydrophobic metal particles before the metal-infused plastic lattice is formed. In other embodiments, the surface of at least some of the metal particles is exposed to laser light from a femtosecond pulse laser after the metal-infused plastic lattice is formed.
