摘要:
A guide wire (1) for use with a catheter comprises a core wire (3) terminating in a distal portion (18) of flat ribbon-like construction having respective opposite major surfaces (29,30). A spring (24) is brazed to a distal end (27) of the distal portion (18) and to the core wire (3) at a tapering portion (14). A reinforcing member (38) extends axially along the distal portion (18) from a proximal end (26) of the distal portion (18) to a location (40) for reinforcing the distal portion (18) for in turn increasing its torsional rigidity in order to minimise axial twisting of the distal portion (18). A guide portion (42) of the distal portion (18) between the location (40) and the distal end (27) is provided to be bent at a desired set curved configuration for offsetting a distal tip (9) of the guide wire (1) from a central axis (8) thereof, so that by rotating the guide wire (1) at its proximal end (5) the distal portion (18) is also rotated for aligning the distal tip (9) with a branched vessel into which it is desired to direct and urge the guide wire (1).

Disclosed are halogenated amide esters that are suitable as internal electron donors in procatalyst compositions. Ziegler-Natta catalyst compositions containing the present procatalyst compositions exhibit improved catalyst activity and/or improved catalyst selectivity and produce propylene-based olefins with broad molecular weight distribution.

Compositions having at least 60 weight percent, based on the total weight of polymers, have at least one silane crosslinkable polyolefin resin and up to about 40 weight percent, based on the total weight of polymers, of at least one polyolefin elastomer resin, wherein the polyolefin polymer elastomer resin has density of less than or equal to about 0.89 g/cm3 and a melt index, I2, of less than about 50 g/10 mm. and which has been prepared using at least one metallocene catalyst provide improved flexibility, especially low temperature flexibility, while maintaining suitable cure performance and strength compared to the silane crosslinkable polymer resin alone. This composition may be used in cables for low temperature service applications.

摘要:
Power cables that comprise a sheath layer, e.g., an insulation layer, are produced from a mixture of a high pressure polyolefin free of silane functionality, e.g., high pressure low density polyethylene, and a polyether polyol of which at least 50 percent of its molecules comprise no more than a single hydroxyl functionality. Preferably, the power cable is a medium or high voltage power cable, and the polyolefin is crosslinked as the sheath layer is fabricated and/or subsequent to the fabrication of the sheath layer.

摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a class of propylene/α-olefin block interpolymers. The propylene/α-olefin interpolymers are characterized by an average block index, ABI, which is greater than zero and up to about 1.0 and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, greater than about 1.3. Preferably, the block index is from about 0.2 to about 1. In addition or alternatively, the block propylene/α-olefin interpolymer is characterized by having at least one fraction obtained by Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (“TREF”), wherein the fraction has a block index greater than about 0.3 and up to about 1.0 and the propylene/α-olefin interpolymer has a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, greater than about 1.3.
