    摘要: A polymer-brush-based, surface-modification strategy for friction and wear reduction in hard contact under boundary-lubrication conditions is proposed, specifically for a non-aqueous environment. Surface-initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerisation (SI-ATRP) was employed for the synthesis of three different oil-compatible, hydrophobic polymer brushes based on alkyl methacrylates. This study presents polymerisation kinetics, chemical characterization by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and surface morphologies observed in atomic force microscopy (AFM). The lubrication properties of the anchored polymers were evaluated macroscopically by means of ball-on-disk methods and on the nanonewton scale by lateral force microscopy (AFM/LFM) and showed significant reduction in friction up to contact pressures as high as 460 MPa. The frictional response of surface-grafted polymers is shown to depend strongly on the compatibility of the polymer with the chosen lubricating fluid. Their good tribological performances have also been proven with watchmaking lubricants. These results do make the prevent invention a suitable candidate for a watchmaking application (such as at the balance pivot or the escapement) in order to increase the efficiency and reliability of the movements.

    摘要: Lubricating compositions, containing non-modified and modified multifunctional, polyionic copolymers and an aqueous lubricating medium, and methods for making and using such compositions are described herein. The lubricating compositions are applied to metal oxide surfaces, which are in contact with each other. The copolymers can serve as a surface protective boundary layer for the sliding surfaces, or they can also be used for the immobilization of further molecules, which can modify the tribological properties of the surfaces.

    摘要: A simple and reproducible preparative method for the fabrication of surface-chemical gradients is described herein. Surface-chemical gradient films are prepared by using a liquid front in relative motion to the substrate (e.g. immersion by a linear-motion drive or the use of a spreading droplet) to gradually expose substrate samples to very dilute solutions of adsorbates. As demonstrated by XPS, the self-assembled monolayer gradients produced in this way display a high packing density. This method can be used in the preparation of other gradients of various chemical or biochemical functionalities in one or two dimensions. Such gradients can be used in a wide variety of applications in such diverse areas as cell motility studies, nanotribology research, and high-throughput screening.

    摘要: The invention process provides a metal oxide, or oxides of more than one more metal, wherein the oxides have a mean particle size less than 1 micron. The oxides are made by steps including (1) reacting an aqueous solution of a metal salt (or salts) that form insoluble carbonate(s), thereby to form a carbonate precipitate, followed by (b) recovering the precipitate, e.g., by filtration; (c) redispersing the precipitate in water to form a second very dilute slurry; (d) spray-drying said second slurry; (e) calcining the spray-dried product at a low temperature (e.g., 540.degree. C.), followed by a final calcination in atmosphere consisting of flowing oxygen initially under reduced pressure (e.g., 2 Torr). The spray-dried spheroids comprise particles having a mean particle size less than one micron, a property carried over into the products of both calcinations.

    摘要: Improved process for making Bi-Pb-Sb-Sr-Ca-Cu oxide superconductors. A solution of the nitrates of Bi, Pb, Sr, Ca, and Cu is reacted with a quaternary ammonium carbonate in a dispersion (heel) of Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5. Carbonates of Bi, Pb, Sr, Ca, and Cu precipitate homogeneously on the Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5 particles. Solids are recovered, dried, and heated to make a superconductor. The method minimizes handling toxic antimony compounds and reduces introduction of contaminants. Novel compositions result.

    摘要: Formaldehyde is made from methane and a molecular oxygen containing gas by using a silica supported catalyst having less than 350 parts per million by weight of sodium and having a catalytically effective amount of V.sub.2 O.sub.5. The low sodium form of the silica support can be made by washing silica gel or precipitated silica or by using a fumed silica. In general, the lower the sodium level, the better is the catalyst.
