Abstract:
CUBIC CRYSTAL BORON NITRIDE GRAIN IS BONDED TOGETHER TO FORM A GRINDING WHEEL OR OTHER ABRASIVE ARTICLES BY FORMING A THIN LAYER OF BOROSILICATE ON THE GRAIN AND THEN BONDING THE BOROSILICATE-COATED GRAIN TOGETHER WITH A BONDING MATERIAL. IN THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT THE PROCESS COMPRISES FIRST FORMING A THIN DEPOSIT OF BORIC OXIDE ON THE SURFACE OF THE CUBIC CRYSTAL BORON NITRIDE GRAIN, AS BY HEATING AND EXPOSING THE GRAIN TO AN OXIDIZING ATMOSPHERE, THEN APPLYING TO THE GRAIN AN ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND AND HEATING TO CAUSE A REACTION BETWEEN THE COMPOUND AND THE BORIC OXIDE WITH RESULTANT FORMATION OF A BOROSILICATE, AND THEREAFTER BONDING THE BOROSILICATECOATED GRAIN WITH AN ORGANIC RESIN. BY MEANS OF THE INVENTION, CUBIC CRYSTAL BORON NITRIDE ABRASIVE TOOLS WITH EXTREMELY HIGH BOND STRENGTH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED.
Abstract:
A THIN, CONTINUOUS FILM IS FORMED ON A SUBSTRATE BY ULTRAVIOLET SURFACE PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION OF A MATERIAL IN THE GASEOUS PHASE. THE MATERIAL IS SELECTED FROM VARIOUS ANHYDRIDES AND DIANHYDRIDES. SUCH FILMS, WHICH CAN BE SELECTIVELY FORMED AS ELECTRICALLY INSULATING OR ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE, ARE USEFUL AS COATINGS ON METALIC AND NONMETALLIC SUBSTRATES, AND FOR CORROSION PROTECTION. THE ELECTRICALLY INSULATING FILMS ARE USEFUL FURTHER AS CAPACITOR DIELECTRICS, CRYOGENIC DEVICE INSULATION, INSULATION FOR MICROELECTRIC DEVICES, AND PRIMER OR INSULATION ON ELECTRI-
CALLY CONDUCTIVE WIRE, WHILE THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE FILMS CAN ALSO BE EMPLOYED AS CONDUCTIVE LAYERS IN MICROELECTRIC DEVICES.
Abstract:
A device for oxygenating or dialyzing blood has elementary units comprising pairs of frames having rectangular openings and a gas permeable membrane on each face. Two confronting membranes define a thin passageway for blood. Remote sides of the membranes confront a porous support structure in a second passageway in which another fluid such as dialysate or oxygen enriched gas flows. The second passageway contains a flat screen wrapped in a fibrous material which distributes the gas uniformly and supports the membranes when the space between them is pressurized with blood. The frames have apertures for conveying blood or other fluid to respectively alternate passageways. Thermoplastically formed protuberances project integrally from the membranes into the blood space for agitating the flowing blood film.
Abstract:
A thin, continuous film is formed on a substrate by the ultraviolet surface polymerization of the vapor of an imide containing photopolymerizable organic material. Such films are useful as coatings on metallic and nonmetallic substrates, capacitor dielectrics, cryogenic device insulation, insulation for microelectric devices, insulation on electrically conductive wire, and for corrosion protection.
