    摘要: A cement for bonding carbon blocks, particularly the cathode blocks of electrolytic cells, e.g. Hall-Heroult cells used for the production of aluminum. The cement comprises a carbonaceous aggregate of particle size smaller than 48 Tyler mesh, a curable water-soluble liquid polymeric resin (preferably a phenol-formaldehyde resin), water and normally a curing agent for the resin. The water is used in such an amount that the proportion of the resin can be reduced without adversely affecting the viscosity of the cement at ambient temperature. The cement carbonizes when the carbon blocks are subjected to high temperatures and has a linear shrinkage of less than 5%, which reduces the tendency of the carbonized cement to crack.

    摘要: This invention is directed to an in vitro system for rapidly and uniformly inducing immortalized neural crest cells to differentiate to vascular smooth muscle cells. As excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is a phenotypic response to the development of occlusive arteriosclerotic disease, the in vitro system of this invention is used to identify molecular regulators of smooth muscle cell development and differentiation. As the molecular regulators of smooth muscle cell differentiation are identified, the invention also encompasses methods to isolate the genes coding for these regulators. This invention also relates to molecules identified through the use of the invention's in vitro system, as well as to compounds that inhibit or regulate the identified molecules.

    摘要: A process for forming hollow microspheres containing carbon or a polymer which is a carbon precursor. The process comprises forming a solution in a liquid solvent of a polymer having the following properties (a) a molecular weight of at least 10,000 and a long chain structure; (b) an ability to be coagulated by or precipitated from the solution by a non-solvent for the polymer; (c) an ability to form a continuous stretchable film when coagulated or precipitated from solution; (d) a chemical structure which is infusible or capable of being rendered infusible, and (e) a high carbon yield of at least 30% by weight upon being carbonized in a non-reactive atmosphere. An insoluble particulate blowing agent is incorporated into the solution and the solution is then divided into droplets and the droplets are introduced into a liquid bath containing a suitable non-solvent for the polymer. The non-solvent causes the polymer to precipitate or coagulate rapidly and simultaneously the blowing agent is decomposed to generate a gas within the droplets so that hollow microspheres are formed. The microspheres are then optionally subjected to carbonization in a non-reactive atmosphere at high temperature to convert the polymer to carbon. Uniformly-sized relatively large hollow microspheres can be produced by this process.

    摘要: A process for producing small particles of aluminum nitride suitable for sintering and the particles thus-produced. The process comprises reacting particles of gamma alumina, or a precursor thereof, of less than 1 micron in size with a stoichiometrical excess of finely divided carbon in the presence of nitrogen, or a precursor which provides nitrogen in the reaction conditions, first at a temperature in the range of 1550.degree. to 1700.degree. C. for a period of between 1 and 6 (preferably 1 to 4) hours and then at a temperature in the range of 1750.degree. to 1850.degree. C. for a period of 1 to 4 (preferably 1 to 2) hours, followed by cooling said reaction mixture and reheating to a temperature in the range of 500.degree. to 700.degree. C. in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, and maintaining the temperature until excess unreacted carbon is removed. The alumina or precursor preferably has a particle size of less than 400 nm and the carbon source preferably contains iron as an impurity, and is preferably petroleum coke. The AlN product is particularly suited for use in forming a substrate for electronic components by a process involving sintering of the AlN particles because of the small size (less than 2 microns) and narrow size distribution of the particles.
