摘要:
A system for measuring diffusion of a compound across a membrane generally comprises a membrane held between a first base having a plurality of outwardly extending hollow projections and a second base fastened to the first base and having a plurality of recessed tapered openings therein adapted to engage the plurality of hollow projections. Methods for measuring membrane diffusion using such systems are included. The system components are also provided in kit form.

A fuel cell comprising a membrane electrode assembly, and an IR transmissive window for thermographic analysis of a surface of the membrane electrode assembly is described. The test fuel cell provides a method of monitoring a fuel cell, and capturing a thermographic profile of said fuel cell with an IR detector array, while simultaneously measuring the electrochemical output of the cell, including current, voltages and half cell potentials.

摘要:
Addition polymers derived from norbornene-functional monomers are terminated with an olefinic moiety derived from a chain transfer agent selected from a compound having a terminal olefinic double bond between adjacent carbon atoms, excluding styrenes, vinyl ethers, and conjugated dienes and at least one of said carbon atoms has two hydrogen atoms attached thereto. The addition polymers of this invention are prepared from a single or multicomponent catalyst system including a Group VIII metal ion source. The catalyst systems are unique in that they catalyze the insertion of the chain transfer agent exclusively at a terminal end of the polymer chain.

摘要:
A single component ionic catalyst consists essentially of an organonickel complex cation, and a weakly coordinating neutral counteranion. The cation is a neutral bidentate ligand removably attached to a Group VIII transition metal in an organometal complex. The ligand is easily displaced by a norbornene-type (NB-type) monomer in an insertion reaction which results in an unexpectedly facile addition polymerization. A NB-type monomer includes NB or substituted NB, or a multi-ringed cycloolefin having more than three rings in which one or more of the rings has a structure derived from NB, and a ring may have an alicyclic alkyl, alkylene or alkylidene substituent. The insertion reaction results in the formation of a unique propagating species more soluble in a polar than in a non-polar solvent and devoid of an available .beta.-hydrogen for termination. The ensuing propagation of a polymer chain proceeds without measurable unsaturation. The chain continues to grow until the insertion of a monoolefinic chain transfer reagent results in substantially all chains being terminated with the residue of the chain transfer reagent. This unique chain transfer reaction allows one to control the molecular weight in a relatively narrow range. The reaction mixture for controlling the mol wt of the polymer chains may contain any other catalyst which generates a propagating species by an insertion reaction in an essentially anhydrous solvent. Both, mol wt and glass transition temperature Tg are tailored to provide a weight average mol wt Mw>20,000 but preferably not greater than about 500,000, and a T.sub.g in the range from about 150.degree. C. to about 400.degree. C. or higher, if desired.
