Abstract The process of cold mastication has been rationalized in terms of recognized chemical reactions, and its essential difference from the hot mastication process has been demonstrated. Many apparently unrelated phenomena occurring on cold mastication, as, for example, are collected in a recent survey, can be interpreted as specific manifestations of the general scheme now presented. A clearer understanding of the basic function of the masticator is relevant to the design of such machines, i.e., the provision of high shearing forces for low-temperature chain rupture and the exposure of large surface area for high-temperature autoxidative breakdown. No acceleration of cold plasticization by added compounds is normally obtainable under the shear conditions of the Banbury mixer, but may be encountered under more efficient shear and in oxygen-deficient conditions. Cold mastication is revealed as a versatile method for producing rubbers of a wide variety of physical properties, i.e., softer (linear degraded) rubbers, harder and soluble (branched or cross-linked) rubbers, and insoluble (cross-linked) rubbers.

Abstract SOMERS LTA Copper is a wrought copper foil that can be annealed at 350 F in 15 minutes to the full-soft condition; its use simplifies the manufacture of printed circuits (LTA = Low-Temperature Annealable). LTA Copper is especially useful for foil weights up to and including one ounce per square foot (0.0014-inch thick) for laminating to high-temperature dielectric substrates. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity as well as fatigue. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: Cu-407.

AbstractThis paper presents results from comparative thermogravimetric, calorimetric and pozzolanic activity analyses of five natural zeolite samples from Bulgaria, Slovakia, Philippines, USA and North Korea. The zeolites actively participate in the hydration processes of cement. Their activity in the early stage of hydration is based mainly on the large surface area of the particles while, in the later stages of activation, chemical reactions occur between the products of the hydration of cement and the soluble SiO2 that is present in the bulk of the zeolites. It has been shown that in all cement pastes which contain zeolite additives, the quantity of portlandite is lower than that in pure cement paste or is even totally absent. The amounts of hydration products are greater when 30% zeolite is used than when 10% zeolite is added (excluding the sample with chabazite). The lowest pozzolanic activity is shown by chabazite, which possessed the lowest SiO2/Al2O2 ratio.

Process heat from a high-temperature nuclear reactor can be used to drive a set of chemical reactions, with the net result of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. For example, process heat at temperatures in the range 850°C to 950°C can drive the sulfur-iodine (SI) thermochemical process to produce hydrogen with high efficiency. Electricity can also be used to split water, using conventional, low-temperature electrolysis (LTE). An example of a hybrid process is high-temperature electrolysis (HTE), in which process heat is used to generate steam, which is then supplied to an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen. In this paper we investigate the coupling of the Modular Helium Reactor (MHR) to the SI process and HTE. These concepts are referred to as the H2-MHR. Optimization of the MHR core design to produce higher coolant outlet temperatures is also discussed.
