Abstract: A stable solution of an aromatic polyamic acid of controlled molecular weight, of the type capable of being converted to polyimides, which undergoes relatively little change in viscosity or gelling over extended periods of time at room temperature. Such solution may be prepared by reacting impure aromatic dianhydride with aromatic diamine in a suitable solvent where the ratio of active aromatic diamines is approximately equimolar. Such solution may also be prepared by a two step process which comprises:Step I-Reacting a dianhydride of high purity (99+%) with a diamine in a molar ratio of about 0.95/1 dianhydride/diamine to yield a viscosity below about 10,000 cps, for example from about 2,000 to 6,000 at about a 10-15% solution.Step II-Then adding to I about 0.05 mole of a less pure dianhydride such as from about 97-99% pure dianhydride to yield a 10-15% solution of polyamic acid having a viscosity of about 10,000 cps.

Abstract: In contrast to hydrocarbon waxes, alpha-olefin waxes can be oxidized with little if any reduction in hardness. The oxidized product can be used as such or further reacted with polyisocyanates to yield isocyanated products. Salts of the isocyanated products (preferably lithium salts) are also prepared which are capable of forming colloidal solutions. These solutions preferably in hydrocarbons have superior film-forming properties when used in polishes, thus yielding when applied to a surface a finish of high gloss, durability, protection, etc. The isocyanated products and salts thereof when employed in carbon paper inks yield a carbon paper having superior properties.

Abstract: Non-petroleum organic liquids (fats, animal and vegetable oils, etc.) containing solids (e.g., hydrogenation catalysts) are purified within a unique electrofiltration system wherein the organic liquids are passed through a selected bed material in which is established an intense electric field for removing the solids. Upon solids-fillup of the bed, selective cleaning restores the bed for continued purification of the organic liquid stream. The purified organic liquid stream is monitored for indicating when the selective cleaning of the bed is required. The electrofiltration system, both in a novel electrofilter and process, produces without aging a new organic liquid product having comparable properties to multistep processed prior art organic liquid.

Abstract: Test, auxiliary and reference electrodes are immersed in a corrodant fluid. The test electrode is cathodically polarized by a cathodic polarization circuit. Peak current flow in the auxiliary electrode is measured and a linear cathodic polarization function is generated by a computer circuit. The test electrode is forwardly and reversely anodically polarized by an anodic polarization circuit. A comparator circuit senses the voltage of the test electrode with respect to the auxiliary electrode during reverse anodic polarization and compares this value to the cathodic polarization function. When the test electrode voltage and cathodic polarization function are equal, an anodic memory circuit stores the value of the current passing through the test electrode. This current is the pitting current which is converted into pitting rate.
