Abstract: Silicon crosslinkers and chain extenders having at least two heterocyclic Si--N groups per molecule can be used to make compositions which cure in contact with moisture without generating a volatile leaving compound. These heterocyclic Si--N groups are illustrated by the following groups ##STR1## These compositions are useful as coatings for substrates, encapsulants, and sealants.
Abstract: A process for depositing a metal or alloy layer on an electrically conductive work piece by means of a glow discharge. The work piece is inserted as one electrode of an electric field in a low-pressure chamber charged with a preionized carrier gas and coating material or spender medium. An arc discharge is utilized for explosively spattering the spender medium.
