Abstract: Method and apparatus for the electromagnetic dynamic plasticating of polymer materials includes a magnetic moving body which is supported both axially and radially by a magnetic levitation gap. The magnetic body is rotated in non-steady state vibration within an electromagnetic winding and cooperates with a stationary body to form a processing space for the polymer material.

Abstract: An apparatus for production of a continuous plastic sheet (2) includes structure for the forming of at least one layer cast in the liquid state of this plastic material, or a reaction mixture of reactive components, on a mobile support of glass plates (1) placed edge to edge and carried by a conveyor, followed by the setting of the layer formed on the surface of the glass plates and pulling off the set sheet. Strips (3) of flexible material are inserted between the adjacent glass plates. The adjacent edges of the glass plates are covered, before the casting is performed, by a ribbon (4) of a material nonadherent to the glass, which overlaps the section of the inserted strip or strips. After having been positioned on the glass plates, the ribbon is made temporarily adherent to the latter upstream from the casting in the liquid state by electrostatically charging with opposite charges the glass plates and the ribbon.

Abstract: A gaseous medium, preferably compressed air or nitrogen, is introduced into the interior of the tubular components to be welded together from one end and is discharged at the other end through a throttled outlet opening. As a result, an excess pressure is built up in the interior of the tubular components and the inner wall of the components is cooled. When heating the abutting ends of the tubular components by means of a heating device, the ends are not melted entirely through to the inner walls, so that the formation of an inner welding bead is avoided and the internal pressure creates a welding pressure.

Abstract: A reinforced thermosetting polymer, in a pasty state, is molded under conditions of internal heating of the material and dielectric losses with high frequency and external heating using the mold elements.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the preparation of an electromagnetic shielding composite which exhibits high conductivity and low resistance. The method comprises applying an electrical potential difference across a composite comprised of an electrically conductive material dispersed within a matrix material to increase the conductivity of the composite. An electrical current of sufficient magnitude is then passed through the composite to further increase the conductivity of the composite while maintaining the electrical potential difference at a value which does not exceed the value of the electrical potential difference which was previously applied.

Abstract: A synthetic resinous tube having a plurality of bonded coaxial layers with at least one layer being thermoplastic and another substantially non-thermoplastic is formed by the simultaneous coaxial extrusion of thermoplastic tubes and electron irradiation of one of the layers of the tube to convert it from a thermoplastic resin.
