Abstract: Metal vaporization from precious metals is reduced by applying to the surface of the metal a flame sprayed coating comprising a refractory material and a glass.
Abstract: A migration-free size for glass fibers which includes a silane coupler, lubricant and film former and is characterized by the absence of a carrier, either aqueous or organic. To provide required shelf-life, a volatile agent such as acetone is added in limited amount to block coupler-film former reaction pending use of the size.
Abstract: Improved surface characteristics of sheet molding compounds are obtained by employing defined amounts of resin, glass and filler in the formulation comprising the appearance side and the reinforcing side of molded objects.
Abstract: A process is provided for decarbonylating aldehydes to olefins having one less carbon atom than the aldehydes, carbon oxide and hydrogen, by passing the aldehydes over a catalyst comprising a metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, rhodium, copper, silver, gold and zinc supported on or exchanged onto a support.

Abstract: Mineral samples are sealed in a nitrile barrier resin which prevents alterations in a sample between the time the sample is taken and the time the sample is analyzed. This resin provides chemical resistance to a core sample and good water vapor barrier properties and excellent oxygen barrier properties. The resin may be laminated with other materials to improve various properties.
Abstract: A process for conducting a combination of fixed and fluid-bed catalytic reactions is achieved by employing fixed-bed catalysts on supports within the fluid bed. The fluid-bed catalysts may move in both directions through the fixed bed, thereby giving advantages of both types of beds in one reactor.

Abstract: A method of obtaining deuterated compounds from compounds having an abstractable proton comprises contacting the proton-containing compound with a porous ion exchange resin which contains at least some deuterons. The reverse process of substituting protons for deuterons in deuterated compounds is also described. Highly pure products can be obtained.
