Abstract: A laminated window construction includes a solar control film formed by a flexible plastic substrate such as a PET sheet having on one surface a multilayer solar coating. This multilayer solor coating includes at least one thin layer of metal and at least one adjacent adherent layer of a dielectric material. An energy absorbing safety film of the type normally used in shatterproof glass laminates (e.g., plasticized PVB) is bonded to at least one side, and preferably both sides, of the solar control film to form a composite solar/safety film. This composite solar/safety film is specially designed to contribute, after incorporation into a glass laminate, no more than about two percent of visible reflection (based on total incident visible radiation) which has the effect of substantially masking the visible effects of wrinkles in the solar control film substrate (i.e., the wrinkles are made less visible).

Abstract: A thin platinum film which is both conductive and transparent is produced by laser chemical vapor deposition of a suitable organometallic compound, such as allyl cyclopentadienyl platinum. After deposition, the film is annealed to increase the relative abundance of platinum with respect to carbon. The film can be further conditioned by electrically cycling the same in a bath of sulfuric acid.

Abstract: A titanium composite material is disclosed which comprises a titanium or titanium alloy substrate, a base layer formed thereon of a calcium phosphate compound resulting from calcination of a hydrochloric or nitric acid aqueous solution of the calcium phosphate compound, and a covering layer thereon of a calcium phosphate compound formed by sintering a suspension of the calcium phosphate compound applied to the base layer. The composite material is useful as a biological implant. It is produced by activating the surface of the substrate, forming the base layer by calcining the solution coated on the substrate and then forming the covering layer by sintering the suspension coated on the base layer. The covering layer may be hydrothermally treated to increase its crystallinity.

Abstract: A rubber-coated gasket and method of forming the same is provided wherein a rubber layer is formed on one or both sides of the metal sheet, the rubber layer being formed of nitrile rubber containing a flaky filler and/or an alkyl titanate. The rubber layer which preferably has a thickness of 10-300 micrometers is bonded with a primer based on phenolic resin to the metal sheet. The additives and the rubber render it difficult for anti-freeze to penetrate through the rubber layer. In addition, the phenolic resin in the primer forms an antifreeze-resistant network structure which maintains the integrity of adhesion between the metal substrate and the rubber layer even if the gasket is submerged in hot anti-freeze.

The aminosilanes in the unhydrolyzed state have the formula:(R.sup.1).sub.a Si(R.sup.2).sub.b (R.sup.3).sub.cwherein R.sup.1 is a functional group with at least one primary amino group; R.sup.2 is a hydrolyzeable group such as a lower alkoxy group, an acetoxy group, or a halide; and R.sup.3 is a nonreactive, nonhydrolyzeable group such as a lower alkyl or a phenyl group; with (a) being greater than or equal to 1; (b) being greater than or equal to 1; (c) being greater than or equal to zero; and with a+b+c=4. The hydrolyzed aminosilane is applied to the film as an aqueous solution at any suitable stage during manufacture of the film, i.e., before, or during, or after the stretching operation, but prior to heat setting the film. The resultant primed polyester film is found to exhibit excellent adhesion to other polymeric materials.
