Publication number: 20090215190Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for running a plurality of essentially simultaneous exothermic reactions, endothermic reactions, or a combination thereof in sealed reactors and obtaining physico-chemical data, preferably temperature data, and, optionally, time data, for the reactions, wherein reaction mixtures in the sealed reactors are adiabatically thermally insulated from one another so that temperature in one sealed reactor does not materially affect temperature in any other, including an adjacent, sealed reactor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2009Publication date: August 27, 2009Inventors: Pamela J. Stirn, Charles A. Nielsen, Sylvie Desjardins, David R. Neithamer, Paul L. Morabito, Marc A. Springs

Publication number: 20090031826Abstract: A high throughput workstation includes: a sample deposition and annealing robot, a pan/sample weighing robot, and a thermal analyzer equipped with autosampler and data analysis system. After deposition, the solvent can be removed and multiple samples annealed simultaneously in a controlled manner. The sample pans are weighed before and after the samples are prepared using a robotic weigher. The high throughput workstation facilitates analysis of thermal properties of samples obtained via parallel plate reaction (PPR) in substantially less time than corresponding manual techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2008Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: DOW GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Pamela J.
