Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to an alkaline electrochemical cell comprising an additive for improved discharge performance. The additive is a finely dispersed superabsorbent material comprising particles having a substantially uniform shape and a small particle size relative to typical materials used in alkaline cells. The superabsorbent material results in enhanced discharge performance of the alkaline cell by increasing access of zinc to the electrolyte.

Abstract: Building materials based on polyisocyanate-impregnated lignocellulosic substrates provide increased strength and water, fire, insect, and fungi resistance compared to prior art building materials. At the same time, such building materials exhibit an aesthetically pleasing surface and can, therefore, be used in consumer visible applications (such as furniture) as well as in consumer invisible (such as door frames and stiles) applications.
