Abstract: A sputtering target assembly comprises a tungsten containing sputtering target, a titanium containing backing plate attached to the tungsten containing sputtering target and an interlayer positioned between and diffusion bonding the tungsten containing sputtering target and the titanium containing backing plate. The interlayer includes a nickel layer immediately adjacent to the tungsten containing sputtering target and a copper layer immediately adjacent to the nickel layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a bond in a sputtering assembly includes forming first projections on a bonding surface of a sputtering target, forming second projections on a bonding surface of a backing plate, aligning the sputtering target and the backing plate so that the first projections fit within the second recesses and the second projections fit within the first recesses to form an assembly; and applying pressure to the assembly so that first projections form an interlock bond between the sputtering target and the backing plate, wherein the interlock bond is void-free.

Abstract: The present invention relates to catalyst compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates catalyst compositions comprising at least one alkyl bridge group. The catalyst of the present invention has been shown to provide higher filterability than provided by non-bridged catalysts when used in ester reactions, and provide lower extractability than provided by non-bridged catalysts when used in urethane reactions. The present invention is expected to be catalytically active in the same way to all ester bonds, urethane bonds, silicones, siloxanes, organic tins.

Abstract: A sputtering target assembly comprises a tungsten containing sputtering target, a copper alloy backing plate attached to the tungsten containing sputtering target, and an interlayer positioned between and diffusion bonding the tungsten containing sputtering target and copper alloy backing plate. The tungsten containing sputtering target comprises 0 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of an alloying component and the balance is tungsten. The alloying component is titanium, aluminum or molybdenum. A method of making is also provided.

Abstract: The invention is a flame retardant for styrene foams. The flame retardant contains both aromatic bromine and an olefin. The olefin is an internal olefin. Desirable flame retardants are selected from: formula I: wherein R1 is C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; R2 is C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; and R3-R12 is H, C1-C6 (optionally containing a heteroatom), or halogen; and further wherein the compound of formula I is present in a concentration of at least 50 percent of a trans isomer; formula II: wherein R1 is Halogen, C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; R2 is Halogen, C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; and R3-R7 is H, C1-C6 (optionally containing a heteroatom), or halogen; and formula III: wherein R1 is Halogen, C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; R2 is Halogen, H, C1-C6 and optionally containing a heteroatom or olefin; and R3-R6 is H, halogen.

Abstract: A controlled molecular weight polymer of styrene is provided having bromine substituted thereon. Control of molecular weight is achieved by the use of alpha-methyl styrene dimer as a chain transfer agent. The brominated polymer of styrene is useful as a flame retardant, particularly for polyamides giving improved properties including color retention after molding.
