Abstract: There is provided an ion implantation method, a composition for forming an ion implantation film and a resist underlayer film-forming composition. An ion implantation method including the steps of: forming a film by applying a film-forming composition containing a compound including an element in group 13, group 14, group 15, or group 16 and an organic solvent onto a substrate and baking the film-forming composition; and implanting impurity ions into the substrate from above through the film and introducing the element in group 13, group 14, group 15, or group 16 in the film into the substrate. The film-forming composition is a film-forming composition for ion implantation containing a compound including an element in group 13, group 14, group 15, or group 16, and an organic solvent. In addition, the underlayer film-forming composition contains a compound having at least two borate ester groups.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement in the recovery of boron values from a mixture of alkali metal borate and alkali metal hydroxide representing discharged fuel from a hydrogen generator apparatus. The mixture is reacted with carbon dioxide and a lower alcohol to form trialkyl borate, alkali bicarbonate and water. A porous water-absorbing material is added to the reaction mixture to absorb water as it forms thereby improving the yield of trialkyl borate. The trialkyl borate is converted to alkali borohydride that is used in the fuel.

Abstract: A borate ester having the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is N, S or O, X is O or S, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are, independent of one another, selected from the group consisting of H, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.40)hydrocarbon residues and (C.sub.3 -C.sub.50)cycloalkyl, aryl and aralkyl, each of which may further contain N, O or S, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are independent of one another, selected from the group consisting of H and (C.sub.1 -C.sub.8)hydrocarbon residues, n is 0 to 4. An anti-wear/anti-oxidant/anti-friction/anti-rust additive comprises the borate ester of the invention when added to a lubricating oil.

Abstract: Preceramic compositions which have particular utility in providing protective ceramic coatings on normally oxidizable materials, such as carbon/silicon carbide and other carbon-containing composites and other materials, are obtained by dispersing solid particles comprising aluminum nitride particles in an organic solvent solution of an organoborosilazane polymer obtainable by reacting about 0.25-20 parts by weight of a trialkoxy-, triaryloxy-, or tri(arylalkoxy)boroxine with one part by weight of a polysilazane in an organic solvent. Ceramic coatings derived from the dispersions may be overcoated with ceramics derived from other preceramic polysilazane compositions to provide even greater protection to the substrates.

Abstract: Preceramic polymer dispersions which have particular utility in providing protective ceramic coatings on carbon/carbon composites, graphite, carbon fibers, and other normally oxidizable materials are prepared by dispersing about 0-3 parts by weight of aluminum-silicon eutectic, about 0-4 parts by weight of silicon carbide, about 1.5-5 parts by weight of silicon boride, and about 0.4-5 parts by weight of silicon metal in a solution of an organoborosilazane polymer in an organic solvent, the organoborosilazane polymer being the product obtained by reacting about 0.25-20 parts by weight of a trialkoxy-, triaryloxy-, or tri(arylalkoxy)boroxine with one part by weight of a polysilazane.

Abstract: The present invention deals with the composition, and application of novel highly branched borate esters, which function as unique oil phases for use in personal care, textile and related applications. The properties of these novel compounds which makes them well suited for these applications is the fact that they are substantive to fibers, hair and skin, are very mild to the skin and eyes. These materials are surprisingly stable to hydrolysis.

Abstract: A number of processes for the formation of insoluble metal alkoxides are disclosed. In one embodiment, there is disclosed a two step process wherein a halide of an at least divalent metal is reacted with an appropriate alcohol in the first step. In the second step, the intermediate compound formed is then reacted with more alcohol, said alcohol forming part of a solvent system in which the final metal alkoxide formed is insoluble. In another embodiment, a two step process is disclosed wherein the intermediate formed in the first step is isolated, and then in the second step the intermediate is reacted with an appropriate alcohol to yield the final product. The final embodiment of the present invention comprises a one step process for the production of insoluble metal alkoxides wherein a halide of an at least divalent metal is reacted with an appropriate alcohol in the presence of an excess amount of a hydrogen halide acceptor in a solvent in which the hydrogen halide compound formed is soluble.

Abstract: Lubricant and liquid fuel compositions containing a product made by reacting a boronating agent with a hydrocarbyl epoxide are provided. The invention also provides the product per se.
