Abstract:
An electro-optical device having at least one base and a multilayer coating surface disposed on at least one surface of the base. The at least one base may comprise either an optically or electronically active portion or a flexible polymeric material. The multilayer coating set comprises at least one organic layer and at least one inorganic layer. The base and multilayer coating set are transparent. The multilayer coating set provides a barrier to moisture and oxygen and provides chemical resistance. The multilayer coating set is also mechanically flexible and thermally stable up to a glass transition temperature of the base.
Abstract:
A sheet material includes a polycarbonate substrate and a protective coating containing the reaction products of an aminoplast resin, a polyol compound, and a UV-absorbing amount of a triazine compound. The sheet material exhibits an improved balance of abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, weatherability, and formability.
Abstract:
Sterically hindered phosphoramidates such as N,N′-bis[di-(2,6-xylenoxy)phosphinyl]piperazine are prepared by the reaction of a sterically hindered diaryl chlorophosphate, such as di-(2,6-xylyl) chlorophosphate, with a basic nitrogen compound containing at least two basic N—H groups, preferably a heterocyclic compound such as piperazine, in a predominantly liquid, solvent-free reaction mixture. The reaction may be conducted in the melt or in the presence of a non-solvent carrier, typically an aliphatic hydrocarbon. An excess of the basic nitrogen compound is employed as an acid acceptor.
Abstract:
The instant invention is directed to novel silylated agents having the formula ##STR1## where Ar and Ar' are independently substituted or unsubstituted aromatic rings, R is a branched or unbranched chain of 1 to 6 carbons, R' and R" are independently C1 to C12 alkyl or mixtures of C1 to C12 alkyl, and n is 1 or 2. The novel dibenzoylresorcinol silylated agents are capable of absorbing ultraviolet light.
Abstract:
A fuel preparation system includes a fractionation unit for treating fuel containing vanadium. A gas turbine is connected to the fractionation unit to receive treated fuel. The gas turbine may deliver exhaust from the gas turbine to the fractionation unit. The fuel preparation system may include a burner for burning a heavy fuel fraction from the faction unit and for delivering exhaust from the burner to the fractionation unit. The fuel preparation unit may include a boiler to receive the heavy fuel fraction for combustion and for delivering steam to the fractionation unit.

Abstract:
A system comprising a fuel converter comprising a catalyst composition capable of converting a fuel into a selected one or both of a syngas reductant and a short chain hydrocarbon reductant, wherein the catalyst composition comprises: cracking sites that perform a cracking function when a temperature of an exhaust fluid is greater than a predetermined threshold temperature, wherein the cracking function converts long chain hydrocarbon molecules to short chain hydrocarbon molecules; and partial oxidation sites that perform a catalytic partial oxidation function when the temperature of the exhaust fluid is less than the predetermined threshold temperature, wherein the catalytic partial oxidation function oxidizes the fuel to produce the syngas reductant; and a selective catalytic reduction catalyst reactor in fluid communication with the fuel converter and the exhaust fluid.
