Sol—Gel Sintered Aluminum Oxide. A new and much more versatile sintered alumina abrasive is now produced from aluminum monohydrate, with or without small additions of modifiers such as magnesia, by the sol—gel process (see Sol-gel technology). The first modified sol—gel abrasive on the market, Cubitron, was patented (27) and produced by the 3M Corporation for products such as coated belts and disks. The success of this material promoted intensive research into sol—gel abrasives. 

Another sol—gel abrasive, produced by seeding with a-ferric oxide or its precursors, has been patented (30). A magnesium-modified version of this abrasive, also called Cubitron, is being produced as a replacement for the earlier type. Yttria [1314-36-91-vnc>A V eA sol—gel abrasives have also been patented (31), as well as rare earth oxide modified materials (32). These abrasives are all produced by 3M Corporation they have performed very well ia various applications such as ia coated abrasives for grinding stainless steel and exotic alloys.

The Lagow group first entered the perfluoropolyethers field in 1977, by reacting fluorine with inexpensive hydrocarbon polyethers to prepare perfluoropolyethers. In the simplest case (Figure 14.3) poly (ethylene oxide) is converted to perfluoroethylene oxide polymer, a simple reaction chemistry that we first reported in the literature.27 As will be seen later, this direct fluorination technology as well as many new patents from Exfluor Research Corporation have been non-exclusively licensed to the 3M Corporation by the Lagow research group.3 "39...

As a result, the acid strength of the proton is approximately equivalent to that of sulfuric acid in nonaqueous media. In view of the excellent miscibility of this anion with organic nonpolar materials, Armand et al. proposed using its lithium salt (later nicknamed lithium imide , or Lilm) in solid polymer electrolytes, based mainly on oligomeric or macro-molecular ethers. In no time, researchers adopted its use in liquid electrolytes as well, and initial results with the carbonaceous anode materials seemed promising. The commercialization of this new salt by 3M Corporation in the early 1990s sparked considerable hope that it might replace the poorly...

Recognizing the value of pollution prevention to the business and the customer, progressive companies are developing corporate goals to motivate their employees to reduce the amount of waste being produced. Examples include the 3M Corporate Environmental Conservation Policy and the DuPont Company s Safety, Health and the Environment Commitment of zero waste generation and emissions, which is shown in Fig. 9.

A range of non-ionic fluorochemical surfactents (FC-170C, FC-433, FC-430, FC-431) manufactured by 3M Corporation has been found to be particularly useful for dispersing sub-micron powders. The addition of 0.01% of any of these surfactants to water reduces the interfacial tension from 7.2 x 10 N m (72 dyn cm" ) to 2.5 x 10 N m". FC-430 is a 100% active, viscous liquid, FC-431 is a solution of 50% active solid in ethyl acetate. These surfactants exhibit good solubility in most liquids.
