Bearing retention applications

Perhaps the first practical application of carbonaceous materials in batteries was demonstrated in 1868 by Georges Le-clanche in cells that bear his name [20]. Coarsely ground MnO, was mixed with an equal volume of retort carbon to form the positive electrode. Carbonaceous powdered materials such as acetylene black and graphite are commonly used to enhance the conductivity of electrodes in alkaline batteries. The particle morphology plays a significant role, particularly when carbon blacks are used in batteries as an electrode additive to enhance the electronic conductivity. One of the most common carbon blacks which is used as an additive to enhance the electronic conductivity of electrodes that contain metal oxides is acetylene black. A detailed discussion on the desirable properties of acetylene black in Leclanche cells is provided by Bregazzi [21], A suitable carbon for this application should have characteristics that include (i) low resistivity in the presence of the electrolyte and active electrode material, (ii) absorption and retention of a significant... 

The current procedure starts with the ester, ethyl 1-naphthoate, and converts it into homologated product in 81% yield without isolation of any intermediates. Safe, commercially available materials are employed. Based on a recently published variation43 of our original homologation methods,4 1 It represents a general procedure applicable to esters 1 bearing aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl and primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl attachments R. Yields range from 67-90% (on a 25-mmol scale) and like the Arndt-Eistert sequence this procedure affords retention of stereochemistry for the... 

Increased retention of the analytes can also be achieved by addition of various ion-pair reagents in the mobile phase Tetrabutylammonium cations have typically been used as counter ions, at around pH 6.5, to increase retention and improve the selectivity in the analysis of monobasic penicillins (105, 123). Alkyl-sulfonic acids have been also used to improve the separation of -lactams bearing an amine function in their side chain or having a neutral side chain. Heptanesul-fonic acid (80, 103), decanesulfonic acid (87, 93, 106), dodecanesulfonic acid (77, 107-110), or mixtures of octanesulfonic and dodecanesulfonic acids (73, 75, 78, 79) constitute the principal alkylsulfonic acids used in -lactam analysis. In some applications, heptafluorobutyric acid (74, 76) or sodium thiosulfate (90, 112, 115, 116, 121, 122) has also been used as an ion-pairing reagent. 

Ryton Polyphenylene Sulfide is a new commercial plastic which is characterized by good thermal stability, retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, excellent chemical resistance, a high level of mechanical properties, and an affinity for a variety of fillers. It is produced from sodium sulfide and dichlorobenzene. Its unusual combination of properties suggests applications in a variety of molded parts such as non-lubricated bearings, seals, pistons, impellers, pump vanes, and electronic components. Tough coatings of polyphenylene sulfide can be applied to metals or ceramics by a variety of techniques and are used as protective, corrosion-resistant coatings in the chemical and petroleum industries. Incorporation of small amounts of polytetrafluoroethylene provides excellent non-stick properties in both cookware and industrial applications. 

Typical applications for this dispensing system would be to coat core plugholes in an engine block, electric motor end caps for the retention of bearings and the engine block for the retention of cylinder liners. 

Joint sealing and retention of co-axial components - often both in the same application - are prime examples. Components can be threaded (screws or pipes), or splined or smooth (eg bearings). Special versions of these adhesives (often not truly anaerobic - in that primers may have to be used) give much higher levels of effective adhesion than the normal materials and so may be used in lap joints. Other versions are formulated as gasketting media.
