A research group at British Columbia University in Canada has reported that boron nitride is superior to fiuoropolymers in reducing the melt fracture of LLDPE, but that the two together work even better.

Until about 40 years ago, these elements were referred to as "inert gases" they were believed to be entirely unreactive toward other substances. In 1962 Neil Bartlett, a 29-year-old chemist at the University of British Columbia, shook up the world of chemistry by preparing the first noble-gas compound. In the course of his research on platinum-fluorine compounds, he isolated a reddish solid that he showed to be 02+(PtFB-). Bartlett realized that the ionization energy of Xe (1170 kJ/mol) is virtually identical to that of the 02 molecule (1165 kJ/mol). This encouraged him to attempt to make the analogous compound XePtF6. His success opened up a new era in noble-gas chemistry.

Further confirmation that the HCN polymorphism is a general phenomenon came from the work of a colleague at the University of British Columbia, Fred Ganders (1990), who studied white clover from six sites in southwestern British Columbia and adjacent Washington. In all but one of the sites (the exception being a particularly...
