Casting Systems

Urethanes are processed as mbber-like elastomers, cast systems, or thermoplastic elastomers. The elastomer form is mixed and processed on conventional mbber mills and internal mixers, and can be compression, transfer, or injection molded. The Hquid prepolymers are cast using automatic metered casting machines, and the thermoplastic peUets are processed like aU thermoplastic materials on traditional plastic equipment. The unique property of the urethanes is ultrahigh abrasion resistance in moderately high Shore A (75—95) durometers. In addition, tear, tensUe, and resistance to many oUs is very high. The main deficiencies of the urethanes are their resistance to heat over 100°C and that shear and sliding abrasion tend to make the polymers soft and gummy.

This paper will present some results of a set of experiments carried out in the hollow airway cast system with ultrafine particles which are or particular interest for the calculation of the dose to the bronchial epithelium from the short lived radon daughters. Detailed deposition efficiencies and intrabronchial distributions are presented elsewhere (Cohen, et al., 1986).

Others, hearing that the First Matter is concentrated in the blood have followed more vile routes in their questing. These foolish and often cruel methods have included class and caste systems, eugenics and blood sacrifice. Subsequent beliefs in the so-called purity of blood (in either a particular family or racial grouping) have culminated in beliefs in superior master races, leading to the evils of tyranny and genocide. 

In the energy domain, new and efficient uses in gas lines, electric cable ducts and the like, will promote surface stabilization and endurance as well as complex stress capability of various extruded or cast systems. Such reactants as acetylene terminated polymers have yielded cross-linked cured, networks of exceptional density and durability. A diimide dianhydride combined with (3) ethynylaniline yields an acetylene terminated tetraimide. On further polymerization at 250°C, the cross-linked structure derived can be used continuously at about 230°C. When this is combined with polymer carbon fibers or filaments, an exceedingly refractory and tough binder is produced.

This area is expected to see further growth for RIM, part of which will come at the expense of cast systems (4). Many new formulations with inproved properties will become possible through the use of "HOT RIM" equipment which will allow low melting solid isocyanate MDI prepolymers to be used along with low melting solid polyols in the "B" side. 

In contrast to urethane casting systems, open-topped molds cannot be used for all parts. Inhibitation of polymerization at the exposed surface of the nylon reaction mix by moisture in the air will produce a tacky surface. If this is to be machined off to produce a finished part, open topped molds may be used. 

Class stratification marks another level of hierarchical organization and involves the use of status, rather than kinship, to determine an individual s position in society. Stratified societies have fixed classes or levels of social organization, ranging in many cases from slaves at the bottom to kings and queens at the top. Social classes -something like the caste system that existed in South Asia - define your place in life and death, where you can live, your occupation, your potential marriage partner, and where you are buried. Status in a stratified society is determined by the class into which you are bom. 

Recently the ISO-DALT system has been extensively modified so that 40 isoelectric focussing gels may be run in parallel, the slab gels are cast using a computerized gel casting system, and larger second dimension slab gels are used (N.L.Anderson, unpublished studies).
