The second path in Fig. 3 outlines the approach to a more robust tape designed by Drew [21]. Here the milled rubber and filler are combined with tackifiers and other additives/stabilizers in an intensive dispersing step, such as a Mogul or Banbury mixer. Next, a phenolic resin or an alternative crosslinker is added and allowed to react with the rubber crosslinker to a point somewhat short of crosslinking. The compounded mixture is then charged to a heavy duty chum and dissolved in a suitable solvent like mineral spirits. To prepare a masking tape. 

The particles therefore lose their charge. Since the charge provides the colloidal stability, the colloidal paint destabilises and deposits on the nearest surface, the car body. Primer coatings 12-35 /im thick are applied according to primer type. Each particle also contains a crosslinker for the resin, usually a blocked isocyanate. After rinsing, the primed article is passed into a hot... 

Of all the techniques, it is those of Group 1 that are likely to give the most realistic data, simply because they measure transport of charged species only. They are not the easiest experimental techniques to perform on polymeric systems and this probably explains why so few studies have been undertaken. The experimental difficulties associated with the Tubandt-Hittorf method are in maintaining nonadherent thin-film compartments. One way is to use crosslinked films [79], while an alternative has been to use a redesigned Hittorf cell [80]. Although very succesful experimentally, the latter has analytical problems. Likewise, emf measurements can be performed with relative ease [81, 82] it is the necessary determination of activity coefficients that is difficult. 

A trivalent cation, for example AF, has the potential to link three chains. Sterically, this is improbable Mehrotra Bohra (1983) assert that simple aluminium tricarboxylates are not known in solution. Nevertheless we consider it probable that a small proportion of AF ions link three chains, in which all three charged ligands are COO". More probable molecular structures would contain one or two F" ions with a single F", an [A1F(H20)3] unit could bridge two polyanion chains, while an [A1F2(H20)2] would have no crosslinking ability.
