In the case of acrylic molding sheets and semi-fmished products, Wacker have elaborated a product concept based on silicone core-shell technology, which enables the manufacture of highly transparent particle-modified materials with improved RT and low-temperature (-40 C) impact resistance and high weatherability [4]. Other transparent plications (e.g., epoxy resins, polycarbonates) are showing encouraging results, too. 

As we discussed in Chapter 13, web-enabled technologies have now progressed to create e-supply chains. The market for managing the core ERP information (orders, inventory, etc.) of the extended supply chain is only now beginning to emerge in major projects as the following case example illustrates. 

Scotts technology (17) uses fluid-bed (Wurster column) technology to apply polymeric coatings to a number of fertilizer substrates including urea, potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and monoammonium phosphate (MAP). The coating material is appHed as a water-borne latex onto the fluidized substrate. As the substrate is fluidized with warm air (40—50°C), water is driven off and the latex coalesces into a continuous film around the fertilizer particle. The particular latex compositions used have selected glass-transition and blocking temperatures, which enable quick removal of the water before the soluble fertilizer core dissolves. This obviates the need to use precoats prior to the latex appHcation. 

There are no accurate determinations of the overall contributions of peptide components to the compositions of HS and of SOM. The difficulties arise from the problems of separating these from other components of the SOM mixtures. Use of DMSO + 1% 12M HC1 and XAD-8 resin [(poly)methylmethacrylate] technology enabled Appelqvist et al. (1996) to decrease the amino acid content of a HA by 23%, and the decrease was uniform for the different amino acid groupings. This still left considerable amounts of peptide material in association with the HAs. Some may well have been in association with the humic matrix, and some may have been covalently linked to the humic core through, for example, the formation of Schiff...
