Acknowledgment is made to the Donors of the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the American Chemical Society, and to the Materials Research Laboratory, University of Massachusetts (Amherst), for grants in support of this research. The National Science Foundation, through the Expedited Award for Novel Research at Stevens Institute, has enabled K.E.G. to develop the processing of such transition metal containing organometallic polymers. ... 

It had long been known that ultrahigh pressures could pack the atoms and molecules of some substances into more substantial configurations. Gases, as we have already noted, could be liquefied by putting them under pressure, and some metals that did not superconduct on their own eventually did so when pressure was applied. Among the pioneers in the field was Percy Williams Bridgman, an American physicist at Harvard University whose contributions resulted in new techniques that increased laboratory pressures nearly a hundredfold, and won him a Nobel Prize in 1946. Once, when he reached a pressure twenty thousand times that of normal atmospheric pressure— physicists use the term 20,000 atmospheres—he burst the metal containers used in the experiment. Eventually, he developed more resilient materials, and succeeded in creat-... 

All ensuing methods of preparing diboreine involve reduction with hydrogen-containing materials, and since the complex metal alvuninum hydrides are in general the most effective examples for laboratory use, preparations employing these compounds are considered first. 

The preferred reaction-vessel for microwave induced organic reaction, is a tall beaker (particularly for small scale reactions in the laboratory), loosely covered and the capacity of the beaker should be much greater than the volume of the reaction mixture. Alternatively, teflon and polystyrene containers can be used. These materials are transparent to microwaves. Metallic containers should not be used as reaction vessels. 

The applications of materials produced using the sintering technique are wire baskets, trays, door accessories, clips, books, clamps, metal containers and tanks for corrosive liquids and pastes, metal fittings used in joining with PE and other plastics, stirring equipment used in chemical laboratories and industry, and many others. 

The WECAC Materials Laboratory suggested four potential materials to replace the current gasket. These four materials were EPDM, SBR, neoprene, and natural rubber (60). In addition, natural rubber (40) Is currently used In the 120-mm PA154 metal/plastic container and was used as a baseline. The difference in the two natural rubbers is the hardness. The current natural rubber has a hardness of 40 and the potential replacement natural rubber has a higher hardness of 60. The SBR is currently used In the 81-mm metal/plastic ammunition container (PA156/PA157). 

Each plant or laboratory should adopt definite rules and procedures for electrical iastahations and work. All iastahations should be ia accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the type of ha2ard, eg. Class I flammable gas or vapor Class II organic, metallic, or conductive dusts and Class III combustible fibers and the degree of process containment, eg. Division 1 open and Division 2 closed (67). Regardless of the flammabiUty of the materials ia the iastaHed operations, changes ia procedure involving use of such materials often occur, sometimes without concurrent alteration of the electrical iastaHation.
