Mono-sandwich

The co-injection moulding of PVC-U with other thermoplastics (glass fibre reinforced PVC, polypropylene, ABS and polycarbonate), was investigated using the mono-sandwich process and the properties determined. Polypropylene was the only polymer not to exhibit good adhesion. The mechanical properties of the other samples were intermediate between those of the constituent polymers (104). 

The Mono-Sandwich technique was developed by Ferromatik Milakron. It uses two materials layered in a standard cylinder and is shown in Figure 10.4. This is achieved by melting the skin material in a separate side extruder that plasticates the material. A special hot runner system then leads the molten material through to the front of the screw in the main cylinder. The resultant melt pressure pushes the screw backwards. When the specified amoimt of melted material has accumulated in front of the screw, the screw starts rotating and feeds the core material. The injection is then done in the same way as for normal injection moulding by pushing the screw forward. 

Addmix originated a modified version of the Mono-Sandwich injection technique. It is a similar technique to the Ferromatik one but without an ancillary extruder. The second material feedstock is regulated and fed to the screw from a separate hopper controlled by a stroke measurement system, with injection through a special nozzle. In this way the polymers were layered into one injection cylinder. The moulding then proceeds as per conventional techniques. 

The Mono-Sandwich technique for co-injection moulding was described in Section 10.8.2.3 to which the reader should refer for machinery details. This technique can also be used for over-moulding by using the core back technique, again described earlier. In this technique termed the monosandwich 5 process, an additional valve is required in the runner system that ean release different valves as necessary . Once the melt is layered, the first component is injeeted. The valve is switched within the mould to expand the cavity and then the rest of the shot is injected to ereate a multi-shot component. 

Mono(cyclopentadienyl), or half-sandwich poly-oxo complexes are of interest as hydrocarbon-soluble models for oxide catalysts. The action of water on [Ta( j -C5Me5)(PMe3)2] yields the colourless [Ta4( j -C5Me5)407(0H)2] which has a tetranuclear butterfly core (Fig. 22.12c).( >... 

The symmetric series provides functional cyclohexadienes, whereas the non-symmetric one serves to build deuterated and/or functional arenes and tentacled compounds. In both series, several oxidation states can be used as precursors and provide different types of activation. The complexes bearing a number of valence, electrons over 18 react primarily by electron-transfer (ET). The ability of the sandwich structure to stabilize several oxidation states [21] also allows us to use them as ET reagents in stoichiometric and catalytic ET processes [18, 21, 22]. The last well-developed type of reactions is the nucleophilic substitution of one or two chlorine atoms in the FeCp+ complexes of mono- and o-dichlorobenzene. This chemistry is at least as rich as with the Cr(CO)3 activating group and more facile since FeCp+ activator is stronger than Cr(CO) 3.

This assay is a rapid one-step sandwich colorimetric immunoassay for quantitating histone-complexed DNA fragments (mono- and oligonucleosomes) with the size of discrete multiples of 180 bp in different types of cells in a microtiter plate (Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, Mannheim, Germany).

Chandross and Ferguson64 find that the absorption spectra of dimers, produced65 by photolytic cleavage of photodimers of anthracene and mono-derivatives in a rigid methylcyclohexane glass at 77°K, are consistent with a symmetrical sandwich configuration these dimers also emit the characteristic excimer fluorescence. On the other hand, it is necessary to assume a 60° rotation of one component about the intermolecular axis of the 9,10-di-chloroanthracene dimer (as in the crystalline compound) to account for the observed resonance splittings of both absorption bands.64...

With regards to actinides, Summerscales et al. [105] have also reported the reductive disproportionation of C02 to carbonate and squarate products, using COTR/ CpR mixed-sandwich U(III) complexes (COT = cyclooctatriene, Cp = cyclopenta-dienyl, R = Si Pr3, R = H, Me). U(III) systems have been shown previously to reduce C02 to a linear Tl -O-coordinated mono-anion [63], and to doubly reduce to give O2- salts plus CO [75, 76]. In this case, the reactions can be considered...
