Negative ribs

Negative ribs have been utilized recently to resolve another issue. In normal applications, the separators have not been the typical failure mode of the battery. As such, there has been an effort to reduce the mass of the separator. This is achieved by reducing the back-web thickness. Over the years the typical back-web has migrated from 300 pm to as low as 150 pm. Even at 150 pm for the back-web thickness, the... 

A mixture of powdered poly(vinyl chloride), cyclohexanone as solvent, silica, and water is extruded and rolled in a calender into a profiled separator material. The solvent is extracted by hot water, which is evaporated in an oven, and a semiflexible, microporous sheet of very high porosity ( 70 percent) is formed [19]. Further developments up to the 75 percent porosity have been reported [85,86], but these materials suffer increasingly from brittleness. The high porosity results in excellent values for acid displacement and electrical resistance. For profiles, the usual vertical or diagonal ribs on the positive side, and as an option low ribs on the negative side, are available [86],...

D-Ribose is known as a component of the lipo- and capsular polysaccharides from many Gram-negative bacteria, where it is found as a (3-furanosyl unit.37 It is found as terminal a-D-Rib/ substituents in some serotypes of the O-antigen of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,38 Also as a-furanosyl residues, ribose is part of the extracellular polysaccharides of cyanobacteria.39... 

In contrast to most conventional separators for flooded batteries, separators for gel batteries have ribs positioned not only towards the positive plate, but also towards the negative plate in order to facilitate the gel-fllling process. For batteries with pasted positive plates, the separator is usually laminated with a glass fleece, which protects the positive plate against shedding, especially in cycle applications. Although this surface fleece stabilizes the active material, the present design of gel batteries cannot prevent completely the expansion of the positive material and the occurrence of PCL-2. The most important characteristics of separators used in gel batteries are listed in Table 7.2 (adapted from Ref. 12). 

Besides, both s tructures posses an optical anisotropy in the spectral range of X a where a i s the "lattice" constant. This is the so called anisotropy of shape described in [4]. Studies of birefringence in 2D PC from macroporous silicon [5] shows it is a positive uniaxial crystal with its optical axis oriented along the pores. The present work is focused on the studies of ID PC from grooved Si. It is expected to be a negative uniaxial crystal whose axis is perpendicular to the Si ribs. 

The outer secondary tent is made of Kevlar or another ballistic material and is supported by an air-rib system. It is placed over the primary tent to provide vapor containment of chemical agent and is connected with flexible stainless steel hoses to the air pollution control system. A slight negative pressure is maintained within the secondary tent prior to detonation of the chemical munition.
