The Octol process, developed jointly at Marl by Hals and UOP for the specific production of octenes from /i-butenes. is a more recent version of the technique employing phosphoric acid, the so-called Catalytic Condensation Process or Poly Process The silica/alumina catalyst always appears to be used in a fixed bed in this case, but... 

Figure 18.15 shows the schematic of the fabrication process. After oxidation of the double-side polished silicon substrate wafer, a first lower poly-Si layer with a thickness of 45 pm is deposited by means of an epi-poly process. In order to remove spikes and obtain a smooth surface, 5 pm of poly-Si has to be removed by poly-Si CMP. This polishing is a two-step process, consisting of a 5 pm bulk removal by means of a fiimed-silica slurry and a subsequent final polish of several 10 nm with a haze-firee slurry. After deposition and stmcturing of some intermediate layers, a second upper poly-Si layer, again with a thickness of 45 pm, is deposited and subsequendy polished with the same two-step poly-Si CMP process. As this will be the surface of the evaporated silver mirror, a smooth as well as flat surface has to be achieved. After a backside silicon etch and the removal of the sacrificial layer, the scanning mirror device is released, see Figure 18.16(a) and (b).

N-Benzylamides are recommended when the corresponding acid is liquid and/or water-soluble so that it cannot itself serve as a derivative. Phe benzylamides derived from the simple fatty acids or their esters are not altogether satisfactory (see Table below) those derived from most hydroxy-acids and from poly basic acids or their esters are formed in good yield and are easily purified. The esters of aromatic acids yield satisfactory derivatives but the method must compete with the equally simple process of hydrolysis and precipitation of the free acid, an obvious derivative when the acid is a solid. The procedure fails with esters of keto, sul phonic, inorganic and some halogenated aliphatic esters. 

Most of the reactions with which organic chemists are concerned involve poly-atomic molecules, and occur in solution at temperatures not far removed from the ambient. There is not at present the faintest possibility of chemical theory predicting the absolute rates of such processes. 

Combination and disproportionation are competitive processes and do not occur to the same extent for all polymers. For example, at 60°C termination is virtually 100% by combination for polyacrylonitrile and 100% by disproportionation for poly (vinyl acetate). For polystyrene and poly (methyl methacrylate), both reactions contribute to termination, although each in different proportions. Each of the rate constants for termination individually follows the Arrhenius equation, so the relative amounts of termination by the two modes is given by... 

Poly(vinyl cinnamate) Resists. Dichromated resists exhibit numerous shortcomings which include lot-to-lot variabiUty of the components, aging of the formulated resists in solution and in coated form, poor process stabiUty (due to a sensitivity to variations in temperature and humidity), and intrinsically low photosensitivity requiring long exposure times for adequate insolubilization. 

Cationic monomers are used to enhance adsorption on waste soHds and faciHtate flocculation (31). One of the first used in water treatment processes (10) is obtained by the cyclization of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride in 60—70 wt % aqueous solution (43) (see Water). Another cationic water-soluble polymer, poly(dimethylarnine-fi9-epichlorohydrin) (11), prepared by the step-growth... 

Four other groups of synthetic adhesives find uses in secondary processing, ie, overlaying, assembly gluing, etc, and in furniture and cabinet manufacture. Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVA) adhesives are widely used in appHcation of veneers and other overlays to panel substrates and in some unit-assembly operations. PVA adhesives are an emulsion of polyvinyl acetate in water and cure by loss of water. The PVA adhesives are somewhat... 

The linear polymer of PX, poly(p-xylylene) (PPX) (2), is formed as a VDP coating in the parylene process. The energetics of the polymerization set it apart from all other known polymerizations and enable it to proceed as a vapor deposition polymerization. 

Acrylics. Acetone is converted via the intermediate acetone cyanohydrin to the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) [80-62-6]. The MMA is polymerized to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to make the familiar clear acryUc sheet. PMMA is also used in mol ding and extmsion powders. Hydrolysis of acetone cyanohydrin gives methacrylic acid (MAA), a monomer which goes direcdy into acryUc latexes, carboxylated styrene—butadiene polymers, or ethylene—MAA ionomers. As part of the methacrylic stmcture, acetone is found in the following major end use products acryUc sheet mol ding resins, impact modifiers and processing aids, acryUc film, ABS and polyester resin modifiers, surface coatings, acryUc lacquers, emulsion polymers, petroleum chemicals, and various copolymers (see METHACRYLIC ACID AND DERIVATIVES METHACRYLIC POLYMERS). 

The beater additive process starts with a very dilute aqueous slurry of fibrous nitrocellulose, kraft process woodpulp, and a stabilizer such as diphenylamine in a felting tank. A solution of resin such as poly(vinyl acetate) is added to the slurry of these components. The next step, felting, involves use of a fine metal screen in the shape of the inner dimensions of the final molded part. The screen is lowered into the slurry. A vacuum is appHed which causes the fibrous materials to be deposited on the form. The form is pulled out after a required thickness of felt is deposited, and the wet, low density felt removed from the form. The felt is then molded in a matched metal mold by the appHcation of heat and pressure which serves to remove moisture, set the resin, and press the fibers into near final shape (180—182).
