The promoter composition and organization of eukaryotic polymerases are quite specific for each polymerase. The promoters of rRNA genes contain a core and an upstream control element which is needed for high promoter activity. Two ancillary factors, UBH and SLl, bind to these sequences. Although SLl binds only after UBFl in a cooperative fashion, SLl is a a-factor with four proteins among which TBP is also required for initiation by the other polymerases. Pol 1 is akin to Pol ill in that it utilizes both upstream and downstream promoters. There are two types of internal promoters with distinct sequence boxes. One transcription factor (TFin B) is required for initiation of RNA synthesis by Pol in. Other factors (TFin A and TFIII C) help TFin B bind to the right location and... 

Table 1 lists the key properties of 30% glass filled flame retardant PBT-13K with and without flow promoter. Data from Table 1 points out that PBT flow promoter composition retains key mechanical, thermal and flame properties compared to control sample with significantly improved flow properties. 

Most of the polymer s characteristics stem from its molecular stmcture, which like POE, promotes solubiUty in a variety of solvents in addition to water. It exhibits Newtonian rheology and is mechanically stable relative to other thermoplastics. It also forms miscible blends with a variety of other polymers. The water solubiUty and hot meltable characteristics promote adhesion in a number of appHcations. PEOX has been observed to promote adhesion comparable with PVP and PVA on aluminum foil, cellophane, nylon, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate), and in composite systems improved tensile strength and Izod impact properties have been noted. 

Microstructurc. Crystal size, porosity, and impurity phases play a major role in fixing the fracture characteristics and toughness of an abrasive grain. As an example, rapidly cooled fused aluminum oxide has a microcrystalline stmcture promoting toughness for heavy-duty grinding appHcations, whereas the same composition cooled slowly has a macrocrystalline stmcture more suitable for medium-duty grinding. 

Aromatic diacyl peroxides such as dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO) [94-36-0] may be used with promoters to lower the usehil decomposition temperatures of the peroxides, although usually with some sacrifice to radical generation efficiency. The most widely used promoter is dimethylaniline (DMA). The BPO—DMA combination is used for hardening (curing) of unsaturated polyester resin compositions, eg, body putty in auto repair kits. Here, the aromatic amine promoter attacks the BPO to initially form W-benzoyloxydimethylanilinium benzoate (ion pair) which subsequentiy decomposes at room temperature to form a benzoate ion, a dimethylaniline radical cation, and a benzoyloxy radical that, in turn, initiates the curing reaction (33) ... 

Ketone Peroxides. These materials are mixtures of compounds with hydroperoxy groups and are composed primarily of the two stmctures shown in Table 2. Ketone peroxides are marketed as solutions in inert solvents such as dimethyl phthalate. They are primarily employed in room-temperature-initiated curing of unsaturated polyester resin compositions (usually containing styrene monomer) using transition-metal promoters such as cobalt naphthenate. Ketone peroxides contain the hydroperoxy (—OOH) group and thus are susceptible to the same ha2ards as hydroperoxides. 

The unusual resiHence of ionomers combined with ease of processing have resulted in widespread replacement of balata mbber as golf-ball covers. In order to obtain desirable backspin characteristics, low glass-transition ionomer compositions have been developed (10). Transparent coatings on bowling pins promote both longer life and improved playing performance. 

The composition of a reforming catalyst is dictated by the composition of the feedstock and the desired reformate. The catalysts used are principally platinum or platinum—rhenium on an alumina base. The purpose of platinum on the catalyst is to promote dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. Nonplatinum catalysts are used in regenerative processes for feedstocks containing sulfur, although pretreatment (hydrodesulfurization) may permit platinum catalysts to be employed.
