Modified rubber compositions comprise by weight about 15-60% of a highly saturated aliphatic rubber such as ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, about 25-80% of acrylate monomer units; and less than about 5% multi-functional monomer units. The compositions exist as amorphous heterogeneously dispersed phases. The first phase comprises the copolymer rubber to which polymers of at least 10% of the other monomer units are grafted. The second phase comprises the other monomers polymerized as homo and copolymers, not grafted to the rubber. Optionally, up to 20% of the composition comprises high index monomer units. The high index monomer units may be copolymerized with the acrylate and grafted to the rubber. Greater than 10% of the monomer units other than rubber are grafted to the rubber. The number average molecular weight of the grafts is between 10,000 and 80,000 daltons. About 2-20% by weight of one or more polymers may be provided to adjust the refractive indices of the rubber or the polyacrylate phase in the final product such that when the composition is present at the 10% rubber level, the haze can be reduced to less than 20%.

Rubber compositions with a high elastic modulus

Elongated granules of reinforcing fibers extending generally parallel to each other longitudinally within the granule substantially uniformly dispersed throughout a film forming latex binder composition. The granules provide complete dispersion of the fibers during their processing conserving physical properties of the fibers and provide improved handling and molding characteristics.

In the process for making glyoxal by catalytic oxidation of ethylene glycol in contact with catalyst comprising copper, glyoxal yield is improved and catalyst life is improved by the presence of a small amount of iodine or organic iodide in the reactant feed mixture.

Vapor phase oxidation process for making glyoxal

Piezoelectric ceramic polymer matrices, piezoelectric composites, and methods of make the matrices and composites are disclosed.

Piezoelectric composites

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a bonded particulate article by admixing particulate material with a binder system, the binder system being formed by admixing a polyol comprising a water soluble amylaceous hydrolyzate with a heterocyclic compound comprising the reaction product of glyoxal, urea, and formaldehyde, alone, or in further combination with ethylene glycol, with a solvent, and with an acid effective to control the rate of cross-linking between said polyol and said heterocyclic compound; forming the admixture in a shape and curing the shape to a bonded article.

Alkanols, e.g., octanol, are reacted in gas mixtures with excess ammonia and preferably hydrogen at temperatures from 180.degree. to 340.degree. C. over supported catalytic oxides of copper, manganese, antimony and tin at atmospheric to moderate pressures. Depending on the selected catalyst and selected temperature, yields of 40% to 98% of monoalkyl amines or nitriles are produced. Other organic substrates, such as aromatic alcohols and aldehydes, aliphatic aldehydes, esters and primary and secondary amines can also be converted to nitriles at yields greater than 90%. The process is readily adaptable for continuous flow processing.

Method of making piezoelectric composites

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a bonded particulate article by admixing particulate material with a binder system, the binder system being formed by admixing a polyol selected from the group comprising a saccharide, a saccharide polymer, and a glyco protein with a heterocyclic compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are, independently, aryl of from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or substituted alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms wherein the substituting group is hydroxy, alkoxy of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkoxy of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cyano, carboxy, carbalkoxy of from 1 to 7 carbon atoms or carbamoyl, or when R.sup.1 is --C.sub.x H.sub.2x --, R.sup.2 is --C.sub.x H.sub.2x O--, x being from 1 to 7, X is oxygen, sulfur or imino and Z is a divalent bridging radical, with a solvent, and an acid effective to control the rate of crosslinking between said polyol and said heterocyclic compound; forming the admixture in a shape; and curing to form the bonded article.

Catalysts for selective preparation of amines or nitriles from alkanols

A process for making a fully or a partially stabilized zirconia is disclosed. The process comprises making an aqueous solution of zirconium sulfate in admixture with an inorganic or organic water soluble salt of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra, Sc, Y, La, Ac, Ce, Hf, Th and Al. The aqueous solution is atomized into a solvent at least partially miscible with water with the solvent being agitated during the addition of the solution. The coprecipitated metal salt formed is separated from the solvent, washed with inert solvent or solvents, dried, and calcined.

High technology ceramics with partially stabilized zirconia

A method for preparing 2-alkenylimidazoles from readily available 2-alkylimidazoles or 2-alkylimidazolines by dehydrogenating the 2-alkylimidazole or 2-alkylimidazoline in the presence of a suitable dehydrogenation catalyst. The preferred method provides 2-vinylimidazole by dehydrogenating 2-ethylimidazole or 2-ethylimidazoline. The reaction is advantageously carried out in a vapor phase in the presence of an inert carrier gas using as preferred dehydrogenation catalysts, copper chromites and catalysts comprising one or more of the metals molybdenum, iron, cobalt, zinc or chromium on non-reducible oxide supports such as alumina or silica.
