Sliding of poly(vinyl chloride) on metals studied by Auger electron spectroscopy

The sliding of polyvinyl chloride on nickel, iron and S-Monel has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy. Polymer was not transferred to the metals, rather shear appeared to take place at the interface. The metal was progressively chlorinated as the polymer made multiple passes on the surface. The thickness of this chlorine film was the order of one atomic layer. Electron-induced desorption studies indicate that the chlorine is chemisorbed to the metal. These results are interpreted as evidence for mechanically induced and/or thermal degradation of the polymer during sliding. Degradation products of HCl and Cl2 which chemisorb to the metal are evolved near the interface.

Internal pressures and molecular dimensions in aqueous solutions of some chlorides

On the basis of measurements of the velocity of ultrasounds in aqueous solutions of some alkaline-earth chlorides (MgCl2, CaCl2, BaCl2) the concentration and temperature dependences of the internal pressure were determined. Using these results, as well as surface tension measurements, the mean diameters of the molecular species as a function of concentration and temperature, were determined.

Performance of cellulose acetate butyrate membranes in hyperfiltration of sodium chloride and urea feed solution

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) membranes are shown to give high salt and urea rejection with water flux of about 3 gallons/sq ft per day at 600 psig. Membranes prepared from a formulation containing glyoxal show a significant increase in flux and decrease in salt and urea rejection with drying time. Zero drying time gives maximum urea and salt rejection and is therefore most suitable for hyperfiltration of sodium chloride and urea feed solution.

Double-discharge copper vapor laser with copper chloride as a lasant

A copper vapor laser utilizing copper chloride as a lasant in a heated discharge tube has been studied. The lasing action was observed only when two successive discharge current pulses at suitable time intervals were applied. The first pulse is considered to be a dissociation pulse to produce copper and chlorine atoms; the second to be a pumping pulse to produce population inversion. The maximum energy density measured to date was 17 microjoule/cu cm.

Manganese laser using manganese chloride as lasant

A manganese vapor laser utilizing manganese chloride as a lasant has been observed and investigated. Lasing is attained by means of two consecutive electrical discharges. The maximum laser output is obtained at a vapor pressure of about 3 torr, a temperature of 680 C, and a time delay between electrical discharges of 150 microsec. The maximum energy density is 1.3 microjoule per cu cm.

Stress corrosion cracking of a titanium alloy in chloride-containing liquid environments

Ti-8 Al-1 Mo-1 V was tested in solvents containing chloride, bromide or iodide ions. It was found that the region II plateau velocity could be correlated with the inverse of the viscosity for several solvents. It seems most likely that this reflects the influence of the viscosity on the diffusion coefficient of some species involved in a mass transfer process which limits the crack growth. Associated tests were performed in which the potential, pH and concentration of Cl- were varied, in some of the same solutions as used for the viscosity tests. It is concluded from these tests that the absence of cathodic protection against cracking in solutions of low pH arises from an ohmic effect which isolates the crack tip from external potential control.
