Subject field(s)
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
CONT

In the preparation of teeth for conventional dental composite bonded restorations, pit and fissure sealants, cementation of prosthetic restorations, porcelain veneers, and bonding of orthodontic appliances, it is necessary to prepare the desired tooth surface. The standard method is a technique whereby the cleaned and dried tooth surface is treated with an acidic etchant solution or gel. Application of the etchant for a short period of time(approximately one minute) on the tooth surface to be treated, followed by a thorough water rinse and air drying, produces a selective dissolution of the tooth surface to promote an effective bond with the subsequently applied restorative bonding agent or materials. The acid removes calcium salts which increases the size and number of the microspaces. The bonding agent fills these "tags" and is then polymerized to produce the mechanical interlocking of resin to tooth.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

Polystyrene foam comes in two major categories, expanded bead, and extruded. Expanded bead foam is made by superheating small pellets of styrene so that they rapidly expand (sort of like popcorn) to form a low density foam. Expanded bead foam is light (about 1.5 pounds per cubic foot typically) and inexpensive, and because of the way it is made, lends itself to all types of molded products. It is the type of foam found in beer coolers and most contour packaging. It is also used as a cheap insulator. Because expanded bead foam has air pockets between the beads, it is less suitable for exterior use, for flotation, or for any application where water or water vapor can invade the air pockets between beads.

CONT

Bead Foam. This material is produced from expandable polystyrene beads(granules)... There are two methods used in the preparation of the beads. In one, polymer granules are heated with a blowing agent(usually a hydrocarbon) that penetrates them. In the second method styrene monomer is polymerized in the presence of a blowing agent so that the blowing agent becomes entrapped in the plastic beads.... The expandable beads are converted to foam as follows. They are subjected to heating by steam, hot water or hot air to give pre-expanded beads; aged(or conditioned) for a period of time; the pre-expanded beads again heated(in a mould) so that they undergo additional expansion, flow to fill the interstices(spaces between particles) and fuse. This results in an integral moulded piece.

Domaine(s)

CONT

La mousse moulée. Ce type de mousse est produit à partir des granulés de polystyrène expansibles dont la grosseur va de 0.2 à 3.0 mm (de 0.008 à 0.118 po) et dont la forme va des particules arrondies aux morceaux concassés. Pour préparer des particules on peut utiliser deux méthodes. Dans la première méthode, les granulés de polymère sont chauffés tout en y faisant pénétrer un agent gonflant (ordinairement un hydrocarbure). Dans la seconde méthode, le monomère styrène est polymérisé en présence d'un agent gonflant de telle sorte que ce dernier soit emprisonné dans les granulés de plastique. Les principaux agents gonflants sont des hydrocarbures (par exemple, les pentanes et les hexanes isomères), des halocarbures et des mélanges des deux. Les granulés expansibles sont convertis en mousse de la manière suivante. Ils sont chauffés au moyen de la vapeur, de l'eau chaude, ou de l'air chaud, afin d'obtenir des granulés (particules) pré-expansés de mousse; après une période de vieillissement (ou de conditionnement), les granulés sont chauffés une fois de plus (dans un moule) de sorte qu'ils subissent une nouvelle expansion, en même temps qu'ils s'écoulent de façon à remplir les interstices (espaces entre les particules) et se soudent entre eux. On obtient une pièce moulée intégrale.

Overtime operations will be permissible on Saturday and Sunday nights(from 5. 00 p. to 11. 00 pm). This overtime will be normally worked for the purposes of loading vessels, in preparation for shipping, or for shipping related activities(e. g. inspection of grain or retreatment of grain). The working of overtime for non-shipping purposes during these periods will be kept to a minimum. In circumstances where the loading of a vessel is near completion, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm for a period not exceeding 2 hours to complete the loading of the vessel. In certain emergency situations, such as the turning of grain required for immediate shipment, or the repair of equipment which has broken down, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm until the emergency is rectified.

L'air de ventilation passe plus facilement près des parois que dans l'axe central de la cellule. Dans cette zone, le grain est en effet plus tassé, plus chargé en poussière fine et la hauteur y est plus importante du fait du "talus naturel". Pour remédier à ce défaut, il faut éliminer la colonne centrale de grain en effectuant un transilage. Le grain peut être remis dans la cellule ou mieux, introduit dans une autre. Si cette solution n'est pas envisageable, il faut adapter des éparpilleurs aux tuyaux de descente afin d'atténuer quelque peu ce défaut.

A lyophobic colloidal system is one which is intrinsically unstable with respect to aggregation of the colloidally dispersed materials into macroscopic phases.

OBS

Lyophobic systems which coagulate only very slowly are sometimes referred to as stable. A better word, "diuturnal" has been used by Mysels. It describes such systems more accurately as having a life-time long compared to the period of observation. Preferably this word should be used, together with its antonym, "caducous" where appropriate, in the description of lyophobic systems, rather than the terms stable and unstable.... However, lyophobic systems must be prepared either by aggregation of molecularly dispersed material or by subdivision of coarse material. Even during the preparation provision must be made to prevent aggregation of the newly formed particles.

OBS

Mobile/Transportable PCB Destruction. A number of companies have developed mobile/transportable PCB thermal destruction systems. These mobile/transportable systems have the advantage that destruction can be performed on-site, which eliminates the costs and risks of transporting wastes from a waste site to a stationary destruction facility. Few systems are truly mobile in that the system or system modules can travel by road to the site and be operative with no additional site assembling or fabrication. In general, the size and complexity of thermal destruction systems requires site preparation, system module assembly, and a commissioning trial burn period prior to hazardous waste operation.
