Xenon fluorides show potential as fluorinating agents

Xenon fluorides permit the controlled addition of fluorine across an olefinic double bond. They provide a series of fluorinating agents that permit ready separation from the product at a high purity. The reactions may be carried out in the vapor phase.

Solvent permits solid curing agents to be used at room temperatures

Solvent system dissolves the solid curing agents used with polyurethane resins in adhesive systems. The system developed yields bond strengths comparable to 100 percent solid formulations. The optimum solvent chosen was a 55.5 percent solution in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran.

Optical bonding agents for severe environments

Test results and applications of elastors (General Electric RTV 665, Dow Corning (DC) XR-63-488, DC 93-500, DC 182, and DC 184) considered for use as optical bonding agents in aerospace environments are presented.

Feasibility study for the manufacture of zero gravity pharmaceuticles, immunological, and viral agents

The feasibility of extracting, isolating, purifying, separating, or preparing medical and biological products of high socio-economic value in space was studied. In particular, the study was designed to concentrate on the isolation or purification of virals, pharmaceutical and immunological agents by means of electrophoresis, as the Apollo 16 flight demonstrated that a mixed population of latex spheres (.2 and .8 microns) could be successfully separated by electrophoresis in space and without sedimentation with minimal convection. This prompted NASA scientists to look into the possibility of carrying out types of biochemical experiments that would utilize space for medical purposes.
