Reaction injection molding (RIM) is a polymer processing operation whereby reactive liquid components are mixed, injected into a mold, and polymerized therein to form plastic items.

Aionic and cationic silicon clusters react exothermically with WF sub 6 give a variety of tungsten and silicon fluorides. All the silicon anionic clusters transfer their charge to WF sub 6.

The fluorinating properties of NF sub 3 and SF sub 6 in heavy metal fluoride glass processing were investigated between 200 and 1100C.

Prototypical silicon deposition and etching reactions have been observed in gas phase reactions of size selected bare silicon cluster ions with various neutral reagents at room temperature.

Studies of the reaction mechanisms of small clusters provide one possible means of understanding the chemical reactivity of surfaces at the microscopic level.

Cationic silicon clusters, Si + above (1-7) were observed to react bimolecularly and exothermically with xenon difluoride in the ion trap of a Fourier transform mass spectrometer.

The gas phase reactions of HCl with anionic gallium arsenide clusters, Ga sub x As sub y sup -, containing 2 to 6 atoms are presented.

The size-dependent reactivities of silicon clusters have provided insights into the cluster sites responsible for reaction.

Positively and negatively charged silicon cluster ions react exothermically with NO2. The predominant reaction is loss of a single silicon atom in the form of SiO.

The main features of a number of different methods of waveform analysis are enumerated and briefly discussed and an account is given of the principles governing the design of an analyser incorporat
