Method for Production of Multimodal Polyolefins of Tunable Composition, Molecular Weight, and Polydispersity
Published Wednesday, November 20, 2002This invention relates to a method of preparing multimodal polyolefins of a tunable composition by contacting a first polyolefin with at least one metallocene catalyst and then contacting the mixture with a second polyolefin and a second catalyst. The process may also be completed in a single step.A bimodal polymer is defined as a...

Metal Based Synthetic Nucleic Acid Enzymes
Published Monday, October 7, 2002Many industrial, medicinal and biological processes rely on metal complexes to activate and control the reactive power of molecular oxygen, nature's most abundant oxidant. Selectivity of these processes is dictated by a synergy expressed between the metal and its surrounding ligands that helps to create the active complexes. Dicopper protein...

Mitigation of Obsolescence Cost Analysis (MOCA)
Published Wednesday, July 24, 2002Many electronic parts have life cycles that are shorter than the life cycle of the product in which they function. Life cycle mismatches caused by the obsolescence of electronic parts can result in high sustainment costs for long life systems. In particular, avionics and military systems often encounter part obsolescence problems before being...
