A group of readily available zirconium catalysts incapable of ethene-co-styrene polymerization are remarkably active and selective for the production of the new polymer ethene-co-tert-butylstyrene via a single site mechanism.

A review of zirconium dioxide or zirconia ZrO2 is presented. The finding compounds in nature, the physical and chemical properties are given, polymorphism oxide, phase diagrams systems with its participation considered. areas application highlighted: automotive industry, electronics energy industrial ecology, equipment manufacturing mechanical engineering production zirconium-based refractories...

Most total knee replacement joints consist of a metal femoral component made from a cobalt-chromium- molybdenum (CoCrMo)-alloy and a tibial component with an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearing surface. Wear of the UHMWPE remains the primary disadvantage of these implants. The allergic potential ascribed to CoCrMo-alloys is a further concern. Other metallic alloys with and ...

Lithium exchanged phases of amorphous and crystalline zirconium titanium phosphate have been synthesized by an ion exchange technique. These materials have been characterized by elemental analysis (ICP-AES and AAS), spectral analysis (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction studies. The conductance properties of these materials have been explored by measuring specific conductance at...
