Special Reports:  Each week,the US Patent Literature and recent journal articles are reviewed for polymer related articles.  Some are abstracted and listed on Hot Topic Pages while others are listed.  Each page has a short introduction with the abstracts and article citations.  When they reach at least twenty entries they are assembled into a special report for distribution.  

For Topic Reports that are prepared for email distribution, the cost is $10 per report payable through PayPal available on the Maro website. This is true for all reports listed below.  Soon after the PayPal notification is received the report will be sent by email.  Paper copies are available by regular mail for $20 per report.  Reports can also be purchased by email or telephone or regular mail request and an invoice will be sent for payment.

Any topic listed under Hot Topics can  be ordered as a special report at $10 per page and or subtopic.  Polyrotaxane report listed below has a main page plus 5 suptopic pages for a total of $60.  Email delivery is no extra charges and regular mail is an extra $10 plus postage. 

Subscribers have access at any time to any of the special Topic reports as they are developed.  In addition, the subscriber may elect to have links kept on a special page on the website for a single topic of interest.  The Topic may be changed at any time.  Subcription rates are $300 for a single person,  $1000 per year for a single company site and $2000 per year for a global subscription.

Regular visitors to the website are invited to suggest Topics for inclusion in the Hot Topics List.  We are at all times trying to make the website as useful as possible to visitors.

Those wishing to buy a special report.  Anyone may purchase through paypal.  Be sure to give the name of the special report or email me th request.  (RDC)

Injection Molding

Injection molding (British English: moulding) is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity.  After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars.” (Wikipedia, Injection Molding, 8/12/2011)

Polyrotaxanes

Polyrotaxanes is a class of very strange polymers.  Basically they contain a ring group with a dumbell shaped group passing through the ring.  It is difficult to imaging useful applications but it will happen as indicated by the recent appearance of a patent.  It will be interesting to watch this development.  (RDC 6/3/2011)

“A rotaxane is a mechanically-interlocked molecular architecture consisting of a "dumbbell shaped molecule" which is threaded through a "macrocycle" (see graphical representation). The name is derived from the Latin for wheel (rota) and axle (axis). The two components of a rotaxane are kinetically trapped since the ends of the dumbbell (often called stoppers) are larger than the internal diameter of the ring and prevent disassociation (unthreading) of the components since this would require significant distortion of the covalent bonds.”
