Set forth herein are processes for making lithium-stuffed garnet oxides (e.g., Li.sub.7La.sub.3Zr.sub.2O.sub.12, also known as LLZO) that have passivated surfaces comprising a fluorinate and/or an oxyfluorinate species. These surfaces resist the formation of oxides, carbonates, hydroxides, peroxides, and organics that spontaneously form on LLZO surfaces under ambient conditions. Also set forth herein are new materials made by these processes.

A fixing belt includes: a base having an endless shape; and a resin layer covering a surface on an inner peripheral side of the base, the resin layer comprising a resin and a filler, and having a second surface opposite to a first surface facing the base, the second surface having cell structures, and being roughened with the filler. When arithmetic mean roughnesses of the second surface in the central region X and the end regions Y and Z are defined as RaX, RaY and RaZ respectively, a difference between RaX and RaY, a difference between RaY and RaZ, and a difference between RaX and RaZ are all 0.1 μm or smaller, and a coefficient of variation of areas of the cell structures contained in each of the central region X, and end regions Y and Z is 25% or smaller.

Provided is an inorganic filler powder (3) having a structure in which at least a portion of the surface of inorganic particles (1) having a particle size of 1 μm or more is covered with inorganic microparticles (2) having a particle size of 10 nm or more and less than 0.1 μm, in which the coverage ratio of the surface of the inorganic particles (1) by the inorganic microparticles (2) is 30% or greater.

The invention concerns a continuous flow process for manufacturing surface modified metal oxide nanoparticles by supercritical solvothermal synthesis in an reaction medium flowing within a continuous flow chamber, said continuous flow chamber containing a hydrolysis area and a supercritical area, said process comprising the introduction of a flow of metal oxide precursor into the continuous flow chamber at a point P located in the hydrolysis area or in the supercritical area, and the introduction of a flow of is located downstream of P1 with respect to the flow direction, as well as the device for carrying out this process.

This invention relates to manufacturing briquettes, pellets and shapes from recycled asphaltic limestone powder derived from waste residential roofing products. Briquettes and pellets are manufactured through a densification process at varying temperatures, creating recycled asphalt pellets, asphalt limestone pellets and bio mass and coal fines briquettes. Various shapes, including curbs and posts, are manufactured through heat and pressure in molds. Seawalls, walkways and wall panels are manufactured by blending asphaltic limestone powders with polymer resins and extruded or pultruded into shapes.
