Apparatus and methods for mixing and dispersing a dispersed phase in a medium comprise a rotating surface for receiving the medium and an atomizing apparatus positioned at the rotating surface for depositing aerosolized constituents of the dispersed phase into the medium. The medium is made receptive and the dispersed phase is aerosolized. Constituents of the aerosolized dispersed phase are deposited into the receptive medium to form a compound or composite. The medium may be deposited onto a rotating disk, and the dispersed phase may be sprayed onto the disk. A thin film can be generated on the disk to transfer, distribute, and disperse the dispersed phase. Liquid ligaments formed at the edge of the rotating disk further transfer, distribute, and disperse the dispersed phase into the medium. Ligaments may be broken into aerosols or deformed by attenuation/drawing to further promote transfer, distribution, and dispersion. A bulk composite/compound may be collected.

A method for manufacturing a preformed swimming pool or swimming pond, the method includes at least the steps of providing a mould and providing the mould on the convex side with a first plastic layer which is supplied in powder form and heated and applied on the convex side of the mould.

A method for manufacturing a preformed swimming pool or swimming pond, the method includes at least the steps of providing a mould and providing the mould on the convex side with a first plastic layer which is supplied in powder form and heated and applied on the convex side of the mould.

According to this procedure, these steps are made: a) immersing a shaped mold (4) in a dipping process in a liquid synthetic polyisoprene (IR) (synthetic latex), wherein the shaped mold (4) has previously been treated with coagulation agent (coagulants) or thermally treated, b) after the immersion, the synthetic polyisoprene layer is left on the shaped mold (4) and is freed from all salts with water, c) thereafter, the synthetic polyisoprene layer together with the shaped mold (4) is vulcanized in an oven, d) the synthetic polyisoprene layer is removed from the mold (4), e) the salts precipitated by the vulcanization on the synthetic polyisoprene molded body (11) are washed off with water and a chlorine-containing solution, f) the synthetic polyisoprene molded body (11) is halogenated to neutralize its pH and to increase its suppleness in contact with body skin with a halogenating solution, g) the synthetic polyisoprene molded body (11) is dried. The electro-protective gloves thus produced are much more comfortable to wear, provide better insulation, even with thinner wall thickness, and they are more durable.

A metallic product compartment of a single-use, self-heating container has melted onto one or more of its surfaces and re-solidified a shaped fusible material containing a reaction suppressant. A method of manufacturing includes providing the product container, positioning the fusible material, as a solid, in contact with a metallic wall of the container, heating at least a portion of the metallic wall with an electromagnetic induction heater to at least partially melt a portion of the fusible material, and enabling the melted portion of the fusible material to cool and re-solidify, thereby adhering the fusible material to the metallic wall.
