An additive suited to use in combination with heat transfer media comprises a chemically stabilized nano-particle size powder. Suitable powders include those of copper, beryllium, titanium, nickel, iron, alloys or blends thereof, and carbon. The surface of the powder is modified by surface complexation or physical adsorption with a chemical agent. The additive, when mixed with a heat transfer medium, forms a colloidal dispersion which exhibits enhanced heat transfer capacity and thermal conductivity, stable chemical composition, faster heat transfer rates, dispersion maintenance which are beneficial to most heat transfer systems.

A composition comprised of graft copolymers of polyhydroxy compounds. The resulting high molecular weight grafted polyhydroxyl polymer can be used for applications taking advantage of the improved physical properties. The composition comprises monomeric and polymeric hydroxyl-substituted compounds, and grafting segments as selected from the group of -hydroxyalkanoic acids, -hydroxyalkanoic acids, and other polyesters. The composition provides an effective method to create an environmentally acceptable chewing gum comprising the steps of creating a chewing gum base that includes a sufficient amount of grafted polyhydroxy copolymer to create a resultant chewing gum that is more environmentally acceptable than a chewing gum without the graft copolymers of polyhydroxy compounds, and adding to the chewing gum base components known in the principles of the art of creating resultant chewing gum products from otherwise standard elastomers.

A surface modified alumina hydrate composition compatible with thermoplastic resins when used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressing filler. Surface modification is accomplished by treating powdered alumina hydrate with about 0. 2 to 5 percent by weight of a liquid mixture of C. sub. 10 -C. sub. 20 carboxylic acids having a titer below about 30. degree. C. and an iodine value of about 15 or less. In a preferred embodiment, the alumina hydrate has a particle size of less than about two microns, and the liquid mixture of acids comprises isostearic acid.

A system and process for recycling shredder residue, in which separating any polyurethane foam materials are first separated. Then separate a fines fraction of less than about 1/4 inch leaving a plastics-rich fraction. Thereafter, the plastics rich fraction is sequentially contacted with a series of solvents beginning with one or more of hexane or an alcohol to remove automotive fluids; acetone to remove ABS; one or more of EDC, THF or a ketone having a boiling point of not greater than about 125. degree. C. to remove PVC; and one or more of xylene or toluene to remove polypropylene and polyethylene. The solvents are recovered and recycled.
